"needlessly prioritized passenger safety"

Now that's a phrase we don't normally hear.

I randomly caught a headline form a German news snippet saying that of 90 attempts of the Titan submersible to reach the Titanic, only 13 were successful.

Failure rate 86%, my pocket calculator tells my slow brain.

Their death came within 1 millisecond.

Their battle to survive though, was minutes or so. Here I'm thinking on the communication between the sub and the mothership.

One can only imagine what went through the head of the people in the sub during the technical problems they got.
