Five key concerns regarding a manned submarine mission to view the Titanic wreckage may have been missed
, as the hunt to find the crew continues.
Five people are on board, including British businessman Hamish Harding, with the group paying close to £200k each for the experience. 'Trip could result in death' The passengers were warned before entering the vessel that the submarine had not been approved or certified by any regulatory body and the trip "could result in death". Journalist David Pogue was on an expedition to the North Atlantic and has shown the forms he had to sign before they set off.
Top news stories today Simpsons writer Mike Reiss, who was on the same trip, said: "To get on the boat that takes you to the Titanic, you sign a massive waiver that you could die on the trip. The paper added that any trip could "subject passengers to potential extreme danger in an experimental submersible."
Submarine firm bosses 'avoided US regulations' Engineer Bart Kemper said in an interview that OceanGate had "sneakily and purposefully" avoided certain US regulations by deploying the vessel in international waters. Salvatore Mercogliano, an associate professor of maritime history at Campbell University in North Carolina agreed with Mr Kemper's claims.
