    Sadly this new billionaire stunt will likely have no karmic punchline. They plan on using a real sub, not just a glorified plastic tube.

      The Titanic lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet (3,800 metres) and there are only a handful of subs currently rated to go there. I’d bet money this new ass-clown is going to treat safety the same way the last one did.

        I doubt they will, considering they probably don’t want to die and got a reminder of what recklessness gets you.

            Reading about their ultra-deep submersibles it does sound like they have the specs for it. I probably wouldn’t dare but it doesn’t seem like they’re fucking around like the lunatics on that Logitech controlled imploder
