Subway, the popular sandwich chain, faced criticism after a sign at one of its Georgia stores appeared to make light of the tragic implosion of the Titan submersible. The Titan submersible, which was descending to the ocean floor to view the wreckage of the Titanic, suffered a catastrophic implosion resulting in the death of all five people onboard. The sign at the Subway restaurant in Rincon, Georgia, read “Our subs don’t implode,” drawing backlash for its insensitivity. Subway has since removed the sign and issued a statement expressing disapproval of the comment.

I understand that. I still don’t like it.

Humorous. However, Subway sandwiches are empty inside for the most part.
