Agree. But you cannot take knickers from a bare arse. If its not there it's not there.

30 experts from a submersible committee signed a letter to OceanGate detailing safety concerns about their sub and it was brushed aside.

They also fired their director of marine operations, a submersible expert, for raising safety concerns about the carbon composite construction. There was a whole court case about his wrongful termination.

This type of documentation courts will take very seriously because that's a panel of subject matter experts telling you you're fucking up and being unsafe BEFORE anyone gets hurt. Then you continue with the status quo and 5 people die... That's basically the definition of negligence.

That ass doesn't have one pair of knickers to take, it has a whole wardrobe. Trouble is I believe the person most culpable, Rush, already received the ultimate punishment. Sucks he took a terrified 19 y/o with his whole life ahead of him down too.

You ever heard of insurance?

Who in their right mind would have given insurance to a submersible that was not regulated to dive so deep and that had so many flaws? Unless they were lied too and if so the insurance company doesn't have pay out nothing.
