Bob Jones Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 This story once again mirrors what I said about Terry Pegula in the hot topic thread on the main board, about him re-upping Beane & McD when there was absolutely no need to do so, and that is that even though these guys (on this sub) were very wealthy, they weren't too smart. The LACK of proper QC/testing on the initial build, and especially, the ongoing maintenence & testing, of that vessel was stunning. Seems pretty clear that repeated trips down below weakened the hull/whole thing, and that caused it to go kablooey. A very sad situation, and totally preventable (with proper ongoing maintenance & testing/QC). Of course the latter costs money, and I'm not even sure the company had/has the proper hi tech tools needed to determine the structural integrity of the hull and other components. Titanic movie guy James Cameron says the same thing, but anybody breathing air with an IQ above 50 will come to the same conclusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That an alien craft was also near the Titanic Kim Kardashian blew up the sub with a fart They faked their death to move to Mexico and marry Thai hookers The US government banned putting really small inferior napkins and knives in fork/spoon/knife/napkins. Anything is possible but this story getting so much traction and the knowledge it blew up a few days ago being hidden, I'm sure there is something hidden we don't know about, Shirley. I don't watch or pay attention to the news/media/world so I dunno what's going on. I just binge Rick & Morty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the media who stirred up a frenzy on this and got everyone invested for clicks. Drug up anyone who ever watched James Cameron Titanic, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the CEO referred to the company internally as "SpaceX of the sea". Their whole business model was to sell tickets to the wealthy (nothing wrong with that, of course), and provide these boutique experiences. Initially the price was $100k +/-, where the actually number represented -- get this -- the original price of a first class ticket on the Titanic, but was adjusted for inflation. You just can't make this stuff up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still a douche because he's not an expert on this subject despite being touted as one. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
