It’s not that shocking really. As well as the utter hell they will be going through, at some point I’m sure they would have wondered what the fuck they were thinking to go in what looks like the most shitty sub out there, for that much money, to see a ship wreck.
The waiver says the word ‘death’ 3 times. The risk was there for them all to see. And for the guy who has took his teenage son, well he’s a bit stupid isn’t he.

I'm saving my 'sympathy' for the 'Migrant boat sinks off Greece' thread when somebody suitably upset by it starts one.

Got no sympathy for them. It's the price sometimes paid for having an 'adventure'.
So you never get a plane anywhere ?
Lets not pretend the two are even remotely comparable.So you never get a plane anywhere ?

Why not ? Because they paid a lot more than the average joe for an adventure?
Most taking planes for holidays are doing exactly the same and taking a risk with their lives

Some interesting facts from those in the know on both the sub and how to find it on the Jeremy Vine radio show just now.
Some bloke who has done the trip in it explained that once they hit bottom they knew they were within 500metres of essentially a giant scrap yard and steel debris field, but they had no way of knowing how close or in which direction due to the pitch darkness there. He described it as just scrabbling around on the ocean floor for an hour and half looking for something.
Sounds fucking ludicrous, and predictably lethal.
If stuck on the seabed they are stuck waiting for a rescue that is virtually impossible. If they have popped up its a needle in a haystack and then it needs conditions to be such that someone can be physically able to undo the bolts that seal it.
