  1. That’s not how the law works whoever told you it is was lying to you. Parliament is subject to the laws Parliament enacts.
  2. Parliament and the Government are subject to the laws of the land. Perhaps the Government should have listened to advice that their plans were in breach of law before pushing them through Parliament.
  3. There you go editing my statement into a single phrase to remove context. I haven’t suggested you ‘hurling accusations, I directly quoted your stating I was hurling accusations. You can’t back up your accusations and you can’t bring yourself to apologize.
  4. And Since you are keen on evidence. Please provide evidence of me making a claim of corporate manslaughter or indeed, as you assert, me ‘hurling accusations of corporate manslaughter’. A linked quote to my actual words will suffice.
  5. I’m looking forward to the formal report. I’m quite certain it’s going to reference Rush’s well publicized disregard for safety and regulations. Perhaps if investigation finds no evidence of a reckless disregard for safety and regulations Rush can file suit .. oh but wait.. he can’t. https://www.insider.com/titan-submarine-ceo-complained-about-obscenely-safe-regulations-2023-6?amp
  6. Refer news article referencing court case and safety concerns raised by guy fired for raising safety concerns. I do know a bit about the engineering and design of safety critical systems and pressure systems. Its a required area of knowledge for Professional Engineers such as myself in the particular field I work in. Evidence, refer news article posted and wreckage recovered .
  7. You are aware that pressure testing of vessels is a process in which the vessel is subjected to a pressure that exceeds the service pressure? You are aware why it is that the engineering of pressure vessels requires design pressure to exceed service pressure. How could the victims possibly know what the risks were if they were not aware of the failure of the company to apply design codes, regulations and testing, where they aware the vessel was constructed of out of date materials, were they aware the viewing window was not rated for the service? Signing a waiver does not demonstrate any knowledge of the actual risk, nor does it indemnify the operator against the consequences of negligence and disregard for safety. https://www.penneylawyers.com/serious-injuries/do-liability-waivers-hold-up-in-court/
  8. Report on the fact that Rush was informed of safety concerns and reference to this going to court: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12218229/amp/Ex-OceanGate-employee-repeatedly-warned-experimental-mini-sub-needed-testing.html
  9. Dead people can’t be charged with any crime, Rush is dead.
  10. Not like they have anything else that needs dealing with on behalf of the American nation.
  11. Not so. They were informed three times that death was possible (it always is), they had no information on the probability of death, and the probability of death is the risk. We’re any aware of the fact the sub had been constructed with out of date materials, without the application of the correct manufacturing methods, in appropriate methods of gluing an inspection window into place that was itself not rated for the service. The employee who informed Rush of these shortfalls was fired for doing so, a matter of court record.
  12. Odd you mention judges, juries and executioners. Stockton Rush’s reckless disregard for safety is a matter of court record, and it did eventually result in deaths, sadly not only his own.
  13. corporate manslaughter is a thing and people do go to jail for gross negligence. I’ve already given links correcting your misunderstandings around signing waivers in the other thread discussing this. I see you missed out my comments on NDT Testing. False equivalence alarm: Jeepny v sub operating kms below surface of a freezing ocean.
  14. He only needs one MAGA objection from the Republican side of the house to call a vote. The GOP have bound themselves to Trump, forgetting perhaps that everything he touches dies.
  15. I would think the answer is obvious. The normalization of child sexual abuse. Learn the behavior on an avatar and feed the need for more, until reality breaks out.
  16. I hadn’t seen that news, thanks for posting. It’s not just the age of the carbon fiber but also the grade, the layer pattern, the resin, the curing, the exclusion of voids and a host of other ‘technology application’ issues. I have two ‘high end’ carbon fiber racing bikes, their price premium is almost entirely down to the costs of the carbon fiber grade and its application. They both came with extensive NDT certification. Chinese copies are available, but frequently suffer catastrophic failure. But even reputable manufacturers sometimes get it wrong, collapsing frames and snapped handlebars occurred multiple times in last years ‘Grand Tours’. Carbon fiber, like all materials is only fit for service if correctly specified and applied. There’s reference in this thread to Rush’s clear failure to understand the materials he was applying and the methods of application. RIP his victims.
  17. I wouldn’t mind betting all 84 witnesses are Republicans or former members of Trump’s Republican Administration.
  18. https://www.businessinsider.com/kushners-2-billion-investment-saudi-backed-fund-concealed-sec-rules-2023-2?amp
  19. Maybe. Maybe it’s an intentional leak to try to get ahead of bad news by spinning it as an exoneration.
  20. It implies nothing of the sort. It does imply Hunter Biden was trying to give the impression he was sitting with his father, but he’s not the first kid to say ‘I’m going to tell my Dad’.
  21. I wasn’t referring to the recording being given to the FBI, rather it also being given to the press.
  22. Those particular cameras perhaps. But by no means all.
