Imagine being a billionaire and cheaping out on your submarine expedition. You could go in the nice one James Cameron went down on but no you got to get into the fart tube to save the equivalent of the money you make while taking a shower in the morning.

But you see that wouldn't be "innovating" or pushing boundaries and how do you expect that to stroke the ego of billionaires?!?



E:really hope we find out what the profit margin was on these trips

Even if by some miracle they manage to find the submersible intact on the ocean floor, good luck trying to recover it from there.

Also finding a bottomed out submersible of that size is very difficult even with modern side scanning sonars.

Even if they find it on the seafloor, the thing doesn't have hatches of any sort that a rescue vehicle could lock on to. They'd have to haul the entire sub to the surface

I don't think there would even be a cabin for water to enter pretty much the instant the pressure hull failed

Apparently they are picking up banging sounds in 30 minute intervals on sonar

So I guess they didn’t get pancaked

I mean I'd probably be horny af in their situation too but it seems like a poor use of oxygen

You'd hope their gruesome deaths would save some lives in the future, but honestly I would be shocked if this doesn't end up spiking interest in ocean floor tourist trap poo poo.

People are going to die going to see the people who died going to see the people who died on the titanic

imagine being rich enough to afford one of these cool rear end semi-subs and instead you die in a cramped pipebomb that smells like feet and poo poo in the darkest murky depths of the ocean
