Watch the Netflix doc on this. It’s quite the watch and the writing was on the wall for years!
Carbon Fiber just wasn’t cutting it, but he just kept going and going. He could hear the strands of the fiber breaking and just didn’t care. What kind of psychopath ignore that? Crazy shit.
Sadly I’ve seen this up close. Not only do CEO’s, not know, they don’t want to know. They really want the story that says, we are making money, and here’s how.
In this particular case, the CEO was made aware of the issue. I read another article some time back where someone else who worked there reported the issues to him and was ignored. This guy knew, he just… I don’t know, thought nothing bad could ever happen to him? He was practically an underwater Icarus.
Yup. Guy came up in aerospace, and while carbon fiber air frames have to deal with all sorts of freaky, weird stresses, simple compression is not one of them. The difference between sea level and basically outer space is exactly one atmosphere. The difference between sea level and the Titanic is… well… somewhat more.
I just heard a video of a test and you could hear the delamination. I really don’t get how everyone single person involved didn’t be like “yo homie, wtf‽” with every single bang! These people are supposed to be experts on this field. I have a maybe possible community college passing level of material engineering, and even I was like “what is wrong with everyone???”

A narcissistic one, with money, and no real understanding of the equipment. They are much more common than you would think in the c suite.

“How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?”
“Well, it’s a spaceship so I’d say anywhere between zero and one.”
That joke gets me every time.
Saving you a click- it’s 400 atmospheres.

A bad case of affluenza.
Lol, literally a fatal case. Wonder when chubby emu is going to cover it.
He just wanted a hug?
He wanted to go out with a bang?
He certainly made a splash, but he just couldn’t handle the pressure.
He definitely went out in a cloud of pink dust, that’s for sure.
Crime weekly just wrapped up the series. It’s also very good… and very long. 5/6 hours.
