I’m (almost) always happy to talk ocean, but the flood of media requests I’m getting to talk about the ocean near this lost sub is icky. It was probably avoidable, & there are almost certainly 5 dead people in a sub that won’t be retrieved for weeks. This is not a bandwagon that should be jumped on.

I don’t know anything much about this missing submersible, but from the outside it certainly looks as though it was missing a lot of very basic safety features: multiple acoustic beacons unconnected to the main power supply, an automatic satellite beacon that pings when it surfaces, surface lights, spare communication methods, the ability to open it from the inside… no wonder it wasn’t certified. They appear to have been convinced it couldn’t fail. Just like the Titanic engineers.
