I dont get it. Not certificated because it is experimental (=in development) and they do not want authorities to hinder the speed of progress - but nevetheless taking passengers...?

And look at that diagram of the inside. No windows, just in front for the pilot a little lookout. Yes, I know deep diving submerisbale are built like this, only small outlooks. But why does anyone not beign scientist or technician havign a professional need for the trip want to book a ride in this thing? I dont get it, but okay...

If it was able to get back to the surface, it may still be mostyl submersed, hovering in and under the ocean surface with only a tiny bit sticking out of the water, so it will still be difficult to find, but then there is at least a chance that their lives can be saved.

But if it is on the ground, I hope for all onboard that they are already dead, else there is nightmare ahead of them. And obviously nobody has a clue how to get the boat up from 4000. No chance, it seems.

Also, it wanted to visit the Titanic, so likely has started the decent in the close vicinity of the wreck. So if the sub sank, it must have landed on or near the Titanic, most likely - making not a single sonar operator in the world happy.
