How about blaming Mendicino? He is the Public Safety Minister after all. He would have been able to save them all only ... he won't hear about the sub issue for another 3 weeks!
But they can wait, right? Right?
I wonder how many corners this asshat cut…

OceanGate CEO once said Titan sub's hull was made with carbon fiber from Boeing that was past its airplane shelf life, would-be passenger says
Arnie Weissmann said OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush told him he sourced the Titan's carbon fiber, which was too old "for use in airplanes," from Boeing.

Saw a cut out pic of the sub and there was a 25yr old antec Lansing computer speaker set in the floor of it. He cheaped out on literally EVERYTHING.I wonder how many corners this asshat cut…

I called that one. Apparently the kid didn't want to go but reluctantly did it as a bonding/Father's Day experience with the old man.

Yes; correct and should they perish, the families of the victims won't mind that I F'ed up
I bonded with my son on Father's day too. We shared a pitcher of beer and some snacks on an outdoor patio for about three hours in the afternoon and surprisingly, neither one of us imploded (well; his wallet did maybe a little?)
While we don't have enough information to determine what triggered the implosion, debris has been recovered. The porthole is missing from the front dome. Given that all the hardware is also gone, I suspect it was a casualty and not the cause Looking at it up close, it should be easy to determine if all of those bolts were stripped/broken due to outward pressure.
The ROV needs to get back to its day job. Grab what they can see and get back to work. I wouldn't be shocked if rich families launch additional ROV missions to see if anything else can come up (watches?).Cool, kinda surprised they are all ready pull up debris. Next round of meme could be fun.

Wonder if there is any interest to retrieve the bodies, or is this a rest at sea type situation, or probably the fishies ate them.
What bodies? Read about implosions. Cool and terrifying at the same time. Passenger compartment becomes a diesel engine with people as the fuel. Even if that didn't happen, 6000 psi would turn you into goo. If the carbon failed, squished like a steam roller. If the porthole failed, it is a 6000 psi pressure washer with a 20" diameter stream. Momentum alone would tear you apart.
EDIT:
There have been accidents where explosive decompression happened. It's a mess but you have some parts that you can identify and scoop up. That is a far different mechanism of injury than an implosion.

This is what happens under only a handful of psi compression….
NSFW … some blood and gore….it’s a pig…
Hope I’m not banned for this…
Ewww. And that was 135 psi slowly applied. Try 6000psi in a few milliseconds.
