I still can't get my head around being the type of person who would get on that thing.

I still can't believe that James Cameron went to the bottom the Marina Trench in 2012.

At least Deepsea Challenger was properly built and more than up to the task.

James Cameron shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as these clowns.

But he has the money and the resources to do it safely.

Also he listened to experts in order for that to be possible instead of claiming that submarine classifications and regulation was "holding the industry back". Dude just wanted to go deep in the ocean, and he damn sure did it.

If you read the recent interviews, youd not think hes that crazy. Yes, he did take insane risks with his submarines and stuff, but he was sane enough to use them alone, aka not putting anyone else at risk.

First you've gotta have more money than sense. Then multiple the money tenfold.
