    Also, how does this company even still exist? I’d assume the victims billionaire families would have sued them out of existence/way into bankruptcy.

      They signed release forms, waivers, etc

      You can only sue for actual damages, as expressed monetarily.

      Just cause we don’t like these rich fucks doesn’t mean they are stupid

        Just cause you signed a waiver doesn’t mean you can’t sue. Especially when the victims have more money than god, they will sue and win regardless…

      It doesn’t. Oceangate is completely dissolved.

      The co-founder of OceanGate started his own company called Blue Marble Exploration, and they are planning to start SCUBA diving in Dean’s Blue Hole.

      Not the same company. No submersible involved at all.

      Literally nothing newsworthy about this than the founder’s connection to OceanGate.
