Titanic tourist submersible goes missing with search under way
To put the water pressure at the Titanic (5,600psi) into perspective, high-performance industrial hydraulic systems used in factories and construction equipment like excavators can run at peak pressures of 4,500psi. At those pressures, one atmosphere (14.7psi) of pressure to allow humans to function without the bends is effectively a vacuum.
Stockton Rush reminds me another guy named Timothy Treadwell AKA, the Grizzly Man.
Timothy Treadwell, was a guy who became obsessed with bears.
He became this enviromnmental activist who made documentaries about bears alongside his girlfriend. The thing was that he thought he had this "special relationship" with these bears. He often got dangerously close to these bears, becoming way to trusting with them and playing with their cubs.
He got some notoriety for his work and guest appearances on talk shows.
From the way this guy talked about how and why he approached these bears. He had this retarded delusional of grandeur about having some sort of "special relationship" with the bears. Like he thought himself as some kind of "father" to them, even giving them individual names like they were his pets or something.
I feel like this mirrors Stockton Rush about how he had a delusion of grandeur that he was some "revolutionary inventor" who bending the rules and revolutionizing engineering thinking nothing would go wrong by ignoring required safety measures.
To add to it, Timothy Treadwell was warned by Park Rangers for not practicing basic safety measures like not installing an electric fence around his campsite, improperly storing his food, not having bear spray, etc.
Much like how Stockton Rush was warned several times about the design flaws of the submersible and ignored those warnings.
One day when Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend were camping at the park as they usually do, I think while they were sleeping. A bear approached their campsite and decided to eat Timothy Treadwell, he called for his girlfriend and after he died, the bear ate his girlfriend next.
All this was recorded, but apparently Treadwell's associates didn't want the recording released so the one on the internet is a recreation.
So just like Stockton Rush, he died because of his delusions of grandeur led them doing suicidally dangerous stunts and managed to convinced others to join them on their misadventures who ended up dying as a result too.
These two people had this certain personality profile, but they had some kind of charisma at the same time that managed to convince gullible people to join them. I guess that's what made them pretty dangerous to themselves and other people.
When you see someone like this trying to convince you to join them on their latest adventure.. best to skip it.
If I were a billionaire with retarded amounts of money, I'd create the most petty monument ever by erecting a life-sized statue of Stockton Rush at the Titan launch site (so in the middle of nowhere nevermind, that would be the port of St. John's in Newfoundland), with a plaque that reads something to the effect of: "RIP to the victims of Stockton Rush's mongoloid-tier hubris," and maybe list the names of the dead.
This is about on par with when American Airlines was using a fucking forklift to take engines off of a DC10 and putting the engines back in via eyeballing it, only to lead to hundreds dying later because they kept damaging the engine to pylon mounts. It’s this but that attitude applied to every single facet of the operation. What astounding retardation.
I'm glad the maintenance guys didn't lie about how they were taking off the engine because they were able to quickly find out that 8 other planes had pylons cracked in the exact same manner as Flight 191. And they also realized that having the stickshaker, pilot instrument panel, data recorder, and CVR being powered by only one of the engines instead of being redundant is idiotic. Oh, and the hydraulic system didn't have any stops along the lines so if the system was breached at any point, all the fluid would leak out and render the entire system useless. These safety measures are always written in blood and greedy assholes like Rush will try to kill you to save a buck.
This sort of attitude is just total nigger rigging that in any other industry (aviation, as Rush wanted to go to space and would have to go through aerospace) would’ve had him thrown out the door in no time. You don’t ever try to do this shit without implicitly knowing it’s wrong. What a disgusting retard for taking other lives down with him.
It shows how much he believed in the bullshit he was selling that he did all those massively retarded things and still went down there himself instead of only risking his peons. Completely moronic. How do you go down and hear a loud bang on the way back up and not check the thing out to make sure your carbon fiber wasn't deteriorating?
I can't imagine how freaked out the people (like that simpson's writer) who went on previous dives are. It just had enough and imploded on that one dive. So eerie.

Those guys were kind of vindicated after UPS 2976. There were still cracked/failed bearings even after using the correct procedure. The design is probably right on the edge of acceptable.

This was what occurred with UA 232 in 1989 the number 2 engine had a fan blade manufacturing defect. The engine blew up, and debris cut the hydraulic line, leaving the crew with only engine thrust on the remaining two engines to control the airplane. They almost managed to land it in Sioux City, but at the last minute, I think the right wing dipped and clipped the runway. 112 died 184 survived, including everyone in the cockpit. Because the hydraulics control the flaps, they had to approach at a higher speed. It was a miracle they even got it to the runway. The DC-10 was really a death trap it also had an issue with the design of the cargo door. It was electrically controlled and opened inward, I think, instead of being a plug door. When it failed at altitude from being improperly closed on the ground, it caused a massive decompression incident that killed a few hundred. Now, its trijet competition the Lockheed L-1011 she was a dream… well, except for not having an audible alert for the autopilot disconnect, which led to Eastern 401 ending up in the Everglades.
Here's my report: Stockton Rush was sexually attracted to composites which is why he built a pressure vessel out of composite materials despite very few professional manufacturers doing the same and none of them being designed and built for the sort of pressures deep-sea diving requires.
That said, no, the whole OceanGate broujaja was not a surprise. Stockton Rush was a dime-a-dozen Dunning Krueger Engineer. The moment he opened his mouth and started blathering about how Submersibles worked, in his arrogant opinion as an aeronautical engineer with $0.00 worth of Submersible or even Naval Engineering experience, this was doomed to happen.
At that pressure, the diesel effect occurs. They momentarily ignited in an explosion and then imploded.
What was hilarious to me was how Oceangate was hemorrhaging money, but they couldn't increase the number of paying customers per ride along because if they did, the submersible would be required to have inspections for safety.
There's an aviation saying that safety rules are written in blood. Oceangate was like if an airline operated some falling apart shitty homemade planes and said "yeah its safe because the guy who built them only had 3 beers first!"
Let this be a lesson to you that in Engineering, that guy is usually right to be anal retentive. It may not appear so immediately, but down the line he's gonna be laughing at you when the fuckup comes 'round the mountain.
