Got the full experience, what a bargain
Cause of implosion, right wing douchebaggery.
Safety rules are bullshit, fuck the environment, any govt regulation is bullshit etc.
This billionaire must of fell for the carbon fiber marketing bs.
Ftr titanium isn't worth a fuck either, totally overrated.
You can best relate. To me this has the nonsensical ring of “Into Thin Air” Krakauer. I’m sure it was quite a rush.Quote:

You know I was just pondering...its kind of like a "Titanic Curse" or what have you.
The Titanic essentially sank because of cocky/arrogant management cutting corners and using subpar hull materials.
The Titan submersible imploded because of cocky/arrogant management cutting corners and using subpar hull materials.
Yup. Nailed it.Quote:

I’m a big fan of the Titanic conspiracy theory.
I’d never heard of it until I saw it on PFA the other nightQuote:

Maybe hanging out in an active volcano is worse. Outside a volcano, what is a worse spot on earth than an ocean floor two miles away from land? Maybe walking around the Sudan with a Cross chain on your neck would be worse.
But here is the deal, thrill seekers will challenge death all the time. I mean Tom Cruise does some incredibly crazy shit and it would not surprise anyone if you pulled up Drudge one morning and his giant face is all over the page with the obit under it. BUT, he takes every precaution in the book.
These fucking guys just hopped into an non-certified vessel, billionaires, and said fuck it lets go. Except the poor 19 year old son, who probably was terrified. That just sucks.
The Oceangate founder will almost certainly be indicted over this.
Brothers I feel sorry for everyone on board and their families.
If you think about it, really, in reduced terms, the Titan submersible imploded because of cocky/arrogant management cutting corners and using subpar hull materials on the Titanic.Quote:

How dare they make a submersible out of carbon fiber. These are thick pieces sent in by some premier composite manufacturer.

Cliffs: CF is surprisingly weak when crushed.
Imo they didn't crush that last one on its side so as to not embarrass they CF manufacturer.
As far as titanium, my cousin got upsold some titanium gears for his quad, lasted like 2 rides.
They must of been making the sub light for transport reasons. So the mother ship could carry it and loading / unloading.
Fuck that.
One thing for sure, this is going to make a helluva a movie, probably $1B gross since its linked to the Titanic. Obviously Tom Hanks will be playing the Oceangate owner Stockton Rush.
The question is: Have enough people gone on Dunkdown for this lesson to be learned?Quote:

The only redeeming thing in this whole saga, was the owner was on board his own shitvessel. I am sure when the walls were caving in, I just assume in the back of his mind was yeah, this thing is a piece of shit.
What a creative way to fake your death.
Would be awesome if true.
Oceangate vessel is a metaphor for the USQuote:

THE SUB DID NOT IMPLODE, PEOPLE. THIS GOES (AHEM) DEEPER THAN WE COULD HAVE IMAGINED.
