i'm as shocked as anyone that this contraption even survived a few deep dives, but stockton mush was apparently going to keep diving it until failure, no matter how long it took!

the shearing of the titanium rings doesn't support that tho. the hull may have been strong enough for a while but oceangate's own data showed it was degraded over time

and virtually anyone who has ever shopped for bike parts knows that once carbon fiber has been sufficiently stressed, it can fail with no warning, even after fairly careful inspection. many a cyclist has wisely ditched a seemingly undamaged carbon fiber wheel or seatpost after taking a good smack, and knowing the critical piece could be fatally compromised

@Metal-Nine11 the original proposal was for a 10 inch hull thickness, but to go to twice the depth. stockton apparently decided half the thickness for half the depth was therefore sound, even though he obviously wasn't going to halve the diameter of the vessel. and he may have started with that doubled number in order to disguise his motives of diving to titanic.

@solareclipsetimer yes... despite its shortcomings, their vaunted early detection system actually worked rather well, and stockton all but ignored the data!

@Metal-Nine11 IMO, not suicidal, just deeply narcissistic

for me it's about the general public finally learning what narcissists like stockton really are, and how destructive they can be
