Yes. This is true. I wasn’t thinking when specific warnings are issued and people just ignore them.
Sorry. Hard for me to think about shit I won’t personally do. A warning is there for a reason. I was just thinking of individual activities as a whole.
In the case of scuba diving, the "industry" is highly regulated, in fact by the industry itself. In order to go on a scuba dive (with master divers) or rent air tanks, you have to take training and pass a test.
Recreational divers are supervised by dive masters on all dives.
Canada being the closest country from the wreck it falls on us to investigate through the TSB but with an American company involved and a submarine made in the US their TSB will most likely be involved
Rush was a Republican donor....I tumbled on that looking him up
Spin this one...
But seriously what does woke or left or democrat or right or close minded would have anything to do with what happened or what he deserved. He might have deserved his faith because of the lack of inspections and testing of his submarine.

There is apparently a name for this kind of activity- it’s called Adventure Tourism. For the most part, it seems to be unregulated. This is a short vid that describes this industry:

This has to be a joke.

Don't knock the Playstation controller. It's being widely adopted throughout the US military, for example. Why? Millions of young people arrive mostly pre trained in its usage having the benefit of thousands of hours of practice while playing games.

OK, so my 10-year-old kid could board an advanced U.S. Navy submarine and operate the periscope? That seems to be the pretty cool assumption based on the

I was wondering about that, yet the vessel that lowered the sub did not have sonar ?
I suspect other sonar will come forward knowing what they know now and state we heard it to but did not know what it was
I agree with comments about rich people, like they cannot give their monies to a deserving charity? THAT IS CALLED GIVING BACK OUT OF GRATITUDE. Instead they
go on some stupid adventeur they can brag and build up their ego.

I find it comical that some on this thread are criticizing the victims on how they should have spent their money in a "better way." Just a reminder that we're on a board where guys are spending hundreds of dollars an hour on SP's. Then there are those that brag that they suposedly spending thousands a month on escorts.
IMO, spending money on escorts, diving to the wreck, adventure travel, etc are all the same thing for the same reason. Just because we can and it's a thrill. The only difference is the amount of money involved.

Agreed. Just remember that the ones claiming he should've spent their money in a "better way", have NO money to spend in a better way or if they did have the money, they wouldn't spend it in the "better way".

You don't need to be an expert in material science and finite elements to know that composite carbon fiber is a questionable material for compression strength.
I could not imagine that this material was used for a submersible. That is why I initially doubted the implosion theory.

We all have something to learn from this story."

If you have money to spend on escorts then you have more disposable income that the average person. Maybe not enough to cure world hunger or clean up the oceans, but can certainly put to other uses.
My fucking god, this asshole is stupid.
Betcha the DOJ are watching this video right now and prepping a manslaughter 2 prosecution against this vile dickhead as soon as he gets back to the States. He gonna be doin some big ass Pen time. Plus the wrongful death suits.
