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?

    More mysterious. Spookier. Generally more novel. Like you said, people get lost at sea all the time. People rarely get lost thousands of miles below sea.

      Nah, it’s only 4km. If they weren’t lazy billionaires, they’d get out and walk home.

      One thing I can say is if they ever do find the sub intact, its very likely these guys recorded their last hours on their phones and we are very likely to see that at some point… talk about nightmare fuel.

      thousands of miles below sea.

      No wonder they can’t be found—they have sunk to the fucking core of the planet :'D

        Haha oops, I am dumb. I apparently have no concept of the scale of the earth. I read an infographic and read meters as kilometers which is then head converted to miles. Off by quite a magnitude.
