gee that sounds familiar

🚨 @meharris.bsky.social got thousands of internal emails, designs, and other documents from OceanGate, the company behind the doomed Titan sub that imploded last year. www.wired.com/story/titan-...

The Titan Submersible Disaster Shocked the World. The Inside Story Is More Disturbing Than Anyone Imaginedwww.wired.com A year after OceanGate’s sub imploded, thousands of leaked documents and interviews with ex-employees reveal how the company’s CEO cut corners, ignored warnings, and lied in his fatal quest to reach t...

“To mitigate these risks, the Boeing engineers suggested…”

I'd listen to a boeing engineer managers on the other hand

surprised they didn't invite a Boeing whistleblower on that sub ride, darth.

Holy crap that’s dark. Really really funny, but dark.

Oh! I know ! Me! Me! Me! They suggested, brace for it, to close the window!

I occasionally think about how James Cameron became an expert on subs when he wanted to build a sub, to the point where he was enough of a subject matter expert to talk about it on the news.

And that, ironically enough, proves that this sector in particular did make room for innovators who were not all phds or credentialed engineers. That kind of gate keeping wasn’t what stifled this guy’s innovation - it was the inescapable laws of physics.

People who are used to being able to bullshit their way into a sense of total objective certainty often get very angry about physics I find.

stop stifling my innovations in billionaire goo

I feel like we keep hearing this story, where bored billionaire dereg libertarians kept hiding issues because they have main character syndrome and overrode every expert. Not that I mind!

I'm stuck on that having happened a year ago.

Nothing bad ever happens because someone thinks that, right, darth?

Industry regulations sometimes know as "obeying the laws of physics".

Wonder if that'll help or hurt the case against him, since this was a "feature" of his product and therefore people knew what they were getting into?

Story is a great read.

Well, he sure found an innovative, if inefficient, way to feed some fish.
