What ARE the US government safety standards for such craft? Link them for us.
Statement by Stockton Rush:
The commercial sub industry is “obscenely safe” he told Smithsonian, “
because they have all these regulations. But it also hasn’t innovated or grown — because they have all these regulations.” Even within OceanGate,
warnings from employees about
safety appear to have been ignored or disregarded.
David Lochridge, OceanGate’s former director of marine operations, said in a court filing that he was wrongfully terminated in 2018 for raising concerns about the
safety and testing of the Titan. The case was settled out of court, and the terms weren’t disclosed.
Another former employee, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, echoed Lochridge’s concerns. That employee said that as
contractors and employees raised red flags, Rush became defensive and dodged questions in staff meetings.
“At some point, safety just is pure waste,” Stockton
told journalist David Pogue in an interview last year. “I mean, if you just want to be safe, don’t get out of bed. Don’t get in your car. Don’t do anything.” In another interview, Stockton boasted that he’d “broken some rules” in his career.
Stockton Rush said the pressure vessel had been built in coordination with Boeing, NASA and the University of Washington. As such the ISO AS/EN 9120 applies.
Only a nitwit like you - would claim that the US government doesn't have safety standards and regulations pertaining to transport crafts - and granting a license for a company that provides underwater tourism in submersibles, without conducting
regular checks. That the Biden administration failed miserably in this case - is obvious and undeniable.
And these checks are put in place and are under
the responsibility - by the
respective government agency (that
approves/grants the business license) - in order to detect, and avoid safety regulations being circumvented by people like Rush.- you moron.
According to the lawsuit, the submersible was designed to reach depths of 4,000 meters, but Lochridge said the passenger viewpoint (window) was only
certified for depths of up to 1,300 metres. and in the suit he alleged OceanGate would not pay the manufacturer to build a viewpoint cleared for 4,000 meters.

The book also addresses concerns about small two- or three passenger submarines that do not now fall under the
Coast Guard's safety purview.

Therefore your dislikes and statements - only proof your ignorance and the fact that you don't know anything in this matter.
