#metoo. Climate vulnerability is one thing they’ve got in common tho for people who expect to be around 30+ years from now.


What on earth is "climate vunerability?"
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength

Access to water would be one example you might actually acknowledge.

Bet none of those paying guest sub passengers knew a former employee had sued about weakening material stress due from repeated compression and decompression. It was settled out of court

Seems like there would be an emergency mechanism to send them slowly back to the surface if they had time to react whether they returned conscious or not.


My suspicion is that it broke apart under all of the pressure and that they were all dead with 30 seconds or so.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

What are the odds it was some angry Orcas that took out that sub?

I think they could have also done something stupid, like taken the sub under something and gotten stuck. Maybe even a maneuver they had done before several times and were over confident in, and got hung up this time. Isn’t like you can send divers out to free the thing.

I'm thinking an electrical issue related to communication capability.

Like running into a rock, etc.
