Another corporation cutting corners to save money at the expense of human lives. I bet the CEO is regretting his decisions now that he is most likely in an imploded sub at the bottom of the ocean, feel bad for the others though.

As bad as I feel for them, they still made the choice to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and sign away liability.
