We're all familiar with liability waivers. Legal Eagle explains how and when liability waivers serve their purpose, and what things could cause them to implode catastrophically! OceanGate has a very explicit release that sounds like the mission specialists (née passengers) signed their lives away, but will it hold water?

Legal Eagle is clear that there are a lot of places to bring lawsuits against the company, and many governments are looking into the event. Things look dismal for OceanGate.
