    In email messages seen by the BBC, Mr Rush had previously dismissed safety worries from one expert, saying he was “tired of industry players who try to use a safety argument to stop innovation”.

    Seems as though he thought he was fighting against the stifling of innovation. In reality it seems he truly was unsafe and definitely should have had better oversight.

          The pressure is why I’m wondering what was survived. I mean, fire pistons are a thing- and that’s a far smaller pressure differential. They were probably flash-steamed before they ever knew what happened.

            the forces involved in an implosion are significantly worse than the average person thinks. if they find anything that isn’t raspberry jam I’ll be very surprised.

          Just pointing out that perhaps the larger philosophy of broad deregulation maybe isn’t such a great idea

            But that’s not the case here.

            There isn’t any regulation of commercial submersibles like there is for ground or air. Anywhere around the world. So the “de” of deregulation is not applicable.

            Should there be regulation? Yeah absolutely, if submersibles are going to be a thing. But that’s just called regulation.

              i think they are trying to say this is a perfect example of where things will head if we continue with deregulating industry as republicans think we should. where your boss can say “fuck safety i wanna make more money and if a few people are killed or injured well thats the cost of doing business.”

                Bingo. I’ve been to lots of countries with far fewer safety regulations than the US, and can we please stop fetishizing the cheapening of human life and well-being for profit in the US? Please? We came out of that phase in our development for good reasons.

    I want to know what they mean by presumed remains, I thought for sure they would be vaporized when the implosion happened. Like, is this a bone fragment or something? Surely there’s nothing identifiably human right?

      It meat that has gone through a hull implosion.

      It could be human, it could be half a can of Spam… Would be hard to tell the difference without a DNA test.

            I know enough to understand that that should be really funny, but not enough to understand exactly why.

                Yes, that’s what I was plenty aware of. I failed to make the connection between spam (unsolicited email) and SPAM (the Hormel potted meat prduct), which was mentioned in the parent comment.

                I’m just not always on my toes, it seems. I appreciate your apt hint.

                Edit: Oh, I know why I didn’t connect. I was thinking of those as ways to verify a sender’s identity. By that operation, a consequence is that spam is prevented, but I was only focusing on the primary function.
