That titanic submarine. This article goes into the details. A fascinating read but the owner of that company  had all the warnings but knew better or gambled.

It’s an interesting read.  It does seem that this tragedy was entirely predictable and should have been avoidable but for a failure in regulation and a maverick entrepreneur designer who just wouldn’t be told.  Very sad for the innocent people who had their lives violently snuffed out in a millisecond.

As noted in an <coughs> in-depth discussion in P&OBI back in June.

Not everyone reads P&OBI.  It is a frightening part of the forum, but it does dampen remove any desire to visit the wreck site.
