  1. James Cameron eviscerates the morons behind the #OceanGate sub disaster in a very polite and professional manner.

    He's an excellent presenter and explainer. I would have thought he was a scientific authority, rather than a film director, if I didn't know better.

  2. We're not going to bother getting our #submersible #safety-rated because “[t]he vast majority of marine (and aviation) accidents are a result of operator error, not mechanical failure,” is certainly a #novel take on things.

    Not perhaps one I would have run with, but they didn't ask me.

    For anyone wondering why safety and design is critical for submersibles, at 3800m depth the pressure is around 5400 psi. A #crack or #buckle converts you into a #pink #mist #instantly.
