I can still barely believe it's real. The Titanic is a living monument to the importance of safety regulations, slowly dissolving at the bottom of the ocean because its builders and operators were a little too presumtuous with their risk assessment. With that in mind, why wouldn't you name your rickety deathtrap of a submarine "Titan" of all fucking things, plot a course to the wreckage, and proceed with a similarly cavalier attitude towards safety and a considerable lack of contingency planning? It's like they wanted to see exactly how much temptation fate was capable of resisting.

And they don’t even see the titanic with their eyes ! Its through a screen

No, the craziest part is how staunchly anti safety regulation the company’s founder was. Per NPR:

The Titan, the small submersible operated by a Washington state-based company called OceanGate, gives tours primarily in international waters, which means the experimental vessel avoided most U.S. safety rules.

In a 2019 interview with Smithsonian magazine, OceanGate founder and CEO Stockton Rush — currently missing aboard the Titan — complained about government rules.

"There hasn't been an injury in the commercial sub industry in over 35 years. It's obscenely safe, because they have all these regulations," Rush told the magazine. "But it also hasn't innovated or grown — because they have all these regulations."

Jesus... Not exactly seaworthy is it?
