Tragic?

Try "predictable"

Please watch the Netflix documentary if you havent.

The sub was never meant for that depth and they knew it.

They could literally hear the carbon fibers snapping every dive.

They had to retire an entire chassis because it failed at similar depths.

Nahh, the tragedy is rich people think they are better than physics itself.

it was DIY from start o finish on the craft. as opposed to spending 5-10mil on a spherical TITATANIUM sub. instead he used carbon fiber which was defective airplane parts.

How many atmospheres can this ship withstand?

Well it's a ~~spaceship~~ airplane, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one."
