Well that is a new update from earlier reports. They had 72 hours of air. Maybe hope for them afterall.

Dumbest tourist idea ever!!

HOLY SPIRIT knows where they are. PRAY.

[Round Earther]

With only 72 hours left to be found, they are under a lot of pressure.

The titan can reach depths of 4000 meters.

“This sounds like a bad idea. Let’s do it!”

Dumbest tourist idea ever!!

What about the 'space tourism' that Virgin Atlantic will be doing soon?

Make that US Coast Guard stationed in Boston.

The upside told here is that the submersible used has 96 hours of life support for it’s 5 passenger capacity. The downside is that panic is known to cause people experiencing it to hyperventilate and use up air in a third of that maximum 96 hours. Do not know from this is the 96 hours relies on full power being present and if heat is included as it gets very cold at serious depths and death can come from hypothermia, as many of the Titanic’s victims found out. Prayers for good outcome here.

But I’m told repeatedly that billionaires = smart. 🤔

A close second.

[Zuriel]

Yes, I hope so as well.

But if they are saved, have the billionaire pay the costs of the rescue.

This isn’t like the Titanic, which was simply ferrying people across the ocean. These were folks taking an adventure into a very dangerous environment.

[desertsolitaire]

The screen door feature was just dumb.

[dfwgator]

I think there was also a professor and a movie star on board.

[TexasFreeper2009]

recently becoming a billionaire seems to be closely related to having a death wish.

Hamish has gone on quite a few explorations including space.
