It concerns me that we’re seeing this more and more in industry. Middle fingers to regulations because when you have enough money, it doesn’t matter.
In this case it wasn’t a middle finger to regulation, because no regulation existed. It was a middle finger to the science behind certifying the craft for ad-depth pressures. Additionally, these craft are used in international waters, where no regulatory body has jurisdiction.
Yeah. I think a lack of respect and understanding of science is a big problem these days. Sure it may not always get things right the first time, but science is always willing to update and adapt based on evidence.
It’s always been this way. Been watching a lot of true disaster videos lately and it genuinely disturbs me how easily and just how many of them could have been prevented by established rules and procedure present at the time.
Interesting, maybe I shouldn’t be surprised, humans haven’t changed much over the eons.
Any recommendations for true disaster videos? That sounds y up my alley.
The YouTube channels I’ve been liking lately include Plainly Difficult, Fascinating Horror, Brick Immorter, Disaster Breakdown, and last but not least Mentour Pilot!
Just seconding Plainly Difficult, and Mentour Pilot. Also, I think Kyle Hill’s series on nuclear “disasters” is pretty good. It’s called “Half-life Histories.”
It was questionable before June 18th. Now it’s unquestionably bad.
No qualified materials engineer was surprised by this.
I’m barely qualified to install a logitech joystick and I wasn’t all that surprised.
One could make the argument that they kind of 3d printed a pressure vessel. Using those terms makes it sound about as bad as it actually was.
Wow! This video really goes deep into the matter.
