I wonder how many people who paid $250,000 to be on that sub had ever even been to Newfoundland before...
Those North Atlantic waters are very treacherous, cold, and unforgiving.
No way I'd ever go down there.
The sub is 22 ft. long and there are 5 people on it.
Totally insane.
Worst NFLD winter in 40 years eh? They have to get icebreaker ships up there, tons of ice forms on the water. If it's the worst winter in 40 years, I doubt it was even safe yet.
So there's at least one billionaire aboard as well as the CEO of the submersibles company itself...
Spooky considering the fact that the Titanic was purposely taken out in order to kill some of the most powerful men in the world who were on board at the time...

This is the submersible...
That's Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate, who was onboard the Titan submersible when it went missing.
That thing is ridiculously tiny. Couldn't pay me enough.
The ocean is eating the wreckage, he said it's a bacteria.
That's pretty fascinating, but not interesting enough to go look at it.
People who wanna go look at that stuff are just morbid.
