Out of those five things, my guess would be that it imploded since signals stopped about an hour after they departed. Apparently, the oxygen ran out about 4am this morning. If they’re dead, I’d hope for the implosion. That’d have been quick and they probably wouldn’t have felt much, if anything at all. I can’t stand to see that or know that someone suffered.

I checked this morning and they’re saying they should still have some oxygen left. Either way, it’d take too long to pull them up if they found the vessel.

Anytime you have to sign a waiver to ride on something someone built, that person doesn’t believe in their own product. That in itself should have told the passengers that the cons outweigh the pros. The next billionaires that decide to partake in an abomination like this one, maybe they’ll think again.

Think the company folds at this point, with the founder gone?

It won’t fold because he’s gone, it’ll fold because nobody else is going to be dumb enough to pay to use their subs anymore. Cheap bastards.
