I'm not sure if it makes it better that he went on it also, since that implies that maybe he actually believed himself that it was fine and he wasn't just knowingly endangering people for profit. He's still at fault either way though. It's their job to make sure they are taking every precaution and hiring experienced people, then actually listening to those people. The only fault from the passengers far as I can tell is that they trusted OceanGate was a responsible company
