I watched 'Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster'

And its one of those Documentaries that just kind of kills me. Interviews with experts and employees, etc. and everyone just knew this was a disaster waiting to happen.

Summary: Rich idiot with an ego who wouldnt listen to anyone.

I remember first hearing about this when it happened and the first thought that crossed my mind was:

"Carbon fiber is not a good substance to make a submarine hull out of, especially not at those depths."

And lo and behold what does everyone else say? Something along the lines of: "Carbon fiber is not a good substance to make a submarine hull out of, especially not at those depths."

Who would have thought? Other than everybody?

One part I found really interesting is that the host of 'Expedition Unknown' Josh Gates went on a trip and was going to make an episode about it but actually had to convince his network not to do it because he felt it was going to be a disaster.
