My guess is the CEO was charismatic and able to instill false confidence.

I don't know about false confidence
He seems very convinced...


There multiple videos of them reading the waver out loud, and saying where do I sign up...

It is quite clear it is experimental.

If someone reads that, and they made a choice to go.
I have no problems with that, and they should not be able to sue.

From the sounds of it joystick has nothing to do with something imploding,
Seems the whole electrical system could fail and there are at least 2 ways to surface,
The more video I see, of the unit and docking barge, I am quite impressed.

The carbon fiber and glue on ends is what scares me!!!
 
Who covers the cost of the search/investigation now?

Why no massive coverage of this:

2023 Statistics: An estimated 600 people summited the world's highest peak, including 350 Sherpas supporting 250 clients. Records were set as well, including Kami Rita Sherpa summiting Everest for the twenty-eighth time. However, 13 climbers and Sherpas have been confirmed dead, with another 4 missing and presumed dead.

I guess everyone is desensitized to Everest outcomes...

Climb to 29,000 feet nobody cares
Dive to 12,500 feet (and be a billionaire) all eyes on you...
 
This will take weeks to recover the remains of the sub in its current condition. Nose cone is intact and lying face down. The stern cone with OceanGate logo lies 500 ft away. Wreckage is 1,600 feet (530 yards) off Titanic's bow.

There is already a firestorm brewing on making it illegal to dive the wreck and regulations dealing with subs. This is going to be a crap show now.
