Should OceanGate now be sued because of negligence?

 

[Zebra]

I think: Yes

 

[EvilCat Breath]

How were they negligent? The waivers signed will control. The ruling from the court should be death by misadventure. The end.

 

[Oddball]

You kidding?

I have a tremendous zest for adventure, and wouldn't have trusted that tin can anywhere below 300 ft.

 

[Zebra]

How were they negligent?

In quite a lot of ways.
I am sure, one will soon hear about it.

 

[Dekster]

Yes. They will be bankrupted by this. You can't hide behind a signed waiver for long when you are evaporating billionaires.

A person being interviewed had an excellent response to any criticism. As space tourism increases, so too will the certainty that sooner or later, deaths will occur. Space, just like a deep ocean situation, isn't safe no matter how careful you are.

Name them then.

Pretty difficult making a submersible that can hold five people and go 12,000 feet deep! Worse, it was shaped like a cylinder. Most bathys are spherical for good reason.

Exactly!

Zebra you claimed that there was negligence, what is the negligence?

If you don't know already, you won't believe anyhow.

Well, one thing I know is that the owner recorded a video saying he was against hiring the usual people for these kind of missions, which he described as 55 year old white ex-Navy jocks. That he wanted to hire more 25 year olds and that he could teach anyone to operate a sub.

I'm betting that a lot of people will wonder whether the crew did something wrong to cause this accident.

Pretty much all that was left of the thing that they could find was the frame the thing sat on and the tail plate that was on the end of the thing.

That suggests to me that the sub imploded at the center along the centerline and blew the tail plate free and clear.

Them fellers were long on dollars but short on sense.

The good that will come from this is that tragedies in tech hardware cause improvements.

The improvements already exist but if you don't use them then they may as well not exist.

 

[Moonglow]

These guys committed suicide not discovery.
