With the disclaimer that I haven't had a coffee yet, am I missing something? Mod list reads like just about any of the R build threads here. Car looks good but someone sure does love their Cricut.
Was talking about this with my barber yesterday. From what I've read, the guy/company that built and ran the sub specifically dodged safety inspections and certifications, and IIRC he also didn't design the submarine with jettisonable ballast nor enough positive buoyancy to breach the surface. It appears the submarine's design also lacked an emergency beacon and its corresponding "float to the surface" indicator buoy which is a key safety feature of every single other submarine out there.
A tether with a data cable would have been a good idea in that case. Show the Titanic off to billionaires from a short distance so that you don't get snared or, yanno, stranded on the bottom of the ocean with no way to call for help.
The search and rescue mission is because 1) we don't actually know it's at the bottom, it could have potentially "surfaced" (see above note) but was moved by ocean currents, and 2) there's a huge ocean going cultural thing to render whatever aid possible.
I'd be dangerous with a Silhouette, I hear with the newer Cricut you need to buy like fonts and stuff? Not sure, but either way it's a good thing I don't have ready access to a vinyl cutter. I'd make so much dumb shit. I've made some tshirt designs that I'm pretty proud of, and generally will write down ideas if something comes to me if I'm not near a PC.
Cheaping out on a submarine seems like a terrible idea, and I truly feel for the folks in there as well as their families. Everybody likes to shit on safety regulations, until something like this happens and could've easily been avoided/remedied by following basic shit.
