Rich dude created a company that provides submarine tours of the titanic wreckage, except he built it and operated it stupidly (off the shelf "camping" parts, bad weather conditions). Now he's trapped in the submarine with like 4 other folks where no one knows where they are, and they are expected to run out of oxygen in like 12 hours from posting this.
Super tragic but like, totally avoidable.
Those billionaires are obviously focused on taking as much money as possible for themselves, so... I don't feel a lot of sympathy for them. In fact, maybe it's a fitting end that all their money can't save them.
I am impressed that he got these people to pay him for a ride in his janky submarine. I bet that each „ticket“ costs more than the whole submarine.
I heard it was VERY expensive too.

That site seems broken.
Yup, broken
Just like the sub?
Update: They found some debree that indicates implosion. They are dead for sure now.
