New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate’s submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey. The CEO, Stockton Rush, bought discounted carbon fiber past its shelf life from Boeing, which experts say is a terrible choice for a deep-sea vessel. This likely played a role in the submersible’s tragic demise.

    The search was carried out by Coast Guard and Navy personnel, who would be getting paid regardless.

    Bro the major cost in moving a host of ships is not the hourly wage of the sailors lol

      They do drills and such when they’re not doing rescues. The ships move regardless.
