Waivers don't really matter do they?

The company is over.

I’ve heard they’re relaunching as OceanBait

It's the 19 year old I feel for. Billionaire with his whole life ahead of him

We should feel for all lives lost, even those that have just achieved their first £500m

BBC Documentary from previous expeditions. Got it off reddit, yes they have their own dedicated subreddit for this subject. Might also be on Iplayer, not sure.

Can't wait for Channel 5s touching heart felt documentary about it..titled. "5 men in a tube implode", here's Barry from my local pub to give us his expert opinion.

I understand this is tragic and it will affect sub trips like this is years to come, but I do hope from this at least lessons will be learnt. maybe the international comunity will now start putting some kind of minimum safety standards on all subs. At least this is something that should hopefully not happen again.

I hate to be critical but if it was off the bow why did it take so long to find it?

Indeed that was one of my thoughts, some lawyers are gonna get rich out of this.

Signing a waiver is one thing, but if the craft wasn't fit for purpose or in the state they claimed I think there are going to be all sorts of civil cases incoming.

Yep, things like waiting 8 hours before alerting the coast guard and not having much in the way of rescue equipment on site / back up sub. Unless all of that was also made clear to them in the waiver then I expect that company will be taken to the cleaners.

They only managed to get remote search vehicles down to the Titanic wreck today

Hard to say, but he has said there was 2 debris fields. Once the Rov's were down there, they have actually found it very fast.

Pretty sure the waiver wouldn't have stated the vessel is not fit for purpose

 

[robfosters]

That Reporter asking about body recovery. The look on the fellas face just gave it away, there’s nothing left to recover.

 

[Freakbro]

So they found both ends, nothing of the tube by the sounds of it.

Ah ok

I hate to point out the obvious but it's 4km underwater and 700km from the nearest shore. Boats in general don't travel very fast and boats with dive vessels that can reach 4km deep aren't ten a penny and are not known for their speed.

When you start looking into it you can see how crazy the whole thing was. Only problem is the owner is dead. How can you sue?

He must have conned them all or they were incredibly naive and didn't check what they were getting themselves into.

As I thought the end bells are intact and the carbon fibre hull imploded because it wasn't up to the job.
