Chazal: everything that happens in the world os because of Jews, and they are supposed to learn a lesson from it.
Anonymous: that’s egotistic.
Who are we going to listen to?
Anyways, my take on the issue is that both the crew of the titanic and the submersible travelling to visit it shared the same problem. The captain of the titanic in his gaavah threw away lifeboats and security devices because he thought his ship was unsinkable. He had the arrogance to tell Hashem what will be, and this led to the deaths of 1,500 people.
Similarly, it was reported that the pilot of the submersible disregarded safety protocols.
It’s a lesson in humility; never to be cavalier, arrogant and reckless.
