I read the company skipped a load of safety and redundancy checks. Thats crazy...if it's true. Cutting corners to save a few bucks .
I'm not surprised due the greed that exists in the world but this should require the same level of regulation as a plane or a rocket . Not some metal cylinder with a $30 controller duct taped inside it.
They operated in international waters, so no regulation applies really. This is exactly what the less government people want - you choose of your own free will to contract with this company knowing the risks. I imagine it's similar to lots of dangerous recreation out there like the sub orbital flights. That said, I would have noped out of it based on the one article describeing the legal processes and forms you had to sign.

But that's just the problem with free market/small government, isn't it? You can't know the risks because there is no oversight to prove people aren't cutting corners and selling bullshit.
As long as it is more profitable for people to deceive and cut corners, they're gonna do it.
So, they made their
seabed and now lie on it?It's hard to find empathy for those guys.
Hopefully the company goes out of business and there is someone held accountable but I won't hold my breath. Its sad for the families all the same.
Sure, it's sad for the families, but I find that my empathy is better off being spent elsewhere.
Even if some employee got caught in this CEO's whims, that employee already sold his life away upon embarking on a sub made by a company whose head thinks "safety just is pure waste."
What's a waste is this CEO not surviving to regret his very words.
