Homemade submarines sunk in the sea, the designer was accused of assassinating passengers on board

If that's true, then this is a sad ending for Mr. Madsen's career.

According to reports, the creator of the world 's largest homemade submarine is being held in Copenhagen by suspicion of murdering passengers on his submarine. The ship above sank off the Danish coast, and many sources said that the passenger was a Swedish journalist.

Five years ago, the Motherboard correspondent team followed the men who made this submarine - Peter Madsen and Kristian Von Bengtson. At that time, they were cherishing the plan to make the first amateur space flight of mankind. It is expected that the homemade ship will take off from the 40-ton, Nautilus UV3 submarine, which is 18 meters long. Madsen will be honored to drive this spacecraft.

'There is no need for a lot of courage to let one climb up a rocket, close the door and launch it. Because only two cases occurred, the missiles had and did not work, ' Mr. Madsen said in an interview with the Motherboard. 'The time when you realize the difference between there is and is not very short. The amount of courage of the operators in the secret earth when making a new decision is immensely large - deciding whether to launch the ship to know if it works or not. '


The ship UV3 Nautilus operates offshore.

The launch of the ship had to be postponed because the homemade submarine needed to be repaired quite a lot - meaning a large amount of money to accompany and the two men did not have that much money. According to Ars Technica, Madsen tried to fix it himself and that made a Swedish reporter pay attention (the girl's name has not been revealed).

Madsen and the reporter tested the Nautilus UV3 submarine last Thursday. Sadly, the submarine has sunk to the bottom of the water due to a technical problem at the balance tank. Mr. Madsen interviewed in front of the television that he was lucky to escape the sinking ship, not mentioning the involvement of the reporter.

According to Madsen's testimony, he did not acknowledge the murder of the reporter, saying that after the end of the voyage for the purpose of interviewing, he had left her at an island being re-planned .

It is not clear whether she was on the submarine at the time of the sinking event. Police are investigating, seeking witnesses to confirm that the reporter has set foot on the submarine. The divers cannot reach the ship safely, so it is impossible to determine if there is anyone else in the ship. This week, the Nautilus UV3 will be salvaged and investigated further.

Mr. Madsen is in custody, he may be locked into murder during future trials. If so, then it will indeed be an infinite sad end to a talented and skillful person, dreaming of the distant Universe.
