Expensive way to join the Titanic dead

[kbaxter60]

Truthfully not much to discuss.

1. It’s a bobber
2. It’s a needle in a haystack,
3. It’s trapped
4. If the bell ruptured, it crushed like a beer can.

5. A couple or several somebodies are gonna be rich.

I have been keeping track of this story the last two days, and I swear, this "sub" is straight from Harbor Freight.

In this link, it is discussed how a former engineer was fired for questioning the safety of the project. Also how the company refused to "class" the craft with independent technical inspectors, a standard in the sub industry.

In the posted video at the 3:47 mark, the construction is discussed, how they glued the titanium part to the carbon fiber section.
And at the 5 minute mark, the CEO discussed his "philosophy" on hiring sub operators.

That comes later. Food for thought: the hatch is sealed by a dozen and a half bolts that can only he removed from the outside.

Let’s say they’re in bobber mode, safe and sound. They’re still captive to the CO2 scrubbers for breathable air while getting tossed about with zero directional control in the wave tops.

Imagine the interpersonal dynamics going on in there in that scenario.

I would not have been in that thing in a swimming pool let alone the ocean.

Wonder if they bought the traveler's insurance.....

 

[Vaquero]

They signed the waiver.

 

[TX oddball]

They signed the waiver.

But did they read it?

I will be shocked if this rinky dink outfit has any significant assets. Bankruptcy in 3-2-1 …

I'm guessing the future passengers have cancelled and want their money back.

The CEO was on the sub.

Not required. One dude is a billionaire. Another worth hundreds of millions.

You should ask them....

So which is it? They are going to be rich or they already are?

As usual @toddnjoyce you nailed it. I’m going with option 4

A couple of the Passengers are mega rich, and, if toast, their heirs will be. Although one took his son along...

If you have an ounce of negotiating skill, I would be willing to bet you could get the children's rate.

What could possibly go wrong?
