It would be my worst nightmare to realize right before I died that I got my kid killed as well. I can't think of a worse thing to go through your head right before you die.

He probably didn’t even have time to realize.

As a parent I am so fucking livid at this. I have no words, barely any coherent thoughts. Just white hot rage at this. How could anyone not see?!

Especially after another guy pulled out of this trip due to the lack of safety precautions...

I don't think the passengers were aware of the window not being right. But, yeah, it's a macgyvered sub.

Actually he probably did. They said that they realized that the ship was failing and tried to blow their ballast. They were actively trying to surface the sub. James Cameron said that the ship was probably delaminating. They would have had plenty of time to realize their fate.

What Really Happens When A Sub Implodes

At extreme depths, an implosion isn't exactly a "blink and you'll miss it" type affair. It's much faster than that. A pressure vessel would go from fine and functional to a crushed piece of wreckage faster than your brain can comprehend what has happened. If you're unfortunate enough to be inside an imploding vessel, it will be over before you know what's going on.

Over before you know what's going on.

That's with a sub built of a solid material like steel, not a composite like carbon fiber.

A solid material would lose structural integrity all at once. The fiber could begin delamination before it failed. This would likely be pretty obvious and horrifying.

It sounds like the weights weren't found with the wreckage. Which would indicate they knew the hull was failing and were ascending in the hopes that the lowering pressure on the ascent would allow the failing hull to get them to the surface...

But yeah, once it went, it would have probably gone fast like described in your quote.
 
Apropos of nothing I watched a documentary on the Columbia shuttle disaster tonight, I think to kind of clear my head.

Whether you’re a billionaire hobbyist explorer or a scientist with seven masters degrees and a phd, the earth treats you the same in the end. It doesn’t matter what your intentions are, what your deeds are good or bad, far above the ground or far below it, the earth does not care. It’s this all encompassing indifference that will remind anyone willing to listen that we are very small, and we are very fragile, and we are all the same to the earth.

Don't disrespect or underestimate mother nature. Good rule of thumb.
 
Are they going to bring the pieces of the sub up, to investigate what happened? Or are they just kind of accepting the sub was inadequately built, it failed, they tried to ascend, and kablooey?

One of the people who died owned the salvage rights to Titanic. He has pulled up pieces of Titanic to put them in traveling shows and in places like the Titanic museum in the Luxor resort in Vegas. So I'm sure in a few years we will see displays featuring pieces of the sub.

So pieces will be pulled up for investigation reasons and pieces will be pulled up to profit off of this.

Yeah..... it makes me really emotional man. Realizing that you failed your child completely. It makes me sick. I felt like a total piece of shit when I accidentally pinched my daughter while putting on her bike helmet.

If that got to you, you're gonna be an absolute mess when she is a teenager.
 
SMH @ most of the news networks/outlets who are already playing the blame game.

Wow.

Damning.

Dude knew and did it anyway. His arrogance cost him his own life and the life of four others.

As long as you dont try to clear your head with a doc(I dunno if one exists) about the challenger spaceship. Spoiler, the explosion didn't kill them.
