OceanGate is still advertising expeditions to the Titanic wreckage on its website

OceanGate, a deep-sea adventure company, is listing two missions to the Titanic shipwreck in June 2024.

….yeah, something tells me there won’t be too many takers for those.

32

Something tells me the web team quit and nobody has the password to update the site yet.

Ever since the incident, their marketing team has been under a lot of pressure...

That's not funny. There are people out there who were absolutely crushed by this situation.

I want to sub for more of these jokes

I just don't see the humor in people losing loved ones. If it were me going through it, honestly, I think my whole life would just implode.

C'mon @ivanafterall. You can't go so hard on users. They're just getting their feet wet in the Fediverse and your tone could make them feel they can't have a submersible experience into the new culture. Then again, your comment won't be lost in a vast ocean of noise.

Probably, yes, the site is up but no one has touched it since the disaster

You don’t even need a submersible craft to visit the site.

As long as you only want to go once!

Ooh! Count me in!

Their website leaves a lot of unanswered questions for potential customers, though. For example, am I guaranteed a quick, painless death or will I suffer? How much warning is there before the collapse? During the descent, how long will it take for the interior to smell like "I'm about to die" farts?

At crush depth, “limited space available” takes on a new meaning.

It's all a matter of perspective. When you tear down a wall in a house, you don't lose space. They gained an entire ocean worth of space, if you're a glass half-full kind of person. And to their credit, they weren't content with just half-full.

The ultimate Titanic experience : see the wreckage and experience being a wreck.

As a web developer, I would have been updating my resume and getting out of there, rather than worrying about the site content. Someone in C-Suite is gonna have to call the hosting provider.

Great! Any profit they make off them can be used toward recompensating the Coast Guard.....because of the......y'know......

Expeditions to the Titanic. They don't say anything about coming back.
