minus-squareDaftydux@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up70·edit-21 month agoTragic? Try “predictable” Please watch the Netflix documentary if you havent. The sub was never meant for that depth and they knew it. They could literally hear the carbon fibers snapping every dive. They had to retire an entire chassis because it failed at similar depths. Nahh, the tragedy is rich people think they are better than physics itself.

minus-squareDaftydux@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoNo, it was entirely the depth. They tested it in the lab and saw many failures but never changed the design.

Tragic?
