Too late, others are already going there... I did of course hang fire and let others take the reins, so no hard feelings. Realistically it was inevitable.

More I hear about this thing the worse it gets. Seems like pretty much everything from the design of the probably-not-fully-tested-composite-pressure-hull-design-with-unknown-cyclic-load-fatigue-characteristics through to the wireless controller are janky as ****.
Then you hear about how the CEO didn't want to hire experienced engineers because they're 50 year old white men, losing communication is a regular occurrence, and bobbing around lost on the surface is a known problem that they have done nothing to address, and they fired and sued the guy that tried to raise safety concerns.
Just wtf did they think they were doing.

Oh this is fantastic stuff right here, sorry Adam
I did myself a kipper there. Relying on the technology of my mobile phones auto type instead of doing it the right way and proof reading it
At least I proved my point on myself too. Haha.

Nicola Bulley diving specialist offers theory about Titanic submarine's location
Peter Faulding was brought in to a search-and-rescue missing in January to find missing mum Nicola Bulley in Lancashire - he failed to do so, but has weighed in on the Titanic submarine search
I thought he was discredited

I'm surprised this guy hasn't offered to help
I knew it!Nicola Bulley diving specialist offers theory about Titanic submarine's location
Peter Faulding was brought in to a search-and-rescue missing in January to find missing mum Nicola Bulley in Lancashire - he failed to do so, but has weighed in on the Titanic submarine searchwww.dailystar.co.uk
And pun intended, he's way out of his depth to be commenting on things lost in Oceans given his history

This has to be a joke? Surely he's hiding out of embarrassment still?

Well yes, he’s quoted in The Daily Star lol
Ngl I saw a couple earlier that did make me laugh out loud. I did not feel good about laughing though!
e: Kind of too soon, but possibly also just early enough, given plenty of people still seem to think they might be alive so it isn't 100% ghoulish yet? Soon to be too soon though.

Months
Regardless of the outcome it’ll be on Netflix within a couple of years
Maybe the soon is too soon too!
Reports from some outlets had some info on the measures in place, like automatic ballast activation if it stayed under for x amount of time. Of course that won't happen if the sub has in fact imploded due to the structural issues somewhere.
Well a documentary is due tomorrow by channel 5 lol:
Channel 5 to air Titanic submarine documentary hours after it runs out of oxygen
Quick turnaround documentary will be presented by Dan Walker
www.independent.co.uk
They are literally airing the doc whilst the crew are still freshly frozen in 2 degrees temps down there (assuming the sub didn't implode and is laying on the sea bed somewhere).
Also more bad info emerges about the whole venture:
OceanGate CEO sued by couple months before Titanic submarine went missing
Stockton Rush was sued by Florida couple Marc and Sharon Hagle in February after they allegedly paid more than $200,000 for a Titanic wreck expedition that never eventuated
