According to Ross, six days before the Titan submarine imploded, the sub’s pilot and the company’s cofounder, Stockton Rush, crashed the vessel into a launch mechanism bulkhead while the vessel was attempting to resurface from dive 87. […] but Ross said he did not know if an inspection of the sub was carried out afterward.

How does every new detail about the excursion keep getting worse? Next week I’m going to learn they used Saran wrap for the windows.

The sub was totaled. Like you need to change a helmet after a crash even it it looks fine

i wonder if it would have made the trip without that crashing. not that it matters much, but wow. how insanely stupid!

It was always a matter of when, not if.

And the week after that, we'll find out that the sub didn't even go into the ocean. They crushed it in a car compactor.
