Pretty sure these trips cost in the 6 figure range. I don't have a ton of sympathy for people that rich. However they are possibly going to die in one of the more mentally terrible ways. In the dark, slowly running out of oxygen with no chance of escape. It's only slightly better than being buried alive in a casket.

This is being talked about in like every thread i regularly peruse so I guess billionaire death during submarine exploration is some sort of singularity of my interests

Even if they are still alive, I think they are pretty much hosed. Watched a BBC news clip and they said that rescue subs cannot go that deep and even if they could, the hatches do not match.

It sounds from the bits I've watched, the part they actually put resources into was making it structurally sound and able to withstand pressure. The entire rest of the submersible seems to be super macgyvered up so something like an electrical failure taking basically the entire craft offline or the ballast tanks being hosed up and making surfacing impossible seems just as likely as a catastrophic failure of the pressure vessel. I dunno if they'll ever find this thing though. wilderthanmild fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Jun 20, 2023 |

Plus I saw a news clip where they had a previous passenger on this talk about the jankiness of the sub and he said it has a bathroom system that's basically ziploc bags so have a great final day(s) folks.

my wife and I got a print out submariner "license" because we got in some touristy mini sub in Cozumel, Mexico. I will use these qualifications to answer any and all questions the thread may have
