"Our submarine, that exploded, was actually very safe. Anyone who says otherwise is a dumb dumb." 
"The world only had one foremost expert on using carbon fiber to go in the deep oceans and he's gone now," said Söhnlein, referring to Rush.
Hmm
The world had only one foremost expert on dipping your balls in fluoroantimonic acid and he's gone now.
trillions of times stronger than 100% sulfuric acid in terms of its protonating ability measured by Hammett function. It even protonates some hydrocarbons
Can't say he wasn't well acquainted with the failure of carbon fibre
The only thing you need to know about using carbon fiber to go in the deep oceans is "don't do it," which he clearly didn't
early aviation in shambles....
actually a bunch of deaths could have been avoided at the time if people weren't jealously guarding their "intellectual property", pilots were dying in crashes that were survivable in other contemporary designs
"Over the course of 15 years that [OceanGate's] probably employed like 200 and has dived dozens of people," Söhnlein told Insider. "And you're only hearing from four people."
we've dived dozens of people and only about 30% of them have died, which means we deserve respect
5 deaths out of “dozens” of people is a very high death rate!
Please, sir, please take a ride on my death-mobile sub, now with only 30% of an implosion rate, me family is starving.

I thought he was more of a slurry that was gobbled up by crabs?
from what I last read about it, the difference in pressure would've heated the inside of the sub to 7000+ C as the water flowed in, cavitation pressure is fuckin wild. Can recommend looking up pistol shrimp punches in slowmo, you can see the lil spark of plasma form inside the bubble they make (and that's a far smaller bubble far closer to the surface)
"The media's whole spin on how unsafe this was is based on Dave Lockridge [OceanGate's former director of marine operations], Will Kohnen from Marine Technology Society, Jim Cameron, who knows nothing about any of this stuff … and [submersible expert] Karl Stanley — four people," Söhnlein said.
Or maybe they're calling it unsafe based on the fact that it imploded like an aluminum can at the bottom of the ocean and instantly obliterated all five people on board? How much of an expert do you need to be to look at "tin can designed to go deep underwater catastrophically fails at what it was literally designed to do resulting in the deaths of everyone inside of it" and come to the conclusion that maybe it happened because it was poorly designed? To say nothing of the whistleblowers who revealed exactly this in the years leading up to it.
"The world only had one foremost expert on using carbon fiber to go in the deep oceans and he's gone now," said Söhnlein, referring to Rush.
lmao. Speaks for itself, really.
Also lol at the fact we're talking about this in "the dunk tank."
OceanGate co-founder Guillermo Söhnlein told Insider that a handful of people, including Cameron, have cast a negative shadow over Söhnlein's former company and its Titan submersible that imploded last month, killing all five people on board.
Amazing how this article and interview isn't a joke.
He added, "Common sense seems to indicate these must be the vocal minority because there are a lot of other people that aren't speaking up who disagree with those four."
Show
i can think of 5 people who had full support for the safety of the sub, but are currently unreachable so we should assume they continue to believe in the sub's safety.
four, there was a 19 year old who was forced to go by his father despite not wanting to
unless they drugged him like B.A. Baracus, he wasn't forced. he was just another heir willing to overlook his own instincts to please his billionaire father. he was an adult with agency.
human beings enter adulthood when they accept Marx as their lord and savior.
Blonde-hair blue-eyed person named something like Guillermo Söhnlein: my submersible, the Titan, yearns for structural stability.
You know what they say, those that travel in carbon-fiber submersibles shouldn't throw stones.
I can surmise that Cameron knows at least two things about the Titan sub :
- it was built shitty
- it imploded pulverizing everyone on board
They're gonna turn this into a "Feuding Rich Submarine Guy" thing. This is the new culture war.
Lmao are they not going to end the company? Is he defending this shit in the press because he thinks there's something salvageable and worth continuing?
You know I was just thinking about that. Are they going to change the name of the company? Are they going to actually follow some safety standards? Are they going to wait a few years for people to forget? I can't think of a game plan that could possibly lead to this company remaining salve.
Gotta be changing the name and continuing in some way. I can't think of anything else.
I think it's dumbbbbbbb though.
