TLDR: "The entire shipping industry is doing it wrong, so we're doing it differently."
Also:
> OceanGate’s submersibles are the only known vessels to use real-time (RTM) hull health monitoring. With this RTM system, we can determine if the hull is compromised well before situations become life-threatening, and safely return to the surface. This innovative safety system is not currently covered by any classing agency.
So I guess that system didn't work? All the accounts I've heard suggest that the hull collapsed instantly.
- teeray 3y agoIt’s possible that it did work flawlessly, but the signal that the hull was compromised failed to change the pixel color on a monitor before the monitor was destroyed by the imploding hull.
- mcv 3y agoYeah, but that's not "well before". Detecting a problem when it's too late to do anything about it is not quite as useful.
