I don’t think that any crew member is held culpable for the vessel failure. They should have consulted old men with slide rules who designed subs in WWI and WWII that returned from their missions.

Always trust a woman when she talks about male hubris.

Without male hubris there will be no babies.(1st Law of Nature).

The Titan was controlled by a joy stick. Draw your own conclusion.

I won’t allow the door to slap my ass.

Apparently no one could tell him anything once the cyclic damage was occuring.

From several accounts he was warned repeatedly that the vehicle was no longer safe to those depths.

I just watched the I-52 exploration last night. It is at 3 miles down. Wow

Repeated dives in proper vehicles. Don’t know if they used both vehicles.

They are now decommissioned and on museum display.
