With or without chips?

There is a plexiglass window at the front made from acryllic, which is likely to have shrunk under the intense pressure, causing the implosion. It was brought up during the construction process that it would not be capable of deep sea exploration but was apparently ignored with a "it'll be fine" attitude.

I can't for the life of me understand why you would ignore safety advice when undertaking something so dangerous. What the fuck did they think would happen?

Cost-cutting, supposedly. They were proud of the fact they'd built a submersible on the cheap.

It is sad that a young lad has died at the whims of his father, but I just don't get how if they sealed themselves in a windowless pipe and was gonna look at the remaihs through a streamed link not with their own eyes did they not
a)not bother and jist send a drone dowm to see exactly the same streamed images
b) the boat captain didn't just blag them and lower them into the ocean enpugh to feel lile they were deep underwater then send a drone and let them think they were captqin nemo while safely bobbin around on a winch completely unaware.

Seems a senseless waste just to watch a tv screened camera show on a whim, as Cameron has said the whole thing was doomed from the start

Cameron went to the wreck 33 times, do we know how ? Because it was obviously safer than this method ??

You're right, you wouldn't make the six o'clock news. But this did, primarily because it involved the titanic, which many have a morbid fascination with, and also because there was a real chance the people on board were about to suffer an agonising death. It was always going to be headline news. You suggested people wouldn't be bothered if you fell to your death from a ladder, which is nonsensical. Because the people close to you would surely be cut up.

Sounds like a large ladder if it causes collateral damage

Hubris alert!

'I'd like to be remembered as an innovator,' said CEO Stockton Rush. 'I think it was General (Douglas) MacArthur who said: "You're remembered for the rules you break." And you know, I've broken some rules to make this.

'I think I broke them with logic and good engineering behind me. The carbon fibre and titanium, there's a rule you don't do that – well I did.

'There's picking the rules that you break that are the rules that will add value to others and add value to society, and that really to me is about innovation.'

He went in a few different ones and even ended up making his own. But they're usually very small (1 or 2 man). These cowboys wanted a bigger one so that they could accommodate paying passengers. This resulted in them cutting loads of corners and breaking loads of established rules, with cost and ultimately profitability being the main factor.
