The part most surprising to me was that there is no way to see out of the craft besides the camera system. Why not watch the video on land after the fact? It seems so senseless to endanger yourself as a participant.

  window was in front of tourist toilet they had there, question is I'd they had enough flood lamps so that it was possible to see anything further than a meter away

There's a porthole in the front of the sub, where the toilet is. Funny enough, I've also seen "it doesn't even have a toilet" repeated around HN in the last couple days. IIRC an earlier design or planned design used cameras only. Edit: Wow, they were actually sued by a whistleblower over the pressure rating for the window on an earlier design! https://newrepublic.com/post/173802/missing-titanic-sub-faced-lawsuit-depths-safely-travel-oceangate https://newrepublic.com/post/173802/missing-titanic-sub-face...

  Yeah, I think I made a mistake when researching if it had a window. It clearly had one when the reporter went down last year.
