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?
That’s the coast guards job isn’t it? Should we just let people die without attempting to save them just because it’s costly?
No but I believe there should be consequences for things like this if they are found alive.
There will absolutely be consequences for the company, no matter if they are found alive
Howso?
Because their negligence either killed a bunch of people or at the very least cost a shitton of money
Bold of you to assume billionaires face consequences
This rescue effort will cost far more than a regular rescue—a washed to sea boat, or someone overboard. This company charges huge amounts and is wilfully ignorant when it comes to safety and regulation. They, and anyone who agreed to their terms have to shoulder the blame for this.
Unfortunately this is what we are doing every day.
Hundreds of migrants are dying trying to cross the Mediterranea.
I’m not saying we should let these billionaire dire, but I feel a bit uneasy with the fact that hundred if thousands of dollars are being spent, plus people are putting their life at risk to rescue a bunch of billionaire that wanted a bit of an adrenaline rush, while on the other side people are getting the atrocity of war or their conditions and we let them die in some cases.
