For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires’ son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).

They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They’ve been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they’ll make it?

      You fuckin know it lmao I was just reading on Twitter how they’re sending up a c-130 and some special military submersible to help with the search. Who’s paying for that? 🤷🏻‍♂️

        Taxpayers, of course 😶 Meanwhile the EU turns a blind eye to people drowning in crappy boats escaping crappy places to get to a better country.

          And it’s pretty excellent training for future search and rescue missions.

          That’s one of the major benefits the military gets out of this sort of operation.

          Lessons learned in this scenario may later save the lives of submariners, even if the billionaires aren’t so lucky.
