there is no real financial incentive for manned craft to go to that depth when ROVs are not only safer but cheaper for the tasks that are needed by military. oil and gas companies. You have to be either a gov't or rich individual to form a outfit like Victor Vescavo did for manned expeditions. Its often scientific research that this done for or just pure exploration which are a noted niche operation.

they also refused to leave the sinking ship and attacked the coast guard that was trying to rescue them.

@solareclipsetimer real deep diving submersibles have rovs along to assist in the operation. they can even help the submersible if it gets entangled in the rigging (a well documented risk in certain shipwrecks such as the Titanic) or cannot rise for some reason. It wouldn't have helped the Titan but the fact Rush didn't care about getting some to help out with known dangers shows how careless he was

@solareclipsetimer he boasted about selling 30 Titans and already having cyclops 3 and 4 models in production by 2023 in an article I found dating back to 2020. the entire business model was a failure from conception.

@solareclipsetimer Composites World has several articles dating before the tragedy that are just fluff pieces for better lack of a word. Two very interesting ones you should look up. Oceangate to build two new deep sea submersibles. Composite Submersibles Under Pressure in deep deep waters. The second dates from 2017

@solareclipsetimer damn yt deleted my comment. Composites World is the source you should look at. Several articles were for all intents boasting about Oceangate prior to the final dive

@solareclipsetimer the warning were meant to go off during a dive. not be recorded data to examine later. since it didn't warn him in real time the readings must have been faulty rather then be a poorly designed system that everyone else said was the equivalent of an airbag deployed signal light. you can see the airbag is already deployed. you want an airbag system readiness indicator.

they weren't escaping war and poverty. they were going to a richer country to get welfare. the majority were from Pakistan, Egypt and had paid the equivalent of five years of the wages they got in the rural villages they lived in. You know nothing of why there are millions of military aged males going to western countries.
