Hopefully everyone comes back safe.

Yes, a bad day for some tourists for sure.

If I could I would have been on that submarine, probably a good thing the $250,000 price tag prevents that. I hope its found and ok, but at those depths and missing since last night things don't sound good. The Titanic's final toll I fear...

I saw the headlines for the sub, buy yikes. I figured it was one of those remote controlled things they use for searches.

They estimate they have 96 of air. Time is passing too quickly.

I hadn't heard about the theme park. This incident with the mini sub is scary. I don't know why the obsession with the Titanic. I know it's a very famous tragedy, but I don't think there is anything to learn from studying it. I may be wrong.

You are probably right, I just would love to see the deep ocean bottom for myself. No need for a wreck, but that might make it a little more interesting.

For those that can afford the $25,000, $250,000, this is likely to be able to brag that they did it, not to learn anything new. It would be quite the adventure.

It would be quite the adventure.

It would be, one I would like to have. However the cost was $250,000...

OceanGate charges $250,000 a seat for expeditions to the Titanic https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65953872

Not that I would have gone at $25,000...

 

[Myrtle]

I would not have gone on that trip if you paid me $250,000. It seems like a good decision at this point.

These are the kind of things that happen in the world when someone out there begs God for a miracle and God grants it. Have a nice day.
