[PSUBS-MAILIST] Titan submersible missing at Titanic site

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank, I am with you on trying to stop people killinging themselves. Years ago we had a post about a Chinese oil barrel submarine that the builder said could go to 30ft. We all said 15ft at the most. I contacted the reporter who did the article & conveyed our concerns plus gave a link to psubs group builds page to show our expertise. The reporter said he was concerned when he saw the sub & told the builder of our concerns & showed him our web site. The Chinese builder was duly impressed and took heed.In this case Stockton Rush was pretty capable, and although people were concerned about the carbon fibre hull they probably didnt know the full details of his research analysis & testing, and possibly weren't 100% sure it would fail. Maybe if he had gone a couple of inches thicker there wouldnt have been a problem.Alan
