This company was full of affirmation and bereft of expertise. Great example of the kind of corporate leadership this era in America is burdened with.

Stanley’s theory makes sense when you put it together With Stockton Rush’s personality.

[@Alex_Coaster_Adventurer]

@@wuteva34 I really appreciated his testimony overall. He was very honest (especially at the beginning). Some stuffs are looking bad for them as coast guards and governing agencies.. the beginning of the testimony is a blessing for them (I hope!)

[@1997Gaa]

I agree though I do feel the last of his testimony didn't help at all and may have slightly hurt the case due to injecting opinions on personal motives when this hearing isn't really about this, and he wasn't a character witness.

[@Alex_Coaster_Adventurer]

@@1997Gaa Well, it's not a trial so hearsay is allowed. He can say what other people told him

[@1997Gaa]

@@Alex_Coaster_Adventurer true but it makes him sound speculative about personal motive which, even in a hearing can make you sound "better than thou" and even vindictive sometimes which you don't want. It's why it's not suggested legally. (I don't think he was being vindictive necessarily just that done in a certain way it can 100% sound that way)

[@kristianfagerstrom7011]

@@1997Gaa True. No point in adding personal speculation unless it has very solid foundation and aligns with your testimony.

[@dustman96]

These people's titles are ridiculous. Director of administration = maid and helper.

[@GoronCityOfficial]

Karl Stanley is one of the most respected people in the submersible community, he's on point, doesn't take unnecessary risks, knows what he is doing, if the community were filled with people like him they could self regulate. Clearly Rush has caused irreparable harm to this community and it is sad he won't be facing any repercussions

The 1st part of this hearing didn't have audio. I don't know what her responsibility was supposed to be, but all I'm hearing is HR speak

[@Alex_Coaster_Adventurer]

yes same for me.. would love to hear her background to understand where she's coming from

[@jeffbridges8681]

Amber Bay. Director of Administration at Oceangate I believe. Whatever that means.

[@barbarahenninger6642]

I believe she said she did all the administrative work and also went on almost all of the excursions in the ship but not in the sub.

[@disruptedoriginal]

Thought it was my phone thanks

[@AIRL-asteroid]

Same. What is her background? She ended up taking the place of people who left by the sounds. Including the people who lost the stomach to bolt people into that thing.

[@martinmendez695]

Did the sound engineer work at Oceangate too?

[@Ratchet2]

Most likely the case.

[@SMac86]

They don't use engineers. They use "helpers".

[@chattycoryn5064]

Karl Stanley is the man!!!! ♡♡♡♡♡

[@frankfielder]

Man they ought to hand out Oscars to these women who can turn on the tears at a moments notice.

[@SMac86]

Sir, please stop incriminating yourself by talking about you unregulated work history. Sir, please, you should seek legal counsel.

[@zuzauramek9850]

Did anyone in OceanGate come to you and tell you they have concerns? Well .......The water is wet. I one word OceanGate will BS answers

[@udirt]

I have to say it somewhere... watching her there was a drop in credibility when she was asked about the potential tax evasion with the memorial university.

[@darrendavies7290]

What a company it a joke when it to heath and safety tow it and work on a floting platform in 5 ft sea unsuitable part? Struck by lightning and not one engineer qualified on the team and to say it was built by Bowen had nothing to do with it only rendering the space to them?

[@halfpintcustoms3428]

Cutting edge technology ahahahah please

[@BluesJames]

I would say nothing if I was going to blubber

[@diegodellamaggiora98]

Complete disregard for safety in the name of a single man ego. The depiction of the humanity.

[@halfpintcustoms3428]

Why did they tow it instead of lift it on and off?

[@jfraserfisher]

Cost of hiring ship and original ship was either busy or too expensive so they settled for polar prince

[@SMac86]

Also they dropped it once when they used to lift it. 😂
