[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]from what I can read we have:

-No safety redundancy
-No safety training for submarine problems
-No systems redundancy
-No backups for tracking
-No "Deadman's switch" that would surface the craft if something went wrong
-No way to track the vessel if the first system failed
-No way of testing hull integrity prior to each dive
-No way of knowing the number of dives each hull can take before it becomes unsafe to operate

It was a failure waiting to happen

I hope the crew is found and can be brought home alive. Can't imagine what their families are going through.[/quote]

At those depths, none of those things are of any use.  [/quote]

It would be enlightening to see a safety feature comparison between the Titan and the  other deep diving submersibles that have made the same trip.[/quote]

I would love this.  - One of the ignoramus PPs who doesn't understand why, e.g., you can't physically connect a submersible to a boat on the surface of the water.[/quote]
