ooh, can we get Bezos and Musk on this one?
Not yet. The submarine should do 2-3 tours before we get musk and Bezos in, since then its more likely to break.
Nice, lull the billionaires into a false sense of security....then squish!
All the cool billionaires will do it.
Just saying.
Not all…
Not so kind he won't slap his name on any product he can in order to make more money.
Don't get me wrong, he does good things, but a lot of the good things he does are done in order to make him more money than he gives out.
He also says some super sketchy things about his finances.

This person goes into a lot of detail about why he's not anywhere near as good as he sounds.

Is it me or is that an identical link?
The previous one was missing a letter.
There are a lot of nice billionairs out there. You never hear of them.
Nope. It's literally impossible to become and remain a billionaire without a ton of abusive behavior.
So you're saying he's abusive?
Yeah. Do you have any idea how much societal damage money hoarding does across the world?
Tens of millions of people dying needlessly every year from lack of resources hoarded by a few people who'll never be able to spend it all.
And that's not even getting into all the underpaid and overworked people who have acted as anonymous stepping stones on his path to obscene overabundance.
Or the fact that the richest 10% in the world, which includes all billionaires, are responsible for 48 times as many tons of CO
2per capita as the other 90%I wouldn't count Mr Beast as abusive. But have it your way.
He just got rich because he's very good at what he's doing. He didn't have to abuse anyone for that. Maybe you are not good enough to be as rich as he is. Have you considered that?
Ok...they can go on the second submarine to the Titanic
Nice, all the billionaires should get in the idiot squisher
Sounds dangerous. Should take Musk and Bezos along so their genius can save him in case anything goes wrong.
Don’t forget to take Rupert Murdoch and Julian Sinclair with them.
Throw in Charles koch, the Devos family, her brother erik prince, .... how many can fit in this thing again?
They can fit a lot of clowns in a phone booth. Should be plenty of room for quite a few people.
As many angels can dance on the head of a pin
Someone, once again, has the opportunity to do the funniest thing imaginable
Sounds like this sinkhole is a non-trivial dive, but depth-wise it's only 200 meters. Pressure vessel engineering should not be the limiting factor. Also, for whatever reason, this guy left OceanGate in 2013.
If they use CF composites again, it doesn’t matter. They have a limited lifespan and will eventually fail from the load cycles of diving and coming back up.
Which is why nobody else uses CF in pressure hulls. It’s a ticking time bomb with no way to properly validate integrity.
They won't. They will use two Triton submersibles, the market leader that builds submersibles for a long time. They are not going to build their own fever dream.
Not to mention the Expedition leader left Ocean gate over 10 years ago.
This is not interesting at all and is click bait that shouldn't even make the news section.
I mean... If I was gonna.,... I'd use triton, too.
We can hope they fall behind maintenance schedules, though. (Also, the last one was their own fever dream... made of CF. Just saying.)
I figured something was odd when the expedition page didn't have pictures of the submersible on it, and just mention it in one sentence somewhere.
Edit: Waybackmachine Was a relevation
Also:
I think I take back my initial statement
For anyone curious Here is Triton's website
And photos of few. The first is meant to go straight to the bottom.
That's a bit different depth than the Titanic at 12K feet.
What can we do to get this guy to design SpaceX's Mars capsule and then put Elon on it?
Okay, so. How much trouble would we get in if he bought Trump and a couple others a trip with a gofundme?
Or do you think the secret service would stop him?
Trump too small to fit in one of these.
Livestream it this time. We can record it and watch an implosion in slo-mo.
You ok? It might be time to take a break; do the whole grass touchy thing. Take a deep breath even.
Maybe it's the arrogant billionaires who need to touch some plant life before they destroy them with their greedy selfish plundering of the planet?
They certainly need to pay for their crimes, but live-streaming their gruesome deaths for entertainment purposes is a step too far.
What is gruesome about instant annihilation?
How deep does grass grow?
While we're at it, the Beegees have a question for you
♪Lightning is striking again♪
♪Lightning is striking again and again and again and again♪
Make sure your affairs are in order. Have a nice trip!
Okay guys, maybe the is a contradiction in capitalism that make it collapse. It just append to be toxic masculinity
I don’t think he’s anywhere near finished carving the submersible
Not the wisest idea.
Are they still using COPV’s? The engineer in me needs to know.
Have you or someone you love been killed in an under water vehicle? You may be entitled to compensation!
Look at this submarine chaser over here
Can ya fit a few more billionares in there this time?
