Paranoid Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Guillermo Söhnlein, a co-founder of OceanGate, has rejected some of the criticisms directed at the company over safety and certification. Söhnlein left the company 10 years ago but still retains a minority stake. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme . . . Söhnlein said it had been a "tragic loss for the ocean exploration community" but anyone who operates in the deep ocean "knows the risk of operating under such pressure and that at any given moment... you run the risk of this kind of implosion". - - - - - Clearly a line of BS as both Cameron and Ballard have stated that this is the last thing you worry about on a dive. In fact Ballard said that there has never been such an incident since these vehicles began operations in the 60s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot, due to the reason they perished. Paying quarter-of-a-million quid to do what? Gawp at a wreck through a windae’? I am genuinely sorry that people died, but it’s very much a ‘nae luck’ vibe I’m detecting overall on the good ship P&B* *Thoroughly certified to a depth of 2 feet after Div’s maintenance on Monday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 The mass media hysteria continues but this "intrepid explorers" stuff can get in the, erm, can be stopped right now. As far as I know it wasn't a research trip or information gathering, just something that could be done due to them being so rich. It's not as if they crossed the Andes by frog. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
