If the folks who were killed in the sub were arrogant, deluded or just thrill seekers, they paid the full price for those faults as will their families going forward. I think of the many times my own arrogance, pride or just stupidity should have gotten me a Darwin Award. I hope we can learn key lessons from this sad incident without flogging the dead and their families.

They not only refused to take the baseline and evidenciarily needed steps to make the craft safe, they fired a safety engineer and bragged about their cavalier attitude. They ignored communications from their peers telling them how unsafe their craft was, especially with paying customers on board. They bragged about breaking rules, and they unprededently didn't get basic deepsea dive certifications. Pointing out the insane hubris and known-ahead-of-time shortcomings is not flogging the dead. In fact, it's highlighting arguable the most important takeaway so far.
