Other passengers ending up surviving for a full month after deciding "we'll eat him first"..... :twisted:

Eat the rich. But the others there are also rich, so there is some moral conflict.

But I doubt they survived. Read a report that an engineer was fired because he told news people that the subs were not rated for that depth.

I'd off the owner first, to save oxygen.

And apparently the observation port on the sub was only rated to a depth of 1300m, not the 3800m it was expected to be used at. Makes me wonder if it was a compression fatigue failure, like what happened with De Haviland Comet way back when.

Gonna be whack when the same sorts of things happen with SpaceX and Virgin Galactic. There's no doubt that the billionaires in charge there are also completely contemptuous of the sort of government design & engineering standards that are in place for their hobby pursuits as well. Turns out that John Galt's mentality really isn't something that should be guiding things of this sort. Dare to dream, you Randian buckeroos. Enjoy all the Dolan's Cadillac scenarios that begin to happen to you. Cost-cutting on certain very important things won't walk very well at all hand-in-hand with your unending arrogance.

If the craft was descending at 9-13m/minute, that would line up 105*13=1365m (t*s=d).

Then again, maybe the answer to the mystery is more of a declaration of interspecies war....

You'd think a couple of billionaires would have made sure the sub they were on was state-of-the-art, not a metal tube controlled by a Playstation controller.

Yep, this is both ironic and tragic, and just goes to show that some regulations are necessary.

Perhaps they should work harder to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

You can probably tell, I have little sympathy for billionaires that die by their self inflicted cheapness.

Oh great, somehow Blink 182 gets dragged into this mess. Hopefully that sub stays together for the kids....

Things I don't get:
SUBMARINE - can travel distances on it's own
SUBMERSIBLE - requires a mothership and is either tethered to it or autonomous and can travel very short distances
WHICH IS IT?
If it's the latter
- why this big search? It should be close to mothership
- How in hell can a commercial operation not have the proper equipment on the surface vessel to locate, ensure communication & perform some rescues?

I also know that radio waves do not go through water. The US Navy uses VeryLowFrequency (is that even available to civilians?) or surface buoys the sub deploys to communicate. Where's one for this sub.
Guess what tour company is next to be sued into oblivion.
