Hey my life is on the line here, let's cut more corners.
I am glad they are dead. If they had succeeded some other people would die trying the same stunt with one of these botched submarines. At least this time it happened to the right people.
It could have been the port hole that was only rated at half the depth they were taking it. When the company that manufactured it found out how deep they were going they wanted to make a new one that was safe for that depth and the CEO said no.
Would’ve meant a much larger vessel to have the same already cramped space inside. Most of the bulk in a traditional DSV is actually flotation to counteract the weight of the little passenger sphere.
how much more expensive would a titanium cylinder have been, really
The Deepsea Challenger that took James Cameron to the bottom of the Marianas Trench cost $10 million
The titan costed $350k
They were cutting costs lol
