yes Rick, this death is our fault. 13 years is nowhere near enough time to get that deathtrap working, even for a Noble Prize winner in physics. And 11 years is not enough time to learn from the mistakes of your first project. And 5 years is not enough time to plan your second project, even with a year delay in the starting date. And 3 months is not enough time to get to 8000 feet in perfect conditions Do you realize the WKPP was at Wakulla 8 days in '98? The 18 grand dive was setup, executed and cleaned up in 36 hours. If you want to know about time pressure, ask George and Dawn how we have to beg for time to dive, how we have to dive Thursdays and Fridays so as to not disturb the park, how we have to put gear in before dawn and take it out after dark. Let's talk about how we all have real jobs and pay our own way instaed of going around asking for handouts. Try coming home from a weekend of diving, cleaning your gear, fixing stuff that broke, mixing gas, filling tanks, repacking gear and driving back to tallahasse the next weekend from up to 15 hours away while putting in a 40 hour work week. That my friend is time pressure. Now let's talk about us helping stone...where do you see that we could have been of help? We emphasize teamwork, fitness, safety, redundancy, using methods proven in shallower less complex systems, never training at wakulla, using only seasoned vetrans and ALWAYS HAVING A BUDDY! Chief, you don't have a clue.
