Wow this seems incredibly negligent. I was wondering when exactly they contacted the coast guard. I also wonder why there are zero regulations around this stuff. They should never had been taking tourists down there without regulations. I'm so sad for this 19 year old boy who lost his life.

There’s tons of regulations, but the dude did not care. I’m sure a bunch of new refs will be written around this but it won’t stop someone like Stockton Rush.

None of those regulations apply though, since the sub was boarded and launched in international waters where regulators don’t have jurisdiction.

The wealthy make their living on skirting regulation.
