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 (700 kilometers) south of St. John's, Newfoundland and that 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, which 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.

    Very wealthy people wasting a huge amount of society’s resources to have mild fun doing something very risky then having to get rescued on the back of society at a high cost. I say let’s enjoy watching them die.

      this is a very weird first comment to make and the subsequent comments neither look productive nor particularly on topic. let’s save the thirsting for rich people blood for a topic where it’s more warranted folks, please and thanks.

        But rich blood being spilled is the topic. They took a huge risk only to get more resources deployed to find them.

        At least it evens the score a bit. Yes we should enjoy when rich people meet grisly fates, they’ve literally doomed the rest of us.

        Letting some rich people die doesn’t make any poor people less dead.

      Regardless of one’s opinion the super rich, the thing also has crew that are just there because they’re paid to operate the thing, I doubt they make enough to buy tickets for this kind of thing themselves.

        The best new eco funeral option is human composting, let’s hope they had advance directives to support that industry as well!

          “Ask a Mortician” did a video on what happened to the bodies from the Titanic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHwXhUFQPCk

      Come in if you had the money and were bored you’d totally do it. Maybe even go for the premium extended package they got, with the full sinking-to-your-death experience
