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?
Tax payers already paid for the damn thing… We might as well get some use out of it.
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 operation may later save the lives of submariners, even if the billionaires aren’t so lucky.
