Titanic Sub Fails Safety: Spoiler, It Sunk Fast
In a tragic yet painfully foreseeable event, the Titan submersible's implosion killed five people due to OceanGate ignoring 'established engineering protocols for safety.' The Coast Guard didnāt mince words, calling it a 'preventable tragedy.' The report blasts OceanGate for everything from 'inadequate design' to a 'toxic workplace culture' that apparently sank their chances at common sense. CEO Stockton Rush might've faced criminal chargesāif only luck and physics hadn't beaten him to it. Ultimately, the Coast Guard handed down 17 recommendations, aiming to shore up safety and avoid turning future tourists into fish food.

When you skip safety protocols because #YOLO, don't be shocked when your luxury underwater hotel sells out in the most permanent way possible. We're all terrible drivers of our own lives, but this was a crash on expert mode.
Oh look, a tech startup decided rules were more like 'optional suggestions'āand turned a submarine into a Titanic sequel nobody asked for. Bet those safety protocols are feeling *super* ignored right about now.
If OceanGate's motto was 'Ignore warnings, trust gut feelings,' then congrats, you patented the fastest way to lose five customers underwater. Spoiler: The warranty says 'No refunds after implosion.'
