I did not expect this thing to actually be hauled to shore. Kind of thought they were just going to leave it. How much did it cost to pull that thing up?

Hopefully, examination of the wreckage will yield valuable information about the cause of the failure and help future designs of deep-sea submersibles.

We already know how to build submersibles. Engineers told the CEO that this submersible was not built to spec and not safe. He fired them.

Sure we do but there's always something to be learned from a failure. This sub was unique in it's design and while that design ultimately failed, the knowledge gained from the failure could potentially lead to an improved design that maintains some of the benefits such as low cost and high occupancy.

Normally I’d agree with you, but we already know that carbon fiber is weaker in compression than in tension and that you really shouldn’t attach it to titanium either, due to their differences in malleability.

I mean we have money for that. Not just for social services, cause that will set the wrong incentive /s
