Interesting OceanGate Sub Video - Mission III

Video from “Scuba Jake.” He has a huge following on YouTube for his “River Treasure” channel. Apparently, he was slated to go on Mission III. Fortunately for him, it got scrubbed at the last minute. However, he posted his video documenting the lead-up to the dive. An interesting inside look at the operation.

NOTE: Towards the end the video, they actually load up in the sub to try a test dive, so you get a real good view of what it looked like inside, how the crew got sealed in, etc.
To me, the whole thing looked like amateur hour.
It is a creepy video, showing a guy getting bolted inside the sub of death. He just went on a test dive to 3,000 feet.
Why try to recover anything?
Do we really need to know any more info?
Heard a guy say that the 7 inch thick plexglass window was bending inward about 3/4 inch when at those depths.
It's a learning experience already and when WE explore places such as this, outer space, etc, expect the expected.
Forest gump had a saying for stuff like this.
