I mean like even if someone is for example criminal or scumbag they are still human and hoping for someone to die or make jokes of someone’s loss of life isn’t right. Or does someone think it is justified? I think it’s morally wrong.

    I find myself making fun of the engineering, but I think it’s a defense mechanism. I’ve had a pretty strong interest in the Titanic since I was a kid, and if I were offered the opportunity to see it, I think I’d be more likely to go. And it’s scary to think I’d end up on a vessel that wasn’t designed to do the thing it advertised it can.

    How much did the people who went actually know about the sub they were on? How common is it to sign a waiver about dying to go on a commercial sub?

    It’s easy to laugh with hindsight, but it’s scary to think what could have happened if I were in the position to choose to go.
