rich people dream up all the ways they can glorify themselves and waste money....

Half a million would have gone a long way to repair homes in Mississippi...

The descent and return was to take about 8 hours, so it would have been back up by now. I would imagine ships and planes are combing the nearby surface in case that’s what happened.

Maybe the two deep states are actually one, and, the same.

Your bucket list isn’t a list of things to see and do before you die.

It’s a list of things that are going to kill you.

Skydiving, Everest, Titanic ...

Here’s mine: The wreck of the Titanic lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet (3,800 metres; 2,100 fathoms)

12,500 ft PSI 5412.5

Even if it surfaced, they couldn’t open it themselves, Correct?

Any leak developed would mean quick death. The sub is pressurized to 14.7 psi. The water at 12,500 feet is greater than 5,000 psi.

I read it costs $250,000 per pop to go down and see it for yourself.

The biggest worry is they'll run out of air. There's no way to get out of there without someone from outside doing it.

On anything larger than a tiny pinhole, I agree. If there was a catastrophic failure of a seal, they would be turned to jelly almost instantly.

Sudden, catastrophic implosion seems the most likely scenario. At least they died quickly.
