If anyone deserved to die down there, it's the CEO of the company who was on the sub. There have been multiple accounts of him blatantly disregarding safety regulations, recommendations by engineers, testing data, and they did not have the sub certified by any governing body before the trip. It's possible the passengers had no idea how badly planned the mission was, as it seems like all this information is only coming out just now.

I'd also rather an instantaneous crush to a drawn out suffocation.
