    There were paying customers, on a ship built in the United States, departing from Canada.

    Both NTSB and the TSB in Canada will want to investigate, as it was commercial.

      Good take on it. I guess I’m quite prejudiced against wealthy people paying to do dangerous shit. Having said that I don’t wish them any ill. It just looked like a really dumb thing to begin with. The PC controller on the thing is a bit of a joke tbh.

        Wealthy paying to die in ways reserved for workers as a result of an employees negligence.

          I would imagine that being wealthy, one would go above and beyond to ensure one’s safety. Especially when it’s a highly dangerous situation.

            Definitely would rather be in an Airbus though.

            With triple redundancies on all steering and control related systems, and almost all software will be mathematically proven for correctness.

            All this is hard and expensive though (Software in this environment cannot use dynamic memory at all), hence I can see a startup taking shortcuts.
