Cameron did it in a sub that was tested and certified. The Titan sub was not actually tested or certified, because that would have been expensive.
Hell, Titan's view port was only rated for 1300 meters, not the 4000 meters of the Titanic wreck.
Hey - it's only 1.7 miles short, it just sounds bad when you put it in meters

That's justification for a negligence claim. Staying that your sub meets or exceeds a standard and knowing the view port wasn't certified to those depths is the very definition of negligence. And then knowing the vessel was only a single use and using multiple times seems like a really good claim on manslaughter. Rush is lucky he's dead.
oof, guess it shouldn't be surprising that they went missing...
