Mind you, some of this information that's coming to light about this sub may have not been so publicly present before, but again a wealthy person with resources, you'd think they could have done some extensive home work on this.

I don't know, if you look at the inside of the sub that guy used in Mariana trench and compare it to the OceanGate one, even to someone who has no experience with any of this, they're clearly in a completely different class:

I mean, you'd think the fact that you at least get a seat with the Triton one would be enough to convince someone. I guess it'd be significantly more expensive though, since you'd need to pay for your own crew.
