Ketter criticized the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/university-of-washington-vaccinates-humans-using-genetically-modified-mosquitoes\/\" title=\"University Of Washington Vaccinates Humans Using Genetically Modified Mosquitoes\">experimental approach<\/a> taken by OceanGate&#8217;s CEO, Stockton Rush, stating that the laws of physics are already well understood.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;That means, from an engineering and operational point of view, we know how to do it; it&#8217;s not something that needs to be discovered,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ketter emphasized the importance of considering how materials react to repetitive cycles in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russias-naval-strategy-for-the-indo-pacific\/\" title=\"Russia\u2019s Naval Strategy for the Indo-Pacific\">deep waters<\/a> when designing a deep submersible. He highlighted the significance of withstanding extreme pressure changes during multiple trips.<\/p>\n<h3>Prior Warnings and Criticism<\/h3>\n<p>It is worth noting that the flaws of the submersible were known before its implosion, and Stockton Rush&#8217;s experimental approach had been consistently criticized by experts. In 2018, the Marine Technology Society expressed concerns in an open letter to OceanGate, warning of potential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/south-carolina-democrat-party-attacks-democrat-lawmaker-over-trans-bill-bigotry-will-find-no-quarter\/\" title=\"South Carolina Democrat Party Attacks Democrat Lawmaker Over Trans Bill: \u2018Bigotry Will Find No Quarter\u2019\">negative outcomes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Our apprehension is that the current experimental approach adopted by OceanGate could result in negative outcomes (from minor to catastrophic) that would have serious consequences for everyone in the industry,&#8221; the letter read.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">click here<\/a> to read the full article from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tourist submarine that is believed to have imploded while surveying the wreck of the Titanic could have only done so due to an engineering flaw, according to an expert deep-sea pilot.
