I am saddened as I read to think about the fact this could’ve been avoided.
I mean, it's insanely easy to avoid being crushed at the bottom of the ocean in a homemade discount sub that everyone has tried to warn you is unsafe...just don't try to go to the bottom of the ocean in a homemade discount sub that everyone has tried to warn you is unsafe...
Everyone warned the CEO, but it seems the CEO did everything he could to cover that up and mislead the passengers.
Also the 19 year old was apparently pressured into going despite his fears by his dad.

Tell me about it! I've been able to avoid it for 30 years, and I haven't even really been trying that hard!

It would have been a brilliant business move if it had worked. Shysters and cheats have been mixing in expired or substandard additives to food and drug products for all of history. As long as nobody dies, and you don't get caught, it's just free money in your pocket. I believe it was Heintz, around the turn of the 20th century, who lobbied strongly in favor of the Pure Food and Drugs Act in the US because he felt it would give him a competitive advantage over others by requiring the additives in food be safe. Crazy concept, right?
Sounds like the company and / or his estate will have $0 once all the lawsuits are over. One way to completely screw over your family I guess.

I hear more and more about this every day, about some design flaw. Didn't they think it through? I may be dumb but even I would nope out if the sub was unable to complete any of its test runs successfully.
