They fired and then sued the engineer who openly complained that it was only rated for like 1/3 of the depth they were at.  And that happened long before this thing went down.

At that depth, it would have needed to be full of some form of explosive to actually explode. The end ring from the carbon tube (titanium) and the tube end with the window both look to be in great shape... minus the window.

They either do it, or there are enough small leaks to let in outside air. After the last bag of fun that was Canadian wildfires I still smelled a bit of smoke in the car with the recirc on. It was still better than breathing the outside air...

Ugh... take your star...

This is getting complicated fast. As I noted to theart below, I would much prefer to deal with engineers who are going overboard to keep workers safe than the ones I work with currently.

Nor does it address what happens when they fail and get sucked into the multi-million dollar jet engine.

What krhodes1 noted, plus, with ‘The Box’, you’re much more likely to smack the engine and either damage the housing (which is designed to prevent the fan blades from exiting the engine and entering the cabin) and/or the engine and mount and possibly the wing.

A lot of places do have paint or other sorts of markings. The last one that happened was accidental and they had briefed EVERYONE before the plane came in and the person ignored the instructions or figured they were being overly cautious... who knows, they can’t tell us why.

Watch the video, no way NASA made that thing. Maybe they had an ex-NASA employee build it. If you google images of NASA building stuff for critical applications, they do it all in a clean room and everyone is wearing clean room attire. Any contaminants that get into a critical pressure vessel like this such as dust,…

Well, not all countermeasures are ‘active’ in nature,

I’d like to reverse engineer some of the stuff and shove buttons and switches all over the dash to control some of the stuff. Not sure it’s possible, but imagine no infotainment screen but instead, something that looks like the interior of a modern jet or a mixing board. That’s what I want. Bonus for push/pull…

Keep one of those cars just so you can put a new set of tires on the rear every year and do massive burnouts on the anniversary of your husbands death in front of that (expletive removed, started with a c)‘s house.

I wasn’t thinking Coyote, but definitely a new crate motor at least... and just looked them up, the 5.0 Coyote is only $7.5k and puts out 460 hp. That’ll require updating some other stuff because no way that transmission or rear diff will handle all that power.

Yeah, in the ‘more fun’ way. I put paddle extensions on mine and can hold the wheel in both hands AND shift except during very tight, slow corners (think parking lot).  So better control and when you get used to all the buttons on the wheel, it feels more like race car than family car.

Aside from the other comments about the 2 rudders... since it’s a cat, and I’ve only sailed smaller ‘beach cats’ so I don’t know, aren’t these somewhat replaceable? The beach cats are meant to sail closer to said beaches, so the rudders pop up, perhaps these are much more fixed given the size?

Just lock the doors when you get out. It’s the food in the car they smell, not something endemic about Subaru upholstery that they find tasty.

Or the hitch wasn’t attached properly and let go.  Regardless, stuck the landing!

No doubt!  Oops, oh well...

He can say whatever he wants, but the FIA won’t make any switch that quickly. The teams would throw a fit. And even IF the car is as fast or faster on a synthetic fuel, that still won’t mean much. You can make methanol from carbon capture and call that a renewable fuel, but methanol doesn’t have as as much energy…
