I can still barely believe it's real. The Titanic is a living monument to the importance of safety regulations, slowly dissolving at the bottom of the ocean because its builders and operators were a little too presumtuous with their risk assessment. With that in mind, why wouldn't you name your rickety deathtrap of a submarine "Titan" of all fucking things, plot a course to the wreckage, and proceed with a similarly cavalier attitude towards safety and a considerable lack of contingency planning? It's like they wanted to see exactly how much temptation fate was capable of resisting.
