Maybe that’s true but at least the company doesn’t hire white guys.

I’m betting the ‘sub’ wasn’t insured... no ‘nondestructive’ testing... nothing.

Hey, if the controller works for video games, it should work for subs, right?

I just keep thinking of the line from Hunt for Red October: “You lost another submarine?”

How did these folks pull this off for so long. I mean this is anxiety people do not need. Im sure theyre sold on safety and comfort but from what I keep seeing this was a nightmare every time it went down.

From Daily Mail:
The landing frame and rear cover of the missing Titan submersible have been discovered on the ocean floor, according to experts involved in the search, who say it points to the vessel suffering a ‘catastrophic implosion’ that will have claimed all five of the lives on board.
The US Coast Guard announced on Twitter that the ‘debris field’ had been found on Thursday. They are yet to confirm what exactly was discovered, but Richard Garriott, President of the Explorers’ Club, tells DailyMail.com his understanding from the teams involved in the search is that key components of the sub were among the items.
It would mean the sub suffered a crack and imploded under the underwater pressure, instantly killing all five men on board.
‘A debris field implies there’s a break up of the submersible and at that depth, because we know that they lost communications at around 3,300m… so that really indicates what is the worst case scenario which is a catastrophic failure, an implosion.
‘The only saving grace is that it would have been immediate, literally in milliseconds and the men would have no idea what was happening,’ David Mearns, a friend of two of the men on board, said during an appearance on Sky News in the UK this evening. He added: ‘My worst fears have now been realized.’

Sky News is saying now that some of the debris has been identified as part of the little sub.
