Yes the link is Texags but the OP says his company was originally asked to work with the company that built the Sub but ultimately declined because they were basically dumbasses.

My firm was asked to work with these guys and we did not join due to their safety plan and materials in their hull. Now the Coast Guard is calling us to ask about any rescue possibilities. We got nothing at those depths.

Carbon fiber hull and unclassed vehicle was a recipe for disaster on this one. Probably why the fare was so high too.

Build the submersible for them. But the carbon fiber requirement and lack of adequate hull pressure monitoring caused us to leave. Also, I am hearing the insurance issue was tempered by making the passengers "crew members." Everyone had to have some "training" to make them crew members before embarking.

Afraid they are done. Coast Guard is looking for debris. It was supposed to be a six hour mission and they had been gone for 72 hours when they asked for assistance this morning. We are helping Coast Guard making predictions on debris fields.
Welp they were already fricked, so I guess they might as well add gross negligence/depraved indifference to the bill. Who has jurisdiction over criminal offenses in international waters?

That slick graphic someone posted a couple pages back contradicts this. I have no way of knowing which is correct, though.
