Film director James Cameron has expertise in designing and testing these submersibles, and he has many criticisms of the design of the sub that imploded, and of the hubris of the CEO who ignored repeated safety warnings from the diving community. He also mentions that the sub seems to have been attempting to resurface when it imploded, suggesting that they were aware the hull was starting to fail.

    I feel bad for the 19 year old boy. He didn’t want to go and was very nervous, but it was Father’s Day and he wanted to please his dad.

      yeah that’s the most tragic part of the story in my mind. I hope it was quick and painless for his sake.
