    Do you feel you could make those determinations? I couldn’t. Have you done so for your car? I haven’t. It’s all too common for us to trust that other people know what they’re doing. You can’t always check everything.

      I don’t personally think this vessel passed the eye test, though. The CBS reporter who took the trip even seemed to call it out in his segment (though he still got in it)

        I think about all the previous people who got to go see the titanic, and learned today that they were in a death trap.

      Well it’s common and public knowledge that the viewing window was rated to 1500 metres and they were going to 4000 metres

      That alone would make me think twice
