New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate’s submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey. The CEO, Stockton Rush, bought discounted carbon fiber past its shelf life from Boeing, which experts say is a terrible choice for a deep-sea vessel. This likely played a role in the submersible’s tragic demise.

    Isn’t that pretty much what their waiver form said? That it was an experimental vessel, that it wasn’t certified by any agency, that passengers were joining the trip at their own risk, and that risks included the risk of death?
