Tourist submarine on expedition to Titanic wreck goes missing

Now Boeing is coming out and say they never worked with Oceangate on the Titan.
UW is saying first they never worked with Oceangate but had a contract letting them use their facilities: "While OceanGate used testing tanks at the UW School of Oceanography for nine tests between 2016 and 2022, it was on a contract basis without any assistance from university researchers." They were also working on a previous design rated for much lower depths, and they dissolved their partnership after doing 600k of a potential 5 million contract.
NASA is now saying they were consulted on materials science and manufacturing processes but wasn't actually involved in the testing design or manufacturing.
I'm sure some of this is CYA but at best this guy was super over representing expert involvement in his ****ty little death trap, and at worst intentionally lying to potential customers and investors. I'm surprised CBS didnt actually investigate these claims before they let their reporter get in it last year.
