I’ve been following the USCG hearings that are being held now. You can follow them live on YouTube. They give some really interesting insights into this whole affair. It’s much, much worse than just the fabled Logitech controller.

There were voids, delaminating and literal holes in the carbon fiber hull, it was sprayed with truckbed liner and at one time, a CO scrubber was made by using a Home Depot plastic container and a PC fan… They also rigged a buoyancy device with basically a vacuum cleaner bag and rope. It was a complete death trap through and through.

You’ll be shocked that Stockton Rush would risk his life like that to dive with it, much less have the audacity to take paying others with him.
