Being instantly crushed to death by water pressure after paying $250k and signing a waiver to load myself into a makeshift submarine built well below safety standards is not exactly the most nightmarish death I can imagine.

There’s a chance they are still freezing to death down there, getting really sleepy by now

Fair enough. Either way, I can find worse ways to die with a five minute tour of wikipedia; no imagination necessary.

The news has been reporting banging sounds being heard every 30 minutes or so. So it sounds like they’re still alive and stuck down there, in a dark, cramped metal can, victims of their own hubris, unable to move, too deep for rescue, contemplating their impending deaths from asphyxiation when their air runs out less than 24 hours from now.

I’d almost feel bad for them if they hadn’t brought this on entirely on their own lmao.

I don’t buy the noises thing. If you’re gonna make banging noises you’d do it in a pattern or tune that is very obviously human. Shit makes a lot of banging under the sea, rocks, things crashing into the side of the titanic from current. Without a noise having a pattern like SOS in morse code or a the typical jaunty door knock tune I call bullshit on these sounds being human.

I doubt the banging thing. For one, they’re REALLY deep. For another, you can communicate in Morse code with banging.

Yeah I feel bad for the kid. But I mean c’mon the waiver even says “yeah you’re going to die, $250k plz”. If I was the kid I’d be like oh fuck no.

The diver was apparently ex-French Navy so no need to feel too bad

It literally feels like something out of like Futurama. A tour to see the Titanic wreckage goes awry due to rich people’s hubris.
