Our hearts and thoughts go out to these adventurous people whom, by paying a quarter of a million dollars a ticket, are the ones who push technology forward. The red flag as a lay perspective for me was the captain pointing out that they were using controlling equipment and interior parts that were meant for a shallow freshwater dive submersible. One look at the gaming device control unit was enough to see that something was wrong. What we must take away from this is that this is not the last time explorers will meet danger that turns into disaster. Backup systems have to be in place as well. There should have been a submersible with a backup crew ready to dive in the same area on a sister ship. But we all know what's going on here; we're human and an adventure like that is what makes some people tick; it's the only thing that makes sense for them in life: to risk it all for the thrills of cheating death...
