The Titanic

I think Godzilla ate it

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

pretty safe form of travel by comparison

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.

Shame he wasn't broadcasting live from it the lycra clad nonce

Again, the risk is nowhere near remotely comparable.

Planes are nowhere near as risky as this lol. You have more chance dying driving to work statistically than air travel.

Yes he is indeed a tool, but the persons speaking were interesting and knowledegable on the subject

Ok, so because it is statistically safer to fly then go in a submarine it makes the sympathy for deaths less.Got it.

Surely there is some sort of tracker attached to the Sub so they can be located if they do surface?

Inside the vessel

Reminds me of a kid around the corner from where I lived.
He built mini caravans in his back yard (our brains squeeze memories somewhat, but definitely call these being truly impressive for a kid to build).

Like he's built it from items via Screwfix and a car boot sale on a Sunday morning.
Absolutely no chance on earth I'd get in that, even if it never say foot in the ocean.

I think the sympathy quotient is directly proportional to the recklessness factor
