P. H. was far more likeable than Stockton... I'm relieved to hear he didn't suffer. Seeing him in interviews made me sad to think he might be trapped in a bad situation. He seemed like a decent feller.
Must be hella weird to hear all this for the people who had gone down in that sub.
Good ol' carbon fiber weave that shatters "like porcelain" eh?
Stockton's hopes of innovation didn't go over too well, and this situation will impede any attempts at similar innovative strategy for at least a decade.

He's the first person I've heard who was willing to say this, so props to him.
They may have known their situation was potentially dire and they may have panicked...
But those feelings they may have momentarily encountered followed by death within milliseconds is still a far better scenario than being trapped for days or suffocating.
