loads of wicked smaht people after the fact. funny that. how about raising the alarm before he killed people ?
Like the friend who warned him the hull seemed fragile and advised him to do more testing before allowing passengers onboard, only to be told to "keep your opinions to yourself"? Or the engineers who warned not to use carbon fibre and titanium but whose "rule" he was proud to ignore, or his executive who warned him about the implosion risk and demanded regular tests for wear and who sued him after being fired for it, or the three dozen experts who signed an open letter to him warning his sub was unsafe?
He had no shortage of warnings, but seems to have made it a point of pride to ignore them.
