Long read, but if you’d still like a summary (via Meta AI):
The article reports on the Titan submersible disaster, which killed all five people on board. The submersible, operated by OceanGate, imploded due to pressure hull failure. Key points:
- OceanGate’s CEO, Stockton Rush, prioritized profit over safety, ignoring expert warnings.
- The Titan submersible was not certified by any regulatory agency, and passengers signed risk waivers.
- The incident highlights the lack of regulation in deep-sea tourism and raises ethical questions.
I have just realised that you don’t sign risk waivers when getting in planes
Boeing: created designs, warned them not to skimp on testing
UW: tested a bunch of models, all failed well below requirements
Various Manufacturers: Built what was asked, but warned them to test it thoroughly
CEO, Rush: Let’s skimp on materials and testing. Also, let’s ignore all the warnings from qualified employees, manufacturers, and licensing bodies.
