What an immoral man. Safety wouldn’t be an issue if it’s just bobbing along just underneath the surface, but it should be an issue when you’re going 12,500 feet underwater where the atmospheres are about 100,000 times the surface.
I hope he goes to jail. His actions cost 5 lives.

One person could stretch his legs at a time, and the man responsible was inside, trapped with the 4 victims, nasty business.

Isn’t he the pilot. Assumably, if the others die, he will perish as well.

From some earlier reporting and discussion on FR, I am increasing curious about the dissimilar materials used--carbon fiber, titanium, glues, which as was noted, expand and contract differently as circumstances change. And mix that with it never apparently being tested to see real world results, not just engineering modeling, and considering fatigue over time, this increasingly sounds like an accident just waiting to happen.
Then again, it could be simply that the wireless Playstation controller crapped out. What was their backup, if any?

I’d bet that the hull breached on Day 1.

is this the same guy that said he didn’t want any 50 year old white guys in his company?

But did they get to see the titanic? Maybe they were so excited to see, they decide to stay longer

I hope he goes to jail. Who's going to arrest him?

About 400x.

Peasant! Know your place.
These are the sort of people that the modern corporate state refers to as ‘talent’.

He’s onboard. Likely paying with his life.

The primary controller was the wireless PS3 controller but the touchscreen displays in the submersible could be used to override the controller or replace it entirely if needed. *Supposedly* there was no functionality of the controller that was not available through the touchscreens, but that doesn’t mean it was as rapidly accessible or usable.
The manufacturer of the huge cockpit viewport and ring refused to certify it below 1300 meters due to some of the design elements, FYI.

Four of the people on board could take measures to reduce the oxygen consumption by 20%.

I did not know that. Definitely is paying for his error.
I do hope they all get rescued, so he can face jailtime for his stupidity.
