>Stockton,
>Your voyage to the Titanic became its own kind of sequel: another preventable tragedy at the bottom of the Atlantic. But unlike my classic film, no one gets to yell "Cut!" and try again.
>You said, “At some point, safety is just pure waste.” That line alone could’ve been written for the villain of my movie. But you weren’t in a movie. You were in a tomb of your own devising.
>What you called “engineering breakthroughs” were really just shortcuts. And just like in Titanic (1997), arrogance was the iceberg.
>You wanted to go down in history. Congratulations: you did. As a cautionary tale. A modern Icarus in a sub made of cutting corners.
>You didn’t just go too deep. You were in way over your head from the start.
>Respectfully yours,
>Jimmy C.
