Private enterprise sub, taking people down for “visits” to the wreck site. Costs around $250K each. One of the people on board is a billionaire who also paid to go into space…
The whole thing sounds dodgy as fuck, from the way it was built, to how it operates, to how passengers are literally sealed in from the outside, this meaning that if the stupid thing surfaces, unless the mothership picks them up in time, they still die…
It’s such a comedy of errors, it’s the kind of shit that only the very rich, and the very naïve, could have allowed to happen…
Anyway, fuck knows, I hope they turn up alive and well, but damn… Next time someone proposes an extreme deep sea sub held together with parts from Walmart (quite literally), steered by a video game controller, and which apparently cannot communicate with the outside world while deep-submerged, and wants to charge $250K to go gawk at Titanic, maybe society should think twice..?
I mean, come on… 🤦🏻♂️
I have a good friend who worked for the company. It's next to a nice pub and grub place. It's basically a billionaires tax write off hobby. She hasn't talked to anyone about it, and I think their is a bit of shock.
The company has had several setbacks, including a sub getting struck by lightning. However, they did do good work. We are complaining because it failed, and ignoring all the times it worked.
I'd love to hear your rebuttal to that video. I know it covers a lot so I don't expect a point by point takedown, but give us something because from where I'm sitting your claim sounds asinine.
How about Dunning Krueger effect? You just had someone whose actually been in the facility and knows stuff say the newspapers, which you know lies, is wrong.
You're dealing with something personal. I would recommend looking g in the mirror for your answers.
