“Nothing abt the Titan is worthy of note. It was hastily & shoddily assembled w/untested materials & eschewed all accepted safety standards for profit. It's not the world's first submersible. It's nowhere close to the deepest diver. Let me tell you about the Deepsea Challenger.”
My favorite line in this explainer on the differences between the #Titan and the #DeepSeaChallenger is this:
“If one vertical thruster fails, you don't have a submersible that can rise, you get a fucking rotisserie.”
