There’s a paywall unfortunately

I guess the CEO of OceanGate joining them for the dive would have given them a false sense of comfort.

Interestingly, that same CEO mentioned that the Titan submersible was already showing signs of cyclical fatigue back in 2020:

It would be fascinating if we could get an aircraft disaster style analysis but I don’t know if they would do so for marine accidents.

Also worth flooding them with links a map to where they can board the new ship where the 🏴‍☠️ flag still flies high.

I’ve got a one that has long since died due to the leaky capacitors. Tried to resurrect it but no luck so far. May look to salvage the chips for a full mainboard replacement at some point.
