Sounds like they tried to find it themselves. Expect lawsuits and criminal charges at some point.

Or more like (if the reports that the CEO was onboard) they waited it out thinking the communication issue was not enough for the tour to turn back, and a routine tour is around 8 hours.

There definitely should have been more support services on the scene, but for the most part, these people would always be on their own.

It was Juneteenth during Pride Month…
There wasn’t anyone in the offices nor anyone willing to leave the festivities on this important national day of joy and celebration.

I do not give a shit about a shitty sub and some sand niggers.

Couple of white billionaires were on there too.

What the fuck was the Coast Guard going to do.

EXACTLY. It would have taken them 8 hours just to get their shit together and get over there. But the point is they after 20 or 30 minutes, it's time to pick up the phone and call some people.

The only people with DSRV rescue capabilities are the Navy, and the DSRV is kept on the West Coast in San Diego.

The USN has a DSRV in Groton,Conn.

They decommissioned the East Coast DSRV a few years ago. It's now a museum exhibit at Wood's hole.

Oh NO,Thanks for the update!

The DSRV's are getting up there in years. I believe they were built in the early 80's using 70's technology.

They only go down to 4912ft according to wiki.

Sad,those folks are lost.

That’s got to be meters cause the titanic is 12,500 ft.

In that case it's either Gilligan's Island or The Abyss.

Conspiracy thought. So these billionaires onboard, did someone want to get rid of any of them? What kind of stuff were they doing in their regular lives?

[ - ] ItsOk2bArian 0 points 11 monthsJun 22, 2023 07:39:40 ago (+0/-0)

They're billionaires, I want to get rid of them and I don't even know the fuckas. You don't become a billionaire without at least a few enemies and jealous rivals. Has anyone checked into their exwives?

Who cares
