Another comment from AC’s blog:
[quote]I’m finding the Titan story to be really weird, too. It reads like a “fake your own death” scenario in a mystery novel: Let the world know that your sub is a cheap piece of crap about to go on an incredibly dangerous voyage. Fire everyone on your team who actually knows what they’re doing. Deliberately flout every safety precaution there is. The result? Nobody is surprised when A: Your voyage ends in doom, and B: Your sub–and you–are never found. And off you secretly go on your merry way.
Mind you, I’m not saying that I THINK that’s what happened. Only that this scenario seems almost more logical than that this crowd paid 250K to go on an obvious suicide mission for such a trivial reason. I mean, you could get a better look at the Titanic ruins by watching a YouTube video.[/quote]

Interesting theory.
