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?

    That’s the coast guards job isn’t it? Should we just let people die without attempting to save them just because it’s costly?

      This rescue effort will cost far more than a regular rescue—a washed to sea boat, or someone overboard. This company charges huge amounts and is wilfully ignorant when it comes to safety and regulation. They, and anyone who agreed to their terms have to shoulder the blame for this.
