reading this almost feels like it was merely an effort to perform the most expensive suicide ever.
But then again, it could also seems to have been stupidity and a failure to listen to experts.
Man seems to have been unable to get his head out his own ass and was basically hearing every issue and going "this is fine"
Seems like in any case, he deserves a Darwin award, just sucks that other people went down with him.
Welcome to many many many CEOs/entrepreneurs/MBAs. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often, then again it's relatively rare to be in this kind of business and your own passenger
You can't get sued by your customers if you're dead *taps head
In this case, not suicide, but stupidity. You read the things this Stockton man was saying around and you notice it was a case of not knowing what he was dealing with. He also bragged that the certifications and security inspections were actually a burden to advance technology.

my brother in christ safety IS advancement. the safer the sub the deeper it can go (kinda), which could allow room to introduce other things into the sub like a fancier cabin.
I'm beginning to suspect this Stockton man had a case of amooth brain...
