    Doom: Titan



    Reading up about it, it was very experimental.

    https://metro.co.uk/2023/06/22/debri...ories_home_top

    A ‘debris field’ has been discovered within the search area for the missing Titan submersible, the US Coast Guard has just announced.

    Experts within the unified command are evaluating the information.

    This is a breaking news story, more to follow soon… Check back shortly for further updates.

    Even if the debris isn't them, aren't they well past the oxygen supply?

    Any company/director that kills a billionaire is in for a bad time.

      Everyone on board signed a waiver, which I presume is legal in the US.

        Can't waiver negligence/fraud. If it's the US there is even more chance of death by lawyers as cost don't follow the event.

          The CEO was on record saying he didn't want 50 year old white men (ie. retired military experts) instead he put inexperienced diversity hires (ie. inexperienced women) in charge of areas like risk assessments.

              He also allegedly sacked an engineer who brought up safety concerns around testing.

                Not claustrophobic, done potholing before, but wouldn't fancy being stuck in some little pod for 2 or 3 hours.
