According to other sources a worker of the company was fired, because he pointed out that the windows weren't certified for these depths

You mean you don't want to spend $250K to be entombed in the ocean?

The fact that they used what looked to be an Xbox controller to navigate the sub, the consent forms for this "experimental" tour, and the fact that I would never be able to afford the ticket anyway would be a pass for me. I'm hoping they're found alive tho.

US Navy subs use X-Box contollers.

A few militaries do now. Why spend thousands on r&d for a bespoke controller the user has to learn and adjust to when you can spend $40 and get the same (or better) result.

I read somewhere yesterday that it's actually a converted PlayStation controller...

u/Puzzled-Copy7962 Jun 20 '23
I’m honestly not even surprised at this point. Tho someone in the comment section said it was logi-tech. I saw that they had a tablet there too.

Please, please news media. Stop calling this a ‘mission.’ It was a $250K per person experience that only the ultra/wealthy would sign on for.

One of the very few times I’m glad my cracker ass is broke and can’t afford shit like this.

Even if I was a billionaire I would not fucking go down in that thing. Instead I’d throw a big party and buy your cracker ass a nice house with loads of drugs and hookers in it

Important safety tip: ALWAYS charge your PlayStation controllers BEFORE you visit the titanic!

meanwhile, inflation and housing prices are out of control, climate change is becoming more severe, there's a gun violence pandemic but... yes, let's forget all of that and worry about finding 5 rich dudes that got lost trying to dive down to see the fucking titanic. 🤷♂️

Could not care much less - only just enough care to read this comment section.

u/PercentageWise8046 Jun 20 '23
Don’t understand why they don’t have a security system that can be deployed and make the sub come up to the surface

u/Intelligent_Radish15 Jun 20 '23
I read that it had 7 different ways it could rise to the surface, including an emergency airbag that would inflate like a balloon. This is bad.

Using tax paying money to save tax evading folks. Should be the private companies problem.

Definitely not trying to lack empathy but imagine having the kind of money to change the world/help lives and instead you choose to spend 250k to go see a ship on the bottom of the ocean that's being controlled by a knock off console controller.

I hear that the millionaires son is very, very upset. He misses all the small things. He just wants to tell his dad, "I miss you". He keeps asking people what age he is and if he can make it last forever, and ever, lets make this last forever.
His son's at a Blink 182 show.

I can't imagine learning the specs of this craft and thinking, "yeah that's a good idea, here's my $250k."
If it's that easy I still have ocean front property in Arizona for sale, can't beat the price or location!

So the billionaire went to space, whatever deepass trench in the ocean, and now titanic? Bro, do some good with all that money instead of using it as tp.

u/Optimal_Locke Jun 20 '23
Oh no, a bunch of rich assholes got lost underwater!?! Anyways, in other news, the world is burning down around us. Let's focus on the shit that really matters, not some rich chucklefucks at the bottom of the ocean.

I heard there was a billionaire onboard, wouldn’t be surprised if this turns out to be a scheme to inherit all the cheddar from them

I heard Joe Rogan and his producer is on it. That’s why it’s so hush hush now.

What could possibly go wrong? Submerging 2.4 miles into the darkness of the ocean at 400+ atmospheres.
