Do you think the guys on the titanic submarine will be rescued?

For those who are unaware: A couple billionaires, a pilot, and one of the billionaires' son are currently stuck inside an extremely tiny sub a couple thousand meters under the sea (inside of the sub with the guys above).

They were supposed to dive down to the titanic, but lost connection about halfway down. They've been missing for the past 48 hours, and have 2 days until the oxygen in the sub runs out. Do you think they'll make it?

I think they are gone. Safety regulations are a thing for a reason.

There is only so much others can regulate when you are building an inverted rocketship

They are paying their price right now. Other dives have gone much deeper, safer. This guy is a fly by night con guy in my opinion.

Read the Bloomberg piece in him.

By the way used to work a lot in defense procurement. There are a ton of regs they do follow, though they sure as hell don’t care about RoHs for the most part.
