I feel sorry for the loss of any life ( if that is how this ends) but the point that you make in the final paragraph is spot on

Titanic Tourist Submarine Goes Missing

Can't fix stupid, but you can kill it.
The ballast tanks are on an external platform which it’s needs to dock back onto and can only be used from 30 foot
I know it's bad, but I laughed slightly at such breezy animation and music being used to emphasise how utterly effed these people are

If Titanic was a war ship it would have been classified a war grave upon discovery and been left alone. It should be left alone, and not be gawped at for profit. A sad story.
It seems it has over half a dozen mechanisms to return it to the surface, including a final failsafe weight that releases on a timer after 14 hours, so there is reason to hope its surfaced, but there are innumerable ways for this thing to go south.
Terrible situation, but very unnecessary. I get that this company are saying they're using billionaire money to fund some scientific research but it feels a tenuous link for a thrill seeking/bucket list exercise with colossal risk.
The whole thing has now been mapped, digitised and is now constantly degrading.
I can't help thinking the site should be left in peace without significant scientific justification to go there.

Who the hell granted this company a license to take people to their death in a machine that is obviously jarg?

Do you need one?
I don't think they need one mate, that's possibly the root of the problem.
Has Elon Musk tried calling anyone a paedophile yet?
But what mechanisms were these? It has no actual ballast tanks on the sub itself, they are on a different platform. I have heard people say they can use balloons but how are they inflated, where are they stored, at what depth do they work and at what pressure? They were operating in over 3800 meters of water. They would need a hell of a system that works at greater than 380 bar to work that deep. What’s the failsafe weight, how would that work?
