The sad part to ponder is most likely the team on the ship knew the sub was gone right when the communications was lost but kept the information to themselves.
From what I read and watched the company didn't take safety very seriously at all.
A former employee claims they were fired after brining up concerns about safety. The glass apparently was not rated for the depth required to see the titanic.
Which begs the question why there were no additional safety measures put in place after so many "skin of the teeth" trips making it back.
IMHO this was a get rich scheme the two founders spun up that went sideways. They spent the absolute minimum on safety and repeatedly cut corners on the sub in order to get it up and running, then charged people a ton of money to take a trip down deeper than the sub was clearly capable of going.
