  1. Watching a documentary on #Oceangate. #StocktonRush is like when you were a kid and wanted to make a submarine out of the box your parents' refrigerator came in.

  2. Musk whines about this sort of thing all the time, and his latest rockets keep exploding? Hmmmmm

  3. Does #Antifa or #Socialism have a means of giving people a posthumous #medal, I wonder? I suspect Stockton Rush would be high on their list:

    > “He definitely knew it was going to end like this [...]" Stanley said. “He was the last person to murder two #billionaires at once and have them pay for the privilege.”

    > “I think Stockton was designing a mousetrap for billionaires,” Stanley added.

  4. I asked #BingChat (creative) to write a nursery rhyme about a billionaire visiting the Titanic wreck in his submersible

    The chatbot generated something a bit dark

    Notice that I made no mention of #Titan, #StocktonRush, or #OceanGate and it doesn't look like it did a specific Internet search for the prompt

  5. " 'It freaked me out that he would want me to be head pilot, since my background is in accounting,' she told the New Yorker."

    #OceanGate's former finance director said she quit when #StocktonRush asked her to be the #TitanicSub|mersible's chief pilot after firing the original one for raising safety issues: report

  6. CW: Stockton Rush and his failed submersible

    This New Yorker report is both fascinating and appalling. As I read of Stockton Rush and how he operates, I was *strongly* reminded of Elon Musk, another rash disrupter.

  7. "Astronauten & Kosmonauten Nachrichten"

    "Hamish Harding (* 24. Juni 1964; † 18. Juni 2023 im Nordatlantik) war ein in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten ansässiger britischer Unternehmer und Pilot."

    "Harding starb bei der Implosion des Tauchbootes Titan auf dem Weg zum Wrack der Titanic. R.I.P."

  8. This was pretty chilling. I remember seeing David Pogue’s wide-eyed CBS Sunday Morning report, and now his recollections of that experience are sobering. What it's like inside the missing Titan submersible : NPR #Titan #oceangate #davidpogue #npr
