With all the noise about the waivers and how this was well communicated that this was a dangerous, experimental submersible, the one question I ask is, if it were truly an experimental sub, why exactly are they charging prices that reflect that of a highly engineered and scrutinized operation/vehicle?
It is a sad situation, but again one where someone thinks they are smarter than everyone else in the room. As James Cameron said, the parallels of ignorance to this incident and the actual sinking of the titanic are shocking.

I can't say I understand all they physics involved. Would it only take 1 carbon fiber bond to snap for the capsule to instantly implode? From what I gathered from online forums and video, when a carbon fiber bond breaks, it make an audible tapping or thud sound, and one may not have been enough to collapse the vessel.
