Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Can anyone explain why they would bother?

While it's obvious that it failed because they ignored safety regulations and certifications that are in place for a reason, it is still important to prove with physical evidence so they know 100% without a doubt. This would officially serve as a warning to other egotistic innovator wannabes who want to cut corners.

To try and prevent something similar in the future.

I think some of it is to fully understand the failure mechanism.

Morbid curiosity

While it's pretty painfully obvious lesson being make your sub have standard safety equipment and don't use proven terrible ideas when making well tbh anything it's while a formality to investigate the wreck of the possible crime it's a formality needed to see who is at fault like yea it's likely that this sub imploded due to it's many flaws there is the off chance that maybe it imploded because of something that any sub would struggle with it's best for society to have a unbiased view that doesn't jump to conclusions when judging even the dumbest of morons like Stockton rush

yeah, does seem a bit excessive. unless the goal was to retrieve like a black box for info, there is an entire ship down there, hardly seems like leaving one small tube makes a difference

I wonder if there is a black box to be found, after all the sub was build cutting as many corners as they could get away with
