Suppose it depends when it happened. But probably more likely it imploded days ago rather than only today or yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t get my head around folk throwing hundreds of thousands of pounds at someone who refused rigorous testing of something he’d built to do something really dangerous.

Given that we're in the age of wealthy, 'maverick' tech bro worship, it's maybe not that surprising. Perhaps this is a bit of an Emperor's New Clothes moment.

The sub looks like a toy, it doesn’t look as though it could withstand all of that pressure to me, but I don’t know much about mini subs. I’m curious to know if you have to have a license and safety certificate to operate tours to the Titanic, in fact I didn’t know that they were allowed. I was all for exploring the Titanic when it was first found a number of years ago to see if they could find out more to what happened on the fateful day. Now as I’ve already said in one post the Titanic and all of those poor souls who died on it should allowed to rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 It's international waters, they can likely do as they please. The sub wasn't certified by any nation or international body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melthebell Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 It wasn't safety certified as it was "too experimental" apparently. I think now there needs to be more scrutiny on submarine companies like these, more safety checks and licensing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
