Not that it really protects Oceangate in reality, but the release they signed pretty clearly stated that they could become fish chum doing this.

The issue is that there’s so few of these vehicles and they’re all such highly built with significant differences in max tolerances, regulations doesn’t exist for them... And there’s also already ratings for submersibles capable of reaching various depths. Titan was not one of them for reaching the titanic depth.

It was obviously heavily implied that it was safe,... Do you honestly think that they would get many takers if they advertised “many experienced submariners have told me that this sub is definitely a death trap”?

Ironically, the answer to your last sentence is in your first sentence!

Doesn’t the Jones Act only apply to ships that go between US ports? These foreign ships were involved in international trade.

Norfolk Southern and Boeing must be grateful for the distraction.

That is such and ugly bridge anyways, they worried about looks? more like costs.

The Texas bro that rode stupid, STUPID speeds (150 mph+) in Colorado and monetised got extradited back to Colorado - excellent!

The dude is wrapped in cheetos sweats, driving a cheetos-themed car.  The mschf boots are the least cheesy thing going on in this picture.

My cat loves salmon, but he insists on pronouncing the L. It drives me insane.

Persons can be “nationals of other countries” and work legally. A “legal” immigrant could have a visa, therefore if a person is a legal immigrant and a national of another country, it would be incorrect to identify them as Americans. As is often the case, people see surnames of the victims, nationalities, then make…

This is a stupid take by someone who CLEARLY doesn’t have all of the facts and is just spewing assumptions out of their ass. There is AUDIO READILY AVAILABLE of the radio communications between the emergency responders, including one of them LITERALLY saying he was going to drive onto the bridge to get the workers as…

There were tugs that guided the ship out into the main channel then pulled away as they thought they were no longer needed. When the ship made a distress call they raced back but couldn't reach the ship in time.

The mere fact that they got the road closed in under two minutes is amazing and probably depended on DOT dispatch sending out a blast to everyone in the region to get moving if they were anywhere close. I don’t think there would be any reasonable way to get information to employees of a private contractor that quickly.

From what I’ve read, they did think to warn the crew, but there just wasn’t enough time to get word to them. I’m they will look for ways to improve that communication in the future.

and you’re likely to save a few cents per gallon over using the pump-mixed mid-grade gasoline

WSJ story about this from two years ago. Newsom showed up, picked up some boxes, pledged more money for policing the issue, and that was that.
