Not sure what television is reporting in the US, but what we have seen are interviews with people who did not take places on the trip because they had reservations about the safety of that submarine. Most refuse to say more, but one did say that an observation window had a pressure rating of less than 5,000 feet (IIRC) and that a correctly rated window would have cost four times as much. Another mentioned that there were several systems problems on a testing dive. I continue to think that it is most likely this submarine imploded 1:45 into the dive when communication ceased. I just don't understand what one gains by going to the wreck. After all, there were all of those touring Titanic displays around the world that allowed you to experience what it might have been like walking through the ship. It's very sad, I think.
