For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires’ son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).

They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They’ve been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they’ll make it?

    Just like people insulting the individuals inside. I hate billionaires as much as the next guy. But one of the guys was just doing his job and had been to the Titanic over 35 times in this thing. The operator was also an experienced diver just doing his job. Even one of the tourist was a consummate diver with experience on submarine operations. This seem to have been an unfortunate accident. Going so deep is inherently extremely risky, but these people knew what they were doing. It’s off putting reading a bunch of people talking out of their asses about something they don’t understand just to make morbid jokes.
