I actually read Harris put hands on Cameron because he didn't stop shooting when he was running out of air.Actors played their scenes at 33 feet (11 m), too shallow a depth for them to need decompression, and rarely stayed down for more than an hour at a time. Cameron and the 26-person underwater diving crew sank to 50 feet (17 m) and stayed down for five hours at a time. To avoid decompression sickness, they would have to hang from hoses halfway up the tank for as long as two hours, breathing pure oxygen.[10]
The cast and crew endured over six months of grueling six-day, 70-hour weeks on an isolated set. At one point, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio had a physical and emotional breakdown on the set and on another occasion, Ed Harris burst into spontaneous sobbing while driving home. Cameron himself admitted, "I knew this was going to be a hard shoot, but even I had no idea just how hard. I don't ever want to go through this again".[9]

Been reading this shyt throughout the morning cause I've been nerding out. People who are like material engineers said he failed the basics of mechanical engineering as it relates to carbon fiber.All done to save money damn shame.
Composite submersibles: Under pressure in deep, deep waters
Manned deepsea exploration calls for a highly engineered composites solution that saves weight and preserves life — at 6,500-psi service pressure.www.compositesworld.com
OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush says the company had been evaluating the potential of using a carbon fiber composite hull since 2010, primarily because it permits creation of a pressure vessel that is naturally buoyant and, therefore, would enable OceanGate to forgo the use — and the significant expense — of syntactic foam on its exterior. So, for Cyclops 2 OceanGate decided to avoid the metallic hull altogether and began a search for a manufacturer that could help it develop a composite hull.
Stfu fakkitI'd like to think that maybe people are finally fed up with the rich man's bullshyt but nah, people just want to be edgelords for a couple of days. Now let it had been a can of fakkits at the bottom of the ocean we'd be seeing flags set at half mast right about now.

They all signed the waiver that said death multiple times.So he built most of it with titanium but one piece with carbon fiber. I'm not a materials expert but I found this as far as differences in strength between the two and carbon fiber is 10x weaker than titanium. Granted they are referencing bikes, but they are talking about material vs material here:

I feel the other families should sue his family for all the money they have. Dude was playing games with people's lives. If this was me, I would feel so much responsibility Ito do everything right if people are trusting their lives to me to take them on a hazardous trip. If it was just me, even though it's still stupid, I'm taking the risk. But once you're responsible for the safety of other people, better safe than sorry. This dude didn't give a fukk.
this is just an incredible self own
like brehs in here have said, that was a cac that thought he knew it allGot served some Ether. But still wouldn't listen.
Throughout the exchange, Mr Rush defended his qualifications and questioned the existing framework around deep sea expeditions.
He said "industry players" were trying to stop "new entrants from entering their small existing market".
"I am well qualified to understand the risks and issues associated with subsea exploration in a new vehicle," he wrote.
Mr McCallum then responded in stark terms, writing: "It will be sea trials that determine whether the vehicle can handle what you intend to do with it so again; take care and keep safe."
"There is a lot more riding on this than Titan and the Titanic," he said.
Dude didn’t want to pay for titanium and other reliable material and went with cheap route with shyt that hasn’t been tested
Yeah if the Navy already knew they wasted tons of resources, that’s probably why they never OK’d those British ships or other privately owned ships/subs to go out there and try to recover them. They already knew they were gone…
This was definitely a distraction for something. Media was eating this up too, with countdowns and everything else. Putting it on the first page of every news site, interviews with random people, etc.
What was important that happened last few days that they needed to distract people from?
I’ve worked on film and tv sets, and heard he is a nightmare to work with on set. If someone’s phone goes off, he fires the person immediately, and staples their phone above the door under the exit sign.
this is just an incredible self own
