Probably happened when they lost contact with them.

"Under Pressure" by David Bowie and Queen comes to mind.

That's in poor taste.

"Got me Under Pressure", by ZZTop is more better.

Or " The Pressure is On", by Hank Jr.
Trumps them all

Was told the sub was made on a low budget. The glass was rated for 4000 lbs psi but it's 12000 lbs psi on the bottom.

Yep, 2.5 miles down is pretty low.

Didn't the company that made that hunk of junk ever send one down un-maned for a test run?Sad for the families.Guess I would rather implode than go wacky for days waiting to run out of air.

You really had to be dumb to pay250k and take a ride to the bottom of the sea in a toy that had safety issue.

Apparently it’s been down before. That may have been the problem. Never stress checked and re commissioned after a dive……and the port window thing.
If I was a billionaire, I’d have wanted it tested to the regular standard that the experts use. 1/4 mill or 2 mill a ride, doesn’t really matter if you got that much dough.
Roll the dice eh?

This sub had made at least 3 previous dives, the first being in July 2021.

Anyone else gear about how the company owner fired the guy who kept telling him it wasn't rated for going down that deep ? Or how he said he wasn't interested having old white guys working for him ( referring to how most companies like his employ retired submariner's)

O and also how having a umbilical/safety line was cut from production as a cost saving measure ?

How much does 2.5 MILES of cable of a sufficient diameter/ strength weigh?
Add drag from current?
