[quote=Anonymous]They died on Sunday when they imploded short of reaching Titanic. Maybe the monitoring system worked, maybe not - doesn’t matter because it was only designed to give a millisecond warning before hull failure and at that depth there was no way to survive a hull failure. Their deaths were very fast and painless - we have all agonized more over their fate than they had time to.

People keep posting about the liability of OceanGate - does anybody really think that company has any substantive value? Given how the CEO cut corners on basic safety for this type of endeavor, what are the chances he had any decent liability insurance coverage? What company would even write liability insurance for such a high risk endeavor? Nobody’s going to get anything from OceanGate - I just hope the folks on the mothership have the means to get home. They probably won’t even get a final paycheck.

The only thing that will happen next is that the full picture of Stockton Rush’s insane hubris will come to light, as well as the enormity of the foolhardiness of the other passengers. [/quote]
