This YouTube channel is doing a great job of covering the engineering-related testimony from the Coast Guard board of inquiry.
Lots of details on hoop stresses, strain gauges, carbon fiber layup, dome window design, and of course engineers getting their technical objections overruled for cost and schedule reasons.
I always smile to myself when I think about Rush. Killed by his old own hubris. The billionaire state of mind "I'm rich, therefore I'm right". Move fast and break stuff, huh buddy?
Well, one thought is that when he heard the shoddily constructed carbon fiber and titanium composite pressure hull collapsing, ALMOST CERTAINLY one of his last thoughts were "oops". It would take some CRAZY delusion if that didn't happen.
postscript: And yes, I know that total compression takes on the level of milliseconds at those depths... I'm just wondering if there was any creaking or "pops" like had happened on earlier dives.

He combined the engineering rigor of Facebook with the technological prowess of Theranos

Love the animations of this. People paste is my new favourite term to come from this
