They are rich people. The sub WILL be found. Hell, there's a billionaire on the sub. They will drain the loving ocean to find his corpse.

Nah, not when all the other billionaires have started a dead pool to figure out when they all kick the bucket in their luxury tin can

More billionaires should get into other subs to search for the first sub. The other subs don't have to be rated for the entire 12,500 feet.

how cool would it be if the sealed sub kept their bodies mummified at the bottom of the ocean for a hundred years

containment would fail due to corrosion within a few years at absolute best, probably sooner because this tour operator has a history of extremely dodgy maintenance practices. also the sub itself is not exactly "overbuilt"

there's nothing wrong with you that an expensive operation can't prolong

While it’s great that this billionaire is probably dead or dying at the bottom of the ocean, the problem is that someone else will inherit his wealth and the number of billionaires will remain constant.

What I’m saying is we need a company that not only puts billionaires onto deathtrap submarines, but also gets them to unwittingly sign away all their possessions to the Orcas in the event of an accident.

when you get really rich and can afford all the regular stuff with no risk/effort on your part whatsoever you get bored and start having to do stuff like this to feel anything at all. redistribution of wealth is for their own good.
