I feel a bit sorry for the 19 year old but the other rich old campaigners... Not so much.
The based ex navy bloke goes alright. Its really just old mate stockton and the other dude.

Seems to have been bullied into it by his step dad. Glad it was instantaneous.

It's sad when rich people die prematurely because they have so much to live for.
That’s the thing though isn’t it.
They have very little to live for so take stupid risks just to give life some meaning.

If you can have everything whenever you want it (particularly inherited wealth which is nearly every billionaire) what’s the point?

Instead of what’s for lunch it’s ‘Paris or Rome for lunch…again?’.
 
Who’d have thought a mercenary would have different aims to a government.

Haven’t those idiots read Game of Thrones 😂😂.

I wish I was still young, I’d be over there in a shot making an absolute fortune!

It's probably more surprising that this submarine actually had a number of successful missions previously. You'd think the thing would have just caved in immediately but it took a few trips
You'd be surprised how much difference safety factors in design make.

during an inspection at one of the gas plants I worked at, we once found an internally eroded heat exchanger tube that was still contain 6 Megapascals of pressure with only 0.3 mm of wall thickness remaining, down from a design thickness of about 6mm.

It had bulged a little, enough that you could feel it if you ran your finger over it, but it would have been holding on like that for years.

It's to do with things like:
  • conservative assumptions in design. safety factors, high level calcs have many conservative assumptions built in
  • minimum material strength is generally based on 3 standard deviations from the mean (ie the rated yield strength of a certain class of steel will be X, but 99.975% of the steel actually produced will be stronger than X, and most of it will be much stronger)

So when something is rated at X pressure, it doesn't mean it will fail at 101% of X. A pipeline for example will be tested to 150% during commissioning, and coild probably go another 50% again once or twice as long as it's in good condition.

It's the stress cycles outside the plastic limit that do the damage. They change the material properties permanently, causing degradation over time that then lead to failure.
