If this was international waters maybe there are no regulations.
The company is registered in the US. US law can therefore apply. In fact USA claims jurisdiction where it's very shady to do so (for example just for payments made in USD)
Wait what? So a guy in Zimbabwe trades a broom for some USD and the US government feels they have jurisdiction?
No, it has to be on a banking system. However even if the banks are not based on the US, if the transfer is denominated in $USD the US claims jurisdiction.
That's the idea, I think. Of all the submarines that could reach that depth it was the only one with no certification.
That's what needs to change. If there was enough support internationally, the UN could facilitate a treaty being signed between nations with uniform regulations on submersibles. Then it wouldn't matter if it was international waters.
a completely silly use of literally everyone's time and money, as was the search.
If billionaires want to do life threatening tourism, then let them, but there should be no accommodations for the consequences.
And people who are not signatories?
