Those are some dead rich folks
edit: you'd have to be suicidal to ride in this thing, look at this vid https://twitter.com/FnpMarieOH/status/1670931677013524487
In one article from last year, the reporter said he someone has mortgaged their house to go on the trip. It's not even rich folks. It's fucking idiots.
Still a horrible death, being trapped in a can with no way out.
Well, I expected a bit more than an oversized soda can controlled by a knock-off Playstation controller when I heard "sub that can reach the Titanic".
This thing failing had to be completely inevitable. I can't imagine a universe where it didn't eventually happen, and now multiple countries need to waste millions of dollars trying to find this thing and risk the lives of multiple rescuers.
