    I'm sure you've seen this story developing by now. Air is running out.

    Or shall we play the tin foil hat possibility that these billionaires just wanted to be presumed dead and start life over? I doubt it but still an interesting story and odd way to die.

    The founder of the company behind the an submersible previously described his industry as "obscenely safe" and complained that passenger-vessel regulations held back innovation.

    Almost certainly at this point. I'm guessing that the viewport failed and probably wiped out the passengers instantly. Seems like some safety shortcuts may have been taken.

    Lochridge learned that the viewport manufacturer would only certify to a depth of 1,300 meters due to experimental design of the viewport supplied by OceanGate, which was out of the Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy (“PVHO”) standards. OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters.

    Very sadly, I think he is right.

    French explorer Paul-Henry Nargeolet, one of the five people reportedly aboard the missing an submersible, was well aware of the dangers of deep-sea diving.

    “If you are 11m or 11km down, if something bad happens, the result is the same,” he told the Irish Examiner in 2019. “When you’re in very deep water, you’re dead before you realize that something is happening, so it’s just not a problem.”

    If I had the money to go to space I'd absolutely do that. This anic thing doesn't really interest me but I could see how exploring the deep sea in general would be cool.

    After years of successful launches and re-entry, sure. For now a VR type thing would suffice for me.

    100%, I'm still pretty risk averse. I don't even want to skydive, honestly.

    There's this thing called a parachute

    Would have saved lots of lives on 9/11 especially in the upper floors of the North Tower

    Wonder if they packed some type of pain relievers that does not inhibit breathing.
    If they have to go the slow, painful way.

    More of a chance death was instant rather than suffocating.

    Sadly, if this sub was filled with famous celebrity billionaires, the same people laughing at their deaths would be the people up in arms at those mocking the dead billionaire celebrities.

    Sad that Muricans are conditioned to hate the rich for being rich, yet idolize the rich and famous because they're famous. Most Americans are complicit with the power celebrities have had, specifically usurping the Catholic church for the biggest threat to sexual and child rape.

    Depends on the celebrities maybe. I'd probably still be calling them pretty stupid the way I call people who die on Everest stupid.
