A successful trip costs $250,000 to get into that thing and descend for three hours before the stupid thing stumbles around in the dark for a few more hours with a roughly 25% success rate of actually finding the Titanic and even when they do you only get to spend 30 minutes looking at it, then you enjoy the next three hours surfacing.

And that's only if there ain't someone on the shitter!

The submersible pilot’s spouse is descended from a famous couple who died on the Titanic.

Wendy Rush, the wife of Stockton Rush, the OceanGate chief executive who was piloting the submersible that disappeared Sunday during a dive to the Titanic wreckage, is a descendant of two first-class passengers who died when the ocean liner sank in 1912, archival records show.

Ms. Rush is a great-great-granddaughter of the retailing magnate Isidor Straus and his wife, Ida, two of the wealthiest people aboard the Titanic for its first voyage. Mr. Straus, born in 1845, was a co-owner of Macy’s department store.

Ms. Rush, born Wendy Hollings Weil, married Stockton Rush in 1986, according to a New York Times wedding announcement. Her LinkedIn page says that she has participated in three OceanGate expeditions to the Titanic wreckage in the last two years; that she serves as the company’s communications director; and that she is a longtime board member of the company’s charitable foundation.

Ms. Rush could not immediately be reached for comment for this item.

Their story on the Titanic was so heartbreaking

quote:

According to friend and Titanic survivor Colonel Archibald Gracie IV, when he offered to ask an officer if Isidor could enter a lifeboat with Ida, Isidor refused to be made an exception while women and children were still on board, while Ida is reported to have said, "I will not be separated from my husband. As we have lived, so will we die, together." Ida gave her maid her fur coat and insisted she get into a lifeboat. Isidor and Ida were last seen on deck arm in arm; eyewitnesses described the scene as a "most remarkable exhibition of love and devotion".

that's cool about the wife being related to the Strauss couple, they're pretty well known

i went to a dinner theater titanic thing in orlando for friend's parent's birthday before the pandemic, with a bunch of actors all playing real people aboard the titanic with many replica rooms and sets built out that they brought you through during the course of the evening

they had actors playing those two, and one of the scenes was them deciding to go down with the ship together, and give up her spot on a lifeboat

i thought that the event would be a pretty lame going in, but it was actually really cool
