I don’t know many details on the loss there so I do not know if they were able to be saved or if they would have been assumed dead before the coast guard could have responded. Maybe the coast guard there just doesn’t care?
Can’t really compare either of these situation because they differ too much. Ask the Greek coast guard why they didn’t make an effort.
There was already an article that basically said they will be immune from any lawsuits. They operated in international waters outside the scope of any laws or regulations on how the submersible needed to be rated. I hope they can find grounds to sue them and kill the company, maybe they will be open to civil lawsuits?
Why would the US coast guard be near Greece?
The coast guard has never charged for search and rescue. This was not an ambulance ride.
Apparently it covers their ass since they would only be held liable if they misrepresented the dangers. Since they mention death 3 times on the first page, I don’t think they did.
