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?

    Yeah it’s a fair point. There’s a different between an amateur doing something stupid without enough research etc…vs billionaires with presumably the resources to do enough homework and take care of themselves, or better, prevent it from happening.

    In general I still think it’s just a really really good idea to NOT make people scared to dial 911 or whatever. Not a hill I’d die on but still super important. Maybe a compromise, some kind of other fine/penalty to the company/estate/survivors from…idk some agency…OSHA maybe lol…
