There is a video going around of the lead guy saying (obviously before this incident) something to the effect of “I will be remembered for innovation and the rules I broke, I was told not to build using such and such materials and I’ve proven people wrong”.
“I’ve broken some rules to make this, I think I’ve broken them with good logic and good engineering behind me. The carbon fiber and titanium, there’s a rule you don’t do that – well I did,” said the CEO in an interview in 2021. [1]
James Cameron was quite interesting on the similarities between the original Titanic disaster where the captain was warned about icebergs but said nah and went ahead and crashed, and this time where the guy was similarly warned.
