    Those peoples punched deaths tickets for treasures and trophies...now their families sue for money it's absolutely absurd and greedy.
  • @jbrudert
    Who will pay the $? It is not exactly a cruise company they are suing.
  • @marisol9660
    Really? How ridiculous. That’s why you sign the consent form and agree to the risks.
  • 😂so billionaires of those, who signed a waiver before they submerged, are seeking compensation. Makes sense.
  • @vmarsfiles
    Those people signed a CONTRACT saying may cause ☠️☠️ they said the word was mentioned 7 times on one page. As sad as this is, the family has no case.
  • @agp1209
    Fuc*ing Wile E. Coyote submarine. The only thing missing was a giant 'ACME' painted on the side. 🤣
  • @Reaper-cm4jr
    From what I have heard of the Liability Waiver they signed before going, it mentioned Death something like 16 times. If that is the case, this suit will go nowhere.
  • They signed a liability waiver, the family was already rich, now they want to money. Lol
  • Truthfully. The passengers signed a waiver that mentioned the possibility of death several times.
  • @MastersReMASTER
    The warning signs before implosion: Moved to a less restricted zone for submersibles Arrogant CEO ignoring advice and constructing using materials that were below safety standards to visit the wreck Signing waivers that mention death 5-6 times Passengers ignoring the copious amount of videos on YouTube (before the implosion) that showed they heard sounds and didn't feel safe Passengers being called "mission specialists" when in fact none of them have the credentials for any sort of work. It's a fun way for them to bypass the laws that would otherwise restrict them from diving as freelance tourists. If I were a millionaire (I wouldn't even go); but if I did think about going, I would do a crap ton of reading reviews before making a call, ESPECIALLY if it's a chunk of money. Hell, everywhere I go I typically read the reviews because that's a good indicator of quality. ​I feel bad for the families that lost their loved ones, but arrogance towards the risk may destroy your life, which is priceless.
  • @canadaglennrz
    Were the submersible passengers forced to go or did they go of their own volition?
  • @thepain321
    They shouldn’t get a cent. The passengers took part in something inherently extremely dangerous.
  • @2guntommy4
    They new the dangers lol now the family trying to cash in using the death pretty much as extortion 😂😂
  • @randomrazr
    LOL this sounds more like greed and hoing to snag some of that $$$ from insurance or whatever. The victems signed a waiver, knew the sub was experimental, and death was mentioned in that wiaver multiple times. The only real winners here are the lawyers who will get their pay
  • @rileyboy66
    Lol like they didn’t sign that right away before they boarded… come on…
  • Id taken one look that remote said stop stop stop oI want out 😂😂😂🎉
