    Every new detail I learn about the engineering of the Titan submersible takes me to a yet more profound depth of claustrophobia I did not know was possible.

      I’m amazed that the local military is still mulling over the investigation to recommend criminal charges. Seems open and shut to me. Criminal negligence at least, multiple homicide well within reason. People were even warning him not to put people in an untested carbon fiber submarine before it’s journey resulted in failure.

      What engineering? Every trained engineer he hired said “this is a terrible idea” and he fired them thinking he was smarter.

      He had an 18 and 19 year old kids as engineers on his staff that were just first year students.
