It feels like the Titanic is an irony magnet. It’s like some cosmic force is still really salty that they called it an “unsinkable ship.”
For example, some of the passengers on this missing submarine:
The founder of the submarine company who complained about safety regulations, now lost and trapped in his unsafe vessel.
The Guinness World Record holder for longest time spent traversing the deepest part of the ocean in a single dive will now likely be at the bottom of the ocean forever.
The director of the company who owns the salvage rights to the Titanic, the company that has brought many artifacts to the surface, now likely leaves its director on the ocean floor with the wreckage.
Silver lining is that the CEO reaped what he sowed since he was on board as well. Still tragic though.

Wow. This is so macabre. Crazy to be following this story. Thanks for sharing these details.
Please do not forget there’s a father and 19 year old son onboard. They, the crew, and everyone else do not deserve to die.
Yes, that’s why I said it’s a tragedy regardless. The best outcome is a swift rescue and jail for the CEO.
I still can’t get over the CEO’s name.
Stockton Rush.
Sounds like something out of an Ayn Rand novel.
That and the name of the company already has the scandal suffix. Like it was just waiting to happen.
That is absolutely hilarious
