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?
Highly doubt it. I’ve been watching coverage and it seems pretty unlikely they will be found before their oxygen runs out (assuming they are even still alive and haven’t died as a result of an implosion).
What irks me with all the coverage, however, is that no one is pointing out the potential harm to all the people involved in trying to rescue these people. The Coast Guard and other outfits undertaking the rescue attempts are put in danger the whole time they are out there. And of course there’s the cost involved as well.
That’s the coast guards job isn’t it? Should we just let people die without attempting to save them just because it’s costly?
No but I believe there should be consequences for things like this if they are found alive.
There will absolutely be consequences for the company, no matter if they are found alive
Howso?
Because their negligence either killed a bunch of people or at the very least cost a shitton of money
Bold of you to assume billionaires face consequences
