Amid the shock of loss lie questions about how and why the Titan disappeared.

在這場悲劇的震驚中，人們對泰坦號的失蹤原因和方式充滿疑問。

And foremost among them is a single was this ever safe?

其中最首要的問題是：這真的安全嗎？

The submersible was never certified for use, but

這艘潛水器從未獲得使用認證，但

a loophole allowed it to operate at the Titanic wreck site, as in these previous missions, because these are international waters.

一個漏洞讓它得以在鐵達尼號沉船地點運作，就像之前的任務一樣，因為那是在公海。

Five years ago, the Marine Technology Society was wrote to Oceangate saying it feared the company's experimental approach could result in negative outcomes, from minor to catastrophic.

五年前，海洋技術學會曾寫信給 Oceangate，表示擔心該公司的實驗性方法可能會導致負面結果，從輕微到災難性的都有。

It was a dispute that was never resolved and still haunts one of the writers of that letter.

這場爭議從未被解決，至今仍困擾著其中一位寫信者。

To do five passengers, it does push the envelope and you've got to do the numbers right.

載著五名乘客，這確實是在挑戰極限，而且你必須把數據算對。

Oceangate was taking a strategy of, well, we, we intentionally break the rules because we can do it better and faster.

Oceangate 採取了一種策略，就是「嗯，我們，我們故意打破規則，因為我們可以做得更好、更快。」

這讓我們陷入了一個非常悲慘的局面。

All of us in this technical field are sincerely driven by the deep duty of care.

我們這個技術領域的所有人，都真心被深切的責任感所驅使。

The submersible industry is a thriving one.

This Dutch company sells models for exploration, research and personal use.

這家荷蘭公司販售用於探勘、研究和個人使用的模型。

Unlike the Titan vessel, these all have to pass a long process of safety checks before they can be sold.

與 Titan 潛水器不同的是，這些都必須經過漫長的安檢流程才能販售。

Certify the design, they certify the materials, and they will inspect every stage of the build.

認證設計，認證材料，並且會檢查建造的每一個階段。

And once a submarine is ready, we will go with them to the actual diving depth of these submarines and test every safety system again and again for each submarine.

潛水器準備好後，我們會和他們一起到潛水器的實際下潛深度，一次又一次地測試每一艘潛水器的所有安全系統。

By the time we are finished, we will have a half container load of paperwork.

等我們完成時，會有半個貨櫃的紙本文件。

These machines don't go anywhere near the depth of Titan.

這些潛水器根本到不了 Titan 的那種深度。

They're designed to fall hundreds, not thousands of meters.

它們的設計是下潛數百公尺，而不是數千公尺。

But they do tell us something about what it must have been like on board.

但它們確實讓我們對船上的情況有所瞭解。

This submersible is very different from Titan.

It's got much better communications, it's more modern.

You've got these acrylic screens so you can see outside.

你看這些壓克力窗，可以看到外面。

Put five people in here and it will feel cramped.

Now, that's all right for a couple of hours, but

for a few days that would be extremely unpleasant.

For the moment, this is an industry shocked by what it's seeing and hearing.

目前，這個產業對眼前所見所聞感到震驚。

But it also wants to know what went wrong and why.

但它也想知道哪裡出了錯，又是為什麼。
