Every time they do.

... we now interrupt our regular coverage for a four hour special... Wolf Blitzer: the Titanic submarine billionaire tragedy.

Maybe the alpha billionaire killed everybody right away, That's 5X the oxygen for him!!
Nobody becomes a billionaire because of their generosity kindness and self-sacrifice...

That's going to make the Netflix series difficult to pace for 6 episodes x 3 seasons.

Nah, they’ll start with his childhood and how his mother kept her mouth shut as his father drank too much and locked him in the pantry when he didn’t win the science fair.

Jokes on you guys, the billionaire has been dabbling in transhumanism and gave himself gills already. He’s halfway to Sealand by now to live out his libertarian fantasies.

Seems like the guy running the operation didn't take safety and redundancy very seriously.

Thanks, that was good.

I sometimes make bad decisions.

Every time someone gets lost, hurt or killed around here (especially if they aren't "local") someone complains about SAR costs. I feel the same as you, heck I don't even make bad decisions really. Sometimes you just slip.

Just title it "Titani: The Way of Water."

Will they start to have sub tours of the missing sub when they find it?

I suggest if they do find this sub on the seafloor, they just leave it like they leave the bodies on Mt. Everest. What's the point of hauling up dead people. From backcountry skiers to billionaire submariners, leaving the bodies where they are would serve as a warning for every other person who wishes to tempt fate.

Maybe a Netflix behind the scenes type show.

CAn you imagine what the local roads would look like if they just swept the debris off the shoulder and left the remnants of fatal car crashes? JFC, that would be scary.

That's not a terrible idea. As long as they can remove the pollutants.

Well, fortunately the cost (and risk) to remove a dead body from the side of the NJ Turnpike pales in comparison to whatever is going on here. They leave the dead deer there though as a warning to other deer.

I think we may be missing something here.

You get yourself a nice septic tank, culvert type thing. Put in some carpet, a game controller, an lcd screen in a circle on one end and a camp shitter at the other.

You take this sucker out in the ocean, throw some billionaires on it, shake it around a bit, play some b-roll from the titanic on the lcd screen, spray it with water and let them out after a couple hours.

That'll be $150,000 please.

Up sell to the "your-life-is-in-danger-so-this-is-a-real-adventure"(tm) package and keep them rocking for an extra day or two.

Basically a crappier version of Disneyland's undersea adventure for way more money!

They do the same with refugees.

If someone offered me 250k to hop in a tiny homemade sub and descend to 12,000 feet below sea leel , I would politely say "no thanks"
