I just found out that the people onboard the Titan submarine are dead. Is OceanGate in trouble? (kbin.social)

Is OceanGate in trouble for not using a good submarine to see the Titanic?

IANAL, but I imagine that being in the middle of the ocean would provide some immunity because the "crime" was jurisdictionless.

Courts aren't limited to prosecuting crimes that happen in their jurisdiction. For example, German courts are prosecuting sex crimes committed by tourists in Thailand. So just because there is no court nearby doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
