Knowing some of the folks who design those submarines... It's kinda like what do you call the guy to graduate last in medical school? Doctor...At least my man went down with the ship. You gotta figure if he thought it was unsafe he wouldn't have been on it, maybe just not very smart though.
I'm not going two miles down in the ocean even in something that has US Navy painted on the side.
The one thing I thought of right away is how does the carbon fiber composite material react to repeated pressurization cycles without cracking... Carbon fiber is strong, but there are so many points of failure in a material that is layers of weaved together fibers and glue (simplified, yes).Understood but the CEO did cut corners on validation testing from what I’ve been reading. It’s a very unfortunate situation. There were no real sea trials, yeah some pressure testing. No real world testing as I can ascertain. I find it rather unbelievable the beta test was with passengers. Sometimes ego gets in the way of decision makers, it’s a shame…
