Crushing blow for OceanGate's business i would imagine.

Corporate manslaughter and perhaps personal charges for the CEO would be a staring point.

Well, at the risk of being called a heartless tosser by LZ, they knew the risks, and if they didn't, they got what they deserved.

No different to, say, bungie jumping or parachuting or single seater motorsport.  And that is evidently part of the excitement and thrill of it.

I believe that the " passengers" had to agree to some kind of waiver in the event of the trip going tits up, be interesting to see how it all goes, I think one look at the submersible would have sent alarm bells ringing for me.

Clearly there is now a gap in the market

 I was thinking of plugging it given the ticket prices people will pay, got a proposal for a new sub if anyone fancies joining:

That looks strong enough to do the job 
You'd have difficulty getting all the seating and a potty in there through the small holes

Just burn some bigger holes with oxy-acetylene. You can probably find some sucker who will pay to do the job for you. Wickes*** will sell you some acrylic to stick over the new holes, and the clear silicone to do it with.

James Cameron says his sources heard a 'loud bang' too
Filmmaker and underwater enthusiast James Cameron has told Reuters in a Zoom interview that his sources reported hearing a “loud bang” on Sunday, similar to the US Navy’s report that it heard an underwater “anomaly” near the wreck of the Titanic on Sunday.

Cameron said he knew the Titan submersible was lost from the start, suspecting it imploded at the time the Titan’s support vessel lost communications one hour and 45 minutes into the mission.

“We got confirmation within an hour that there had been a loud bang at the same time that the sub comms were lost. A loud bang on the hydrophone. Loss of transponder. Loss of comms. I knew what happened. The sub imploded,” Cameron said.

He added that he told colleagues in an email on Monday, “We’ve lost some friends,” and, “It’s on the bottom in pieces right now.” The five who died mark the first deep-sea fatalities for the industry, Ca

For some reason, my neighbours won't let me build that in the garage....

I looks to me like the press are giving the lost subs construction an overly negative view (are we surprised!)
