stimpy Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Expert on the radio said that the carbon fibre shell would have been tested and OK to go to those depths however there isn't enough known about how it behaves over time. Not only the pressurising and depressurising but the effect of uv from sunlight, air or anything it's exposed to. Everyone uses titanium or steel shells because they know exactly how they behave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 2 hours ago, DA Baracus said: The lead fucker on this was just a cheap, greedy, selfish, moronic scumbag and it's cost him his life and that of the others. He cheapened out on various safety features of the sub just to save cash, despite having more money than he and multiple generations of any family he might have could ever spend. A billion pounds/dollars/euros/similar is an extraordinary sum of cash. There's an old saying that the difference between a million quid and a billion quid is about a billion quid. A billion is 1000 million. A million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. If you spent £5000 a day it would take you 500 years to spend £1B. You get the picture (see the image below). Yet this fucking cretinous moron refused what wouldn't even be pocket change to him for a few safety features just to save cash he would never have needed. It's unfathomable greed. It's a fucking illness at this point to be so fucking tight despite being so wealthy. The c**t actually sacked the lad who refused to rate the sub as safe. Why? Just so he could save some cash. The fucking audacity of such greed is mind blowing, as it is with all these billionaire scumbag c***s. If my own family had died I don't think I'd be this angry 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
