Karl Stanley said he told Stockton Rush about what "sounded like a flaw/defect" after taking a dive on the sub, according to an email seen by CNN.

    Sounds like Rush was one of those risk takers and visionaries. These sorts of people hold themselves up as beacons of light and others do too until the risk taking catches up.

    I remember I had a boss that liked some book they read about one of these sorts of people. My boss even had the company buy each of us a copy to read. I skipped it. What I remember though was the the guy died while doing one of their risky things maybe 6 months later. Just thought it was classic. Guy held up as an example by people in authority shows how stupid those people are by getting himself killed.

        This was the whole cause of the 2008 financial crash.

          And the 1980 crash, which lead to many banking regulations, which were removed shortly before the 2008 crash for stifling the economy. Stifling and stabilizing look very similar until you get to the negative parts.

            It is just the process of externalizing costs in internalizing profit. Get rid of regulations, take risks, make a lot of money, when the shit hits the fan say who could have known and get someone else to pay for it.

        Honestly… I can only hope that when I go, I take a handful of rich businessmen with me.

          And also one of their kids, who didn’t really want to go?

          I don’t like gloating over the death of random rich people. If people being rich is a problem then this isn’t the right solution.
