Had the guy went down by himself or with financial backers only a few times (enough to pay off his costs/Oceangate) and THEN called it quits due to safety-issues......then he would be still-alive mad-genius in my mind.

At the end of the day his mistake wasn't the xbox controller or construction it was greed.
He wanted to be remembered as an innovator and I think he's deserving of that title as this event has made the ocean exploring field safer. He made a mistake. That is simply by not stress testing the hull multiple times. The 2nd thing is, if you can't test something, then you need to fall back on theory. He was told multiple times CF is a no go.

We will most likely not see another implosion death by deep sea diving for another 100 years thanks to Ocean Gate. This is in contrast to car deaths and crashes we see everyday where people don't seem to learn at all.

The average person is fkn retarded. Stockton Rush believed he was smarter than the above average person, which ended up being his downfall. In the end, Stockton Rush turned out to be a fkn retard as well.

Nah people are getting on him for using carbon-fiber but its degradation is 101. You see this in commercially available cars.

he shoulda thought of Oceangate like a pair of rubber kitchen-gloves. Sure you can use them for a while but then one day they break on you. Problem is if he didn't have the money for testing, he sure as Hell didn't have the money for replacement.

he said he wasn't even making money on the 250K dives as his costs were astronomical. Just getting the ship there to drop the submersible musta been expensive let alone the cost of the dive.

and I wouldn't be surprised if some tech guys figure out what he did wrong and try to improve upon it.

btw: you are right about carcels. always confounded how they think they are mogging others when driving is such a dangerous activity at almost any speed.

some billionaire was driving a vintage car a normal car rear-ended him and killed him and his son in a ball of fire. WTF billionaires of the world? be better!

Screw his hairline.

The only memorable thing about his life and death will be all the joke memes it spawns. Guy was a complete blowhard and got what he deserved. It's a shame about the ones he took out with him, especially the kid that didn't want to be there, but they should have known better than to embark on that ship of fools.

To be fair, normal people die in car accidents every day. A billionaire is a normal person with a ridiculous amount of money. You're right though, if one has Billions or hundreds of millions, you'd think one would be as cautious as possible. Gotta live a long time to enjoy that moolah

They do it to a-mog the other billionaires at the stone cutters lodge meeting.

"I say Theodore, have you been to outer space yet?"

"Yes Finklestein, I was there last week. What about you? Had tea on the bow of the Titanic lately?"

"Twice last month my friend. But poor little Sandeep here has never been to either."

Sandeep grabs his son and storms out, yelling at his driver "Brad, get the OceanGate people on the phone" as he jumps into his Bentley.

Imo I think Stockton did amazing things. He was able to go the Titanic which is almost like going to outer space on a very tight budget. You have to consider that even NASA had catastrophic accidents even with 10x the engineers and funding.

I just feel for the 19 year old. Evidently, he exercised common sense and expressed reluctance and terror at the prospect of this excursion. He had to follow his dad though. Probably got some talk about being brave. And here we are.

I'd agree if he didn't take 4 innocent people with him. If those texts of him cajoling others to join him are real, he even downplayed the dangers. Not cool. But definitely going to be progress made and lessons learned.

These people were all highly successful smart people (except the kid), if the game controller doesn't stop you, the toilet should, or their last two or three failed dives, or the chittiness of it as a whole.

I'll be honest, the reporting of this story felt the same as reporting at the beginning of COVID. Just a bunch of speculation and absurd conjecture.

Just finished watching Deep Star 6, and Leviathan is just beginning.

Some pokey nipples were the highlight of Deep Star 6, but even cheesed out movies from 1989 are 1000x better than the garbage woke $hit we have these days.
