I'm definitely not going to cry in my beer over idiots who decided to dive into the ocean in a tin can to look at a shipwreck. I wish the media gave half as much of a poo poo for average people who go missing or get into accidents than they do for people with much more money than sense.

Rich fuckers are dilettantes trying to find poo poo to talk about with other barely interested narcissist dabblers, so it needs to be expensive, exclusive, and not require much explanation as to why it makes them cooler than you. What makes an interesting wreck for you?

It's the Everest of shipwrecks. World famous, and really deep. I don't think it is the deepest but it has that name recognition going for it.

So your bragging rights are that much more better than some limp-rear end ship that you can just scuba dive to.

250,000 is .025% of a billion, so if your net worth is a million, it's like you paid 250 dollars to ride a trashcan down to the Titanic.

Imagine being that cheap and dumb.

Perhaps it is the spirit of Musk which is inspiring me, but I think I have a way for us all to get rich.

So if each sub is good for 4 dives, and we can get people to pay 250k per dive and we can fit 6 people per dive, that’s 1.5 million per dive, 6 million overall.

Let’s assume the per-dive costs are $200,000. So we just need to build the sub itself for $200k and we can split the remaining 5 million amongst the thread :nice:

The “burial at sea” package (on the 5th dive) should cost at least a million, which should be split 50/50 between the sub pilot’s family (as they will be crushed providing the service) and the thread, so that’s another 500k minimum.

Thoughts?

iirc there was a goon who briefly worked for that guy and posted about the submarine (before the murder), but the guy himself was not

a couple decades there was some event where they dragged a piece of the titanic through san francisco on a flatbed truck some reason, on its way to a museum expedition i guess, and it drove right by the window of the office where i was working at the time, so i've just been as close to the ruins of the titanic as most of these rich assholes
