the design was crap. even the diversity hire lead engineer said the design wasn't safe. ...and then got sued by the company for saying so.
the testing was crap. they did one test down to 3000 meters, never to 4000. the acrylic used for the portal was apparently rated for only 1300 meters.
the billionaire cut corners and used crap equipment. they apparently used one of the least reliable video game controllers to control the craft rather than any sort of hands-on, direct controls. they seem to have relied on texting with their support ship for geo-locating themselves. the /pol/ threads are 100% worth skimming.
the /pol/ threads on this are great.
