It seems like this submersible has some elements of MacGyvery jerry-rigged-ness.
You are putting construction pipes as ballast, Pogue said to Rush in an interview.
I dont know if I would use that description, Rush replied.
He added that the OceanGate worked with Boeing and Nasa on the pressure vessel.
Everything else can fail.
Your thrusters can go, your lights can go, youre still going to be safe.
A clip of Pogue reading the waiver has been viewed 9M times on Twitter.
Yall c’mon watch this.
Its a CBS story that aired a while back about that submarine that is now missing.
A later dive, with CBS cameras still following Titan, the submarine lost contact with its launch ship.
We were lost for two-and-a-half hours, said a passenger, who paid $250,000 for a ticket.
A third dive was successful and the submarine found the Titanic shipwreck.
