The shocking thing is the fact that they actually did dive with that thing down to the Titanic a couple of times before the hull ruptured. It actually worked until it didn't!

The CEO guy actually had multiple different engineers tell him again and again that the sub was unsafe and that he shouldn't dive with it. He was just incredibly stubborn and went ahead with it anyways.

It's not really that shocking. The submarine works fine, until it doesn't. That's the main problem.

It's like how Russian roulette is a perfectly safe game with no negative repurcussions more than 80% of the time!
