Officials presented a historical overview of the Titan, noting that its hull had never been subject to third-party testing and had been left exposed to weather and other elements while in storage.

In addition, they laid out serious problems experienced by the submersible on expeditions carried out before the disaster. In 2021 and 2022, over the course of 13 dives to the Titanic, it had 118 equipment issues.

These included the front dome falling off when it was brought out of the sea, its thrusters failing at 3,500m down and, on one dive, its batteries dying and leaving passengers stuck inside for 27 hours.

Personally, I hope my last words are, "Of course I'm not dying - don't be fucking stupid!"

Preferably before I do something mind-boggling idiotic that results in my immediate demise.

I don't mean to sound cold, or bitter, or cruel... but I am, so that's how it comes out.

Illegal for US company to sell trips on an unregistered vessel etc Then the long slog of getting all countries to sign up begins.

Yeah there is regulation for taking clients out on expeditions or tours, oceangate got round that by making their clients become members of oceangate and signing waivers. They need to close that loophole because up until they did that they couldn't take paying customers out on voyages.

The front of the vessel *fell off*

That is some Simpsons level nonsense right there.
