When you are in a “try not to laugh” competition and your enemy is footage of billionaires brutally dying in an submarine implosion.

It was probably instant, not brutal

Unconfirmed from official sources, but they might have known something was wrong for 15+ mins.

Unlikely. At that insane pressure, the hull is either completely intact, or, once moving, completely imploding in a fraction of human reaction time. We’re talking about time frames of a millisecond. They couldn’t possibly have seen it coming. One moment you’re alive and well, the next moment your body is nothing more than paste.

The only evidence for them to legitimately worry about would have been from knowledge about any kind of sketchy practices and/or material choices during the building process.

I haven’t been following it closely. Is there actually footage?

Not that I’ve heard. I think it was pretty instant.

The company really imploded under the pressure.

Once the media coverage started, the cracks started to show.

Oh, be nice to Stockton - his entire life imploded because of this incident!
