    "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."
