“The Titanic sunk 111 years ago. Yet it is still claiming victims.”
I don’t know. That’s kind of an insult to the real victims of the sinking of the Titanic...who had no choice but to die. These people on the sub willingly put their lives on the line. For a thrill and an adrenaline rush, apparently. Not at all the same. If anything is still claiming victims...it’s the level of stupidity that some people have. And that is, apparently, as endless as infinity.
A lot of people are praying for the lives down there in that mini-sub now. If they are rescued, let’s pray that they have learned a valuable lesson and will not risk their lives again in the future. If not, let’s pray that others will take note of this incident and learn from it.

That’s a rather odd statement. The poor folks on the mini-sub are most probably dead. And they are dead because the situation is what it is. That is a statement of fact. No Titanic = no deaths on any mini-sub.
However, you do have a point. The passengers on the Titanic did have a choice. They surely did. They willingly boarded the ship. But they did not see any risk, because were told that there was no risk. The Titanic was unsinkable. It was foolish to believe that. No ship is unsinkable.
I suppose that the folks on the mini-sub were also told that there was no risk. It was also foolish to believe that. Way more foolish than believing that the Titanic was unsinkable.
That’s a bit harsh.
