“The Coast Guard said it had created a marine board of investigation (MBI), its highest level of probe.”
Waste of money. As was the “rescue effort”.
James Cameron said the submersible was only a few thousand feet down when it imploded.
The seem to suggest perhaps a Viewport failure rather than an implosion, in my wild speculation. The cover seemed largely intact and not bent as I would expect in an implosion.
The huge chunks of metal were unloaded from the Horizon Arctic ship at the Canadian Coast Guard pier in St John's, Newfoundland, Canada, this morning
Several large pieces of the vessel have been recovered from the ocean, but other sections are believed to have been decimated by the implosion
The owner of this company should get an El Dope-o award supreme. I’m sorry that he was able to dupe people into paying for their deaths. I’m glad it was fast for the participants.
No part of the carbon fiber hull is shown, event attached to the other wreckage, which suggests just about the whole thing shattered instantaneously.
They should have left enough debris for tourism
Really? There was an implosion? All 5 died. Thanks DM. I haven’t read that more than 367 times so far.
Maybe there’s some ‘artifacts’ that can be auctioned off
i wonder if the carbon-fiber tube fractured into a bazillion microscopic fragments ...
“’My primary goal is to prevent a similar occurrence by making the necessary recommendations to enhance the safety of the maritime domain worldwide,’ said Jason Neubauer,”
Oh come on. Nobody is going to do this again for a long long time.
The sub was not adequately built to withstand the rigors of diving to that depth and could have failed at several points. To me it is senseless to bring up wreckage as what part failed first is irrelevant. The whole design was flawed. As for attempting to recover any remains …total folly.
Hi.
From my limited observation of this incident, methinks narcissism and his cousin hubris will get people killed.

A few rolls of duct tape, and she’ll be good to go.
That controller would be worth real gold!
