This is all over twitter. People are losing their minds over it! I do wonder if the orcas had anything to do with it... though I'm not sure that's a place they've been hanging lately.

Yes! I got lost down that rabbit hole last night. Apparently the sub is a bit jerryrigged. One of the people on it supposedly is the CEO of the company, and reportedly one of the tourist is a billionaire from Britain. Crazy!

This animation gives me palpitations. Granted I'm a bit claustrophobic but the set up of that submersible seems rickety at best, and to be using it to go down to the Titanic? Absolute insanity.

It's terrible that it's missing. The more I see the more it feels like a hubristic consequence.

And they had a communication loss during last year's voyage, yet never installed a homing beacon or anything.

And even if they come to the surface they have NO WAY of opening the vessel. It is bolted from the outside. 😵💫

JFC. The titanic thing sounds like the plot of a movie. They can't open it from the inside?? No homing beacon?? It all sounds made up and it's really horrible that it's not.

I don't understand the drive to go down there. It's been explored extensively hasn't it? What are they hoping to find? Go tour a castle or something. What the fuck people!

I see they are claiming to document the ecosystem down there on an annual basis, but the heart of it is a quarter of a million cost for those paying for it. It reeks of space race BS for the ultra rich. It’s just so gross, IMO, to profit off of such a tragedy.

Outer space and the bottom of the ocean are two places you will never find me of my own accord.

I was reading about this yesterday and I had to stop because it started freaking me out. Last I read, there is about 48 hrs of oxygen left. Hard pass to pay $250K to die this way.

The live update from 6 minutes ago said 46 hours left. Just absolutely terrifying. I'm so sucked into this even though it gives me anxiety.

I'm not usually so cynical, but I think it's wasted energy waiting to see if they'll find it. It's gone. Maybe in my life time they'll find remnants.

I'm sure they are doing it because most people can't. The rich and all that. Also, the Titanic only has about 7 years remaining before it completely erodes and disappears, so it's not like many people will have the opportunity.

I just wanna know where they poop while they wait to die.
God, it's like straight from a horror movie. Or a psychological thriller.
