Subs aren't as dangerous as these news articles would have you believe. Sub accidents are rare (and is why they are so newsworthy). I served on three different boats, and nothing ever happened.
That's not to say that accidents can't happen, and there is the possibility of never coming back up every time a sub dives. But the same can be said for getting on an airliner, or climbing into the family car; in either case you might not come home..
