    Here's the link to the article. Enjoy. Every screenshot I've seen has been pulling out a different "favourite" detail on how entirely fucked the whole thing was https://www.newyorker.com/news/a-reporter-at-large/the-titan-submersible-was-an-accident-waiting-to-happen

      The Titan Submersible Was “An Accident Waiting to Happen”
      from Ben Taub
      Interviews and e-mails with expedition leaders and employees reveal how OceanGate ignored desperate warnings from inside and outside the company. “It’s a lemon,” one wrote.

      To be scrupulously fair to everyone involved, this exact same thing happened to me and a mate playing Tony Hawk while stoned in the late 00s.

      "We'll just wait for the fucking thing to degrade sufficiently" is quite the safety feature

      Favourite detail so far, on the ~real-time hull monitoring system~

      "We didn’t know what it would sound like if something went wrong.”

      I assume there isn't an international regulator for these kinds of expeditions. Never heard of anything so shoddy. Your car would be condemned if it was that bad.

      @SusanLewis There seem to be numerous regulatory bodies around the world. Any one of which would have prevented this numbskull from perpetrating this calamitous farce.

      So, of course, being a billionaire brain genius, he twisted himself in knots specifically to avoid their jurisdiction.

      @stavvers Read somewhere that the people inside the submersible would not have any time to know it was an implosion. Such an event happens in 1 millisecond apparently. Stuff from eyeball to brain takes couple hundred milliseconds. and pain signals take a bit longer. It would have been a case of living, then instantly dead.

      @goatsarah @stavvers Ugggh can't unsee that image! But yeah, instant implosion means immediate forced pressure of air inside for a brief moment - which would have ruptured ear drums, and yes probably 'squeezed' the brain membrane.

      @goatsarah @stavvers @christopherd I'm glad there wouldn't have been time for them to experience any pain; very much one of those "you stop being biology and start being physics" kind of deaths
