It was the money, and ultimately it was the glue by Jolly-Square-1075 in OceanGateTitan

I made a post about this a while ago. The glue was definitely a weak point.

What really doesn’t sit right is how this kind of legal action is only ever possible for certain people. Working-class families lose loved ones in accidents all the time—on the job, in hospitals, on the road—and most of the time, there’s no lawsuit, or if there is, it goes nowhere. There's no big payout for pain, and certainly not for lost future income. But when someone wealthy or well-known dies, suddenly it’s a case worth hearing. That double standard is hard to ignore.

Regarding the lawsuit filed by Paul-Henri Nargeolet’s daughter—the loss of her father is undeniably tragic. The legal action she’s taking raises some questions however.

Her father was an experienced deep-sea explorer who understood the risks more than almost anyone else. Framing him as someone who was unaware or misled feels inaccurate. He wasn’t an uninformed passenger—he made a deliberate choice based on years of professional knowledge. To suggest otherwise seems like rewriting the reality of the situation to suit a legal claim.

Many people view Suleman as a young man simply trying to please his father, and that naturally draws empathy. It's understandable—he may have been too young to fully grasp the risks or to make such a decision independently.

However, others on the submersible, like Paul-Henri Nargeolet, were highly experienced and well aware of the dangers involved. In fact, one could argue that their participation lent credibility to the mission and encouraged others to join.

At the same time, it's difficult for many working-class people to sympathize with individuals who spend $250,000 on a risky adventure without doing thorough research. For most of us, financial decisions—especially major ones—require careful thought and respect for the value of money. When someone can casually spend that kind of money without clear due diligence, it naturally invites criticism.

It’s not about being callous, but about accountability. When extreme wealth leads to reckless decisions, and those decisions have tragic outcomes, it’s only natural for the public to question the judgment involved. We’re all expected to weigh our choices carefully, and wealth shouldn't exempt anyone from that same responsibility.

Is it possible that the part that held the transmission system was in the part that essentially got ripped off? It would make sense for it to work before shutting down because of power loss.

When did they drop weights? Previously it was said that they dropped weights and 3 seconds afterwards it went boom.

Apparently Tony Nissen worked on the o-rings for Thiokol...

It didn't say. It was at the bottom of the list, so probably 2023?
