The vehicle imploded. All were lost. News conference is on now. May the Lord comfort all who knew and loved them.

Sad news indeed.

I figured they were all dead. Sad for them, their family and friends

This will put the brakes on private deep water submersibles for a while. But not for long.. Within 1-2 years, I expect to see new designs, claiming to be safer and better equipped for emergencies. There are always people ready, willing, and eager to push the envelope. It’s human nature.

At least they were spared that experience.

Those who seek extreme adventures know the risks. Not unlike attempting to summit Everest, risk of death is very high, yet not a deterrent for those who need to check that box.

No, it won't. This excursion didn't use a known safe vehicle design nor did they operate by known safety protocols. They were warned by other experts who had done many excursions before. The submersible was made of carbon fiber, for instance, instead of steel. People pointed out the failure risks of carbon fiber (delamination under pressure), and neither the material nor the design had been fully tested. Heck, James Cameron at this point has spent more hours at the site of the Titanic than the captain of the Titanic did before he was killed.

Basically: They did it wrong.

The other submersible designs and safety protocols--tried and proven--will continue in use unabated.

RIP to them

I'm sorry they died and I'm sorry for their families. But I'm glad they didn't suffer as feared.

It seems it wasn't a matter of if the sub was going to fail, but really a matter of when. The builder and operator lied about how it was constructed and admitted he broke safety rules. Quite frankly I don't understand why people were willing to go inside of that death trap.

James Cameron also commented it was wrong to offer paying customers excursions on a submersible that had not been certified by any outside organization. I agree.

This is terribly sad.

My wife and I were just discussing how irresponsible it was for a father to take his 19 year old son on such a risky venture. How sad for that family.

But that takes all the fun out of DIY.

Been reading the daily telegraph comments section on this. It seems woke is to blame for this tragedy

 

[ozso]

The conclusion seems to be that everytime the sub experienced the extreme pressures of going so deep, its structural integrity weakened. So it imploded because it had become too weak to withstand that much pressure.
