“Once the vessel’s weights dissolved after 24 hours, the submersible would be able to rise to the surface.”

“electronic drops for the weights.”

Fly by wire weight release? Absolutely stupid, manual or forget it. Same with steering and brakes on vehicles.

So they knew for a while that their design was NOT safe to carry passengers.

The more I hear about this makes it very hard to understand why anyone would get on this thing to see a decaying wreck.

The people that lived to tell the story of their own experience on this cheesy sub give me the creeps.

These stories must not have gotten much notice outside the submersible community or nobody would do this.

Stockton was very careless.

I saw video where Rush had Handles screwed to the top and Monitors screwed to the sides of the inside so how far do the screws go into the carbon fiber ?

But at least he didn’t have any of those uninspiring 50-year old White Men in his company ...

At least he didn’t have any 50+ year old white guys on the payroll.

Just what was he suppose to tell them to do? Get out and push?

This entire thing is bizzare.

There were a lot of things that went wrong which got them in that situation. That said, being in that situation, it was a perfectly reasonable response and course of action.

I keep wondering if they were stowing the submersible outside between trips. The carbon fiber does age rapidly when exposed to sunlight.
