Boeing

This article pretty much hit the nail on the head as far as I am concerned. My brother-in-law was a proud employee of Boeing for 30+ years when quality and safety ruled the roost. I am sure he is rolling over in his grave. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/how-boeing-put-profits-over-planes/...

Alvin

If you have an irresistible urge to dive the deep ocean in a submersible and have an aversion to busting your ass you may consider this tried and true machine. :D
