Doomed Titanic sub CEO tried to sell cut-price tickets, saying it was ‘safer than crossing the street’

The NY Post got their hands on some pretty damning text messages where this CEO was irresponsibly downplaying the risks and cutting the ticket price for a potential prospect. I know he's dead now, but I hope some sort of regulations come out of this.

There already are regulations; he just didn't like them. Dude was breaking the law, and he was proud of it.

Even if he's dead, his investors and his company should still be held accountable for all this bullshit. We need to put a stop to these assholes cutting out every safety measure except the liability waiver they make the customers sign.
