    I think he was originally on the door. So that means Rose helped Jack off the door.

    Which billionaire risk would you rather take if you had the money...
    Hop on one of the suborbital "space flights" company ships

    Or

    Take a dive to the bottom of the ocean in a metal tube with one window and controlled by a generic Playstation controller.

    Sure sounds like an awesome vacay!
    Yeah I think it was a later addition. I was trying to get a sense of what the interior was like and came across this video that shows it:

    Would be shitty if the modifications for a toilet led to a hull failure…

    Viewport window was only rated to 1300 meters, they went to 4000 meters.

    I’m hoping for an implosion and instant death.

    I just heard on the radio that the stepson of one of the billionaires posted on Facebook, "my stepdad is lost in a subarine at sea, please send thoughts and prayers"

    And then posted a pic of himself at a Blink-182 concert 15 minutes later.

    you do realize, both of those things could be true at the same time, right?

    Absolutely. It sounds like the appropriate level of concern given the stepson of a billionaire.

    I don’t think we’ve reached the part where he calls the sub captain a pedophile yet

    But I really question whether we should be spending tens of millions of public dollars looking for and trying to recover this thing and the people inside it. Let it rest on the ocean floor just like the damn Titanic they wanted to go see. They made a deliberate choice to get in this thing and take the risk. I’m sure it horrifically sucks but they ought to bear the consequences of that choice. This is so far above and beyond a normal and reasonable activity in which one might hope for or expect rescue.
    I agree. World Food Program going bust. The millions being spent on that rescue could save a lot more than 5 lives. Or maybe the CG is looking at this as a training exercise, hopefully paid for by the company. Still, spend the money on the children of South Sudan. (And let the adults who started that war die.)

    Given the very low temps and oxygen content--no. Anyway, isn't shit already decomnposed to begin with?

    I was on a sub once as a kid. We went to at least 20k leagues iirc. We did it again as we had some of the E tickets left.

    I toured the sub they have next to the USS Intrepid in NYC. That is as close as I would want to get to being submerged under the ocean in a tin can.
