There’s a lot about OceanGate that confuses and alarms me but the thing on my mind this afternoon is why there isn’t any way for the people inside to get out without an external crew. That just seems insane—all those ways to theoretically ensure the Titan makes it to the surface in case of emergency but then you just bob there, oxygen running out, too bad? (And the submersible is white?! Not neon orange?? I hate everything about this.)
Could they have designed it in, yes. But when you’re trying to be that cheap, a Logitech controller shit from camping world and old construction equipement scream being cheap, it’s much cheaper to have it sealed from the outside.
