Addendum to my statement, turns out the CEO was onboard, so there goes a bunch of lawsuit attempts.
You should try mocking yourself more often.
I do, it makes me laugh.

An implosion at that depth would have been just a pop. The energy would have probably turned them into hamburger and cooked them in a few milliseconds without the mess of an explosion.
seems unjust given the cargo
Doesn't that hurt your ribs?
they took our jerbs!
hey look at it this way. a bunch of undeserving rich brats just got their inheritance a tad earlier than expected
“At that depth, you could have a leak that’s not much bigger than a diameter of one of your hairs and you would be dead within a fraction of a second,” said Captain McLaren, a nuclear attack submarine commander. “They really wouldn’t have even known they would have died, they would have been dead before they knew it.”
Submersible Expert Raised Safety Concerns After 2019 Trip on Titan
After hearing a loud cracking sound during the dive, the expert, Karl Stanley, emailed OceanGate’s C.E.O., Stockton Rush, to urge him to hold off on future trips.
I'm not sure anyone is totally clear on the depth at which the implosion occurred, but apparently they lost contact after being in the water for an hour and 45 minutes, so safe to say pretty fucking deep.
Also fun to note that the experts are saying basically the same thing some monkies have been saying for years: Bonding carbon fiber to metal is a bad idea.
I wouldn't say bonding metal and composites is a bad idea, However you have to have a very good understanding of both your application, and how well that bonded joint is going to perform. Clearly not the case here.“At that depth, you could have a leak that’s not much bigger than a diameter of one of your hairs and you would be dead within a fraction of a second,” said Captain McLaren, a nuclear attack submarine commander. “They really wouldn’t have even known they would have died, they would have been dead before they knew it.”

When you are unsure,play it safe. Back when we didn't have as good of an understanding, and less accurate analytical techniques a lot of things failed, and a lot things got way over built. Planes like the DC-3 and B-52 will fly for a century. Modern planes tend to last right about their designed lifecycle before fatigue takes them out.
I heard an interview with some deep sea oceanic expert guy. I'll paraphrase but the interviewer asked "So, does this mean we should be hitting the brakes and rolling WAY back on exploration?" and the expert replies "no not at all, we know how to do this safely, and there are many subs operating every day. The industry and science is fine, these guys just didn't care to operate safely."
Coincidentally, my brother is going to DC early next week to discuss subermisible safety with the US government.
He said pretty much the same thing, the science is well understood but these guys flouted it anyway. Can't help those who don't want help.
Goddam - that's impressive. 
Perhaps I misremember, but I swear I saw some statements by the now deceased CEO that went something along the lines of "safety shmafety" and that basically everyone else worried too much.
That fucking moron literally bolted a laptop viewscreen into the the shitty titanium bonded to discount carbon from boeing's expired weave heap walls of the vessel.
But anyway, he's dead now because of his ego, and there's a lesson to be learned along the lines of the assumption that everyone with lots of money is sMrT that no one will learn.
A submarine expert tried to warn OceanGate’s CEO Stockton Rush his sub was flawed.
In 2019, after taking a trip on the ill-fated OceanGate Titan, submersible expert Karl Stanley said he heard an increasingly loud cracking sound over the two-hour trip down, according to The New York Times. He tried to warn Rush: Stanley said experts confronted Rush about the safety of his sub...
So they even had warning. Cracking carbon fiber sounds at depth years ago. Damn.
apparently there was a fiberglass inner layer, too, so that wasn’t bolted to the outer carbon hull directly.
Is this the sub thread now? My dad used to design critical systems for navy subs. He said that sub was designed by the C team at best

You know Batman wasn't a billionaire, he was the child of a billionaire fortune,
Maybe a batman will come forth and battle rich men will stupid ideas.
Well one can dream.

cool
that moron still died as a result of his arrogance
even me, a very non deep sea, high pressure expert would look into things like this
and I aint puttin screws in even the secondary layer
know why? Because Im the kind of guy who is alive still
the stories about remains being found....
presumed dead...
im thinking....
all five are probably at the consistency of oregano across the ocean floor....
i might be wrong...
soft tissue probably, bones are much tougher
That is just for corrosion resistance. Metal and carbon make for a nice battery when touching.
but the CEO did hiz own resurch
as I like to note, the CEO's volume is now greatly reduced
Meat is fairly incompressible. His surface area to mass ratio however went up a few orders of magnitude.
