This one is actually the most mind-blowing to me if true.
That and the fact that it actually made it to Titanic a few times and back without catastrophic failure.

I pitty the other four passengers, Rush got what asked for, and rightly so.
There is nothing gleeful in any of my comments so, quite the opposite, I am really sad. Amd getting the facts straight requires a proper investigation, one that is happening. What I did was a superficial "FMEA" based on whatever, incomplete, information was publicly available at the time. Some is wrong, some is missing and some comes straight from OceanGate / Rush himself.
i've no idea what i'm talking about but my guess would be that they were sort of aware of the design shortcomings and then just tried to compensate by overengineering the static components. and then they just pretended the material wouldn't progressively deteriorate towards the inevitable demise.
