The Titan submersible incident comes to mind. ESPECIALLY after viewing the released coastguard hearings.
I missed the coast guard hearing details. What came out?
Oh it was super interesting! Stories from experts strongly advising against design decisions but being ignored, colleagues and industry officials raising concerns, the utter failure of OSHA in protecting the wistleblowers, multiple red flags being ignored, the batshit insane list of failures during previous dives being ignored, the lack of safety culture, administrative office crew doubling as safety inspectors/dive operators/engineers while having no qualifications whatsoever for that job, the absolute lack of free speech to voice concerns/toxic positivity that was expected from everyone/repercussions against people that did try to speak up, the pressure put on potential mission specialists to continue their trip if they tried to back out, the extremely dubious "mission specialist" term used to describe passengers just to get out of insurance and liability, the long, long list of questionable design choices made by someone who had no proper experience, the cost cutting mentality, the "meh its good enough" mentality,...
The list goes on and on and on. Those hearings are worth watching with popcorn. I was hooked and watched them all, but of you have to pick some, choose those from david lochridge, tony nissen, renata rojas, karl stanley, bart kemper and bonnie carl.
The most entertaining part is the board asking seemingly 'stupid' or gullible questions and having the pro-oceangate witnesses digging their own grave trying to spin the answer in a positive light; while everybody already knows the real answer.

I mean, the CO scrubber was an Ikea plastic box with a CPU fan hooked to it. Literally.
Just absolutely mindboggling.

An absolute shit ton. I haven't had the chance to look at all of it, so someone else will have to give a TL;DR/DW
TL;DW it's entitled rich a-hole who is used to money getting him what he wants, doesn't understand money cannot buy intelligence, reason, and/or empathy. A critical lack of all 3 causes a severe case of "Human Paste-itis" on the ocean floor
Thanks!
