 Capt Hindsight and the submersible - smokie
Well more like a fleet of Captain Hindsightss, James Cameron being the latest.

Thanks God for experts though.

"Former Royal Navy submarine captain Ryan Ramsay has outlined some possible reasons for the implosion of OceanGate's Titan on its descent towards the wreck of the Titanic.

"...one of two things may have happened - the hatch with the 17 bolts used to seal the passengers in had failed, which caused the hull to collapse "because there's huge amounts of pressure, even halfway down.

"Another possibility is that there was a prior defect in the pressure hull itself, leading to the same result, he added."

I must admit to thinking what an awful way to go, if it hadn't imploded, just sitting, watching and waiting for your time.

It's awful for the relatives etc but it wouldn't have been on my bucket list, even if had known it was a thing, as I'm a scaredy cat where the sea is concerned.
