Pressure at those depths is terrifying, but at least there isn't any doubt of the outcome. Being lost with no evidence would be far harder on the families.

I heard they used equipment rated for 1000 meters at like 4000 meters, like the CEO was bragging about it and he was bragging safety is overrated and overdone etc. What an absolute shit show of a company.
