The Missing Submersible

It’s not looking good, but I hope the submersible is found and the five people in it are rescued in time. The lost are wired very differently than me. They paid $250,000/person to descend for hours in a vessel the size of a minivan. The required release references possible “death” three times.

No doubt there is recency bias at work, and maybe I’m claustrophobic, but If OceanGatesExpedition offered me $250,000 to take the plunge, I’d pass.

Postscript: Tragic ending.
