Film director James Cameron has expertise in designing and testing these submersibles, and he has many criticisms of the design of the sub that imploded, and of the hubris of the CEO who ignored repeated safety warnings from the diving community. He also mentions that the sub seems to have been attempting to resurface when it imploded, suggesting that they were aware the hull was starting to fail.

It's pretty ironic* that you wrote multiple clear, detailed paragraphs explaining why you think you're unintelligent, demonstrating analysis and critical thinking skills as you elucidate your point. You even followed one of the Socratic models. You also undermined your own argument. You're not stupid, you have a low opinion of yourself and I'd bet cash money you're neurodivergent and got fuck all help for it in your entire youth. Not that I'm qualified to armchair diagnose you, but I really think I can tell.

*I know this isn't what irony means
