A search is underway for a missing submersible that carries people to view the wreckage of the Titanic. Canadian officials say the five-person submersible was reported overdue Sunday night about 435 miles south of St. John's, Newfoundland. The search is being led by the U.S. Coast Guard. The owner of the ship that launched the submersible confirmed that it was operated by OceanGate Expeditions. That company has been operating annual voyages since 2021 to the wreckage of the iconic ocean liner. In a statement, the company said it is working to bring the crew back safely.
What I dont get is that one of the passangers was a billionaire. He could have built himself the fanciest and safest vessel for a few Million Dollars with a whole naval operation attached. Of course thats a lot more than 250K but still nothing for a billionaire.
These people are so out of touch and greedy its insane.
It goes to prove that billionaires are just as gullible as the rest of the people, all they had was just money and assets, it doesn’t grant them wisdom or intelligence.
Why do that when you can cut costs, and how would it be possible for them not to ensure their safety? I don’t think they cut costs like the clients, I don’t think they would put lites at risk just for the sake of some extra dollars to the pocket of the CEO. /s

That much money must give you incredible hubris: up until this point you’ve never had a problem that money couldn’t fix (or ease) for you.
Unfortunately, you can’t bribe physics.
I’ve never thought about it this way before. You’ve given me empathy for billionaires; thanks, I hate it!
Goes to further prove that it doesn’t take brains to become a billionaire, I guess
