OceanGate Continues to Offer Titanic Bathyscaphe Tours
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] OceanGate, whose bathyscaphe crashed while diving into the wreckage of the Titanic, continues to sell tickets. The next runs are scheduled for 2024.
To be fair, the company president who approved all the construction shortcuts will not be supervising the next build. And it was fairly conclusively demonstrated that the shortcuts he chose are a tad too risky.
"Intrepid travelers will embark on an eight-day expedition to dive the iconic wreck, which lies 380 miles offshore and 3,800 meters below the surface," OceanGate reports .

Those wishing to dive to the Titanic will pay $250,000 for this.

As IA Regnum reported , the bathyscaphe of OceanGate Expedition disappeared on June 18 in the Atlantic Ocean. On board were OceanGate Expeditions founder Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleiman , and French aquanaut Paul-Henri Narjolet.

Rush, according to Fox News, admitted several years ago that he broke some rules in the construction of the Titan submersible. American financier Jay Bloom said he repeatedly expressed doubts about the safety of the dive after Rush suggested that he go down to the Titanic.

Professor of Florida International University Eileen Maria Marty noted that the destruction of the body of the apparatus occurred in just a fraction of a millisecond. The historian of the submarine fleet, captain of the 1st rank and officer of the submarine fleet Nikolai Cherkashin , in an interview with IA Regnum , stated that any submarine, no matter how strong it may be, will be crushed in a split second if its hull is not airtight.

CNN reported that people, most likely, did not have time to realize what happened. One of the creators of the Mir deep-sea manned submersibles, Hero of Russia Anatoly Sagalevich, expressed the opinion that the Titan hull most likely collapsed. Former Royal Navy submarine captain Ryan Ramsey suggested that one of the possible causes of the disaster was the erroneously designed bathyscaphe hull.

Later, the wreckage of the Titan submersible, which crashed while trying to dive to the Titanic, was raised from a depth of about 3,800 m. It took 10 days to do this.
