 [Hot Air] This developing story is rapidly veering from background noise for a truly horrific accident to "no way that’s possible" to "YGTBFKM, that’s damn near criminal negligence." All while a 5 people’s lives still — if they’re alive — hang by a thread, and the merest one at that.
My post yesterday addressed truly concerning things with the OceanGate operation that were immediately apparent to me not as a submariner (I only play one at HotAir), but as an individual well versed in safety and safe maintenance practices, mixed with almost your average Joe’s allotment of common sense.
There were enough red flags for a CCCP parade in Beijing and it didn’t take a Coastie to see them. The question it raised was, was it negligence, ignorance or corporate mentality?
This morning, what I consider to be a pretty telling interview with OceanGate’s CEO Stockton Rush — who is, himself, trapped in that ad hoc submersible at this moment — surfaced.
I mean WOW.
