    Their crack detector thing actually detected a problem on the previous trip… Just nobody checked it…

      What the fuck? That’s mental. I’d never heard that little nugget before.

        Pretty sure it’s this one: https://youtu.be/FAAQVntpk00

        Goes through the photos to get an idea where it failed (towards one end). Then looks at manufacturing photos (milling down carbon fiber in a pressure vessel is crazy!) then looks at strain guage graphs.

          Yeah that’s the one I just watched it through. Thanks for the link. Absolutely reckless behaviour from the owner after the previous crack event on dive 80 to go down again. Just so many bad choices.

          Fascinating that they had the data to tell them it wasn’t safe and just ploughed ahead without examining it.
