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?
Why are we assuming the CEO is an asshole? The guy is probably about to die, let’s have some class.
Because he has shown himself to be an asshole. A direct quote he once said was “at some point, safety is just pure waste”. https://www.insider.com/missing-titanic-sub-ceo-told-reporter-safety-pure-waste-2023-6
He chose to ignore safety ratings for things like the porthole glass. He’s the one lacking class, playing with lives for money.
There a video linked of him (I think it’s the CEO anyway) laughing as he reads a waiver saying the submersible has not been tested and could result in death and then says where do I sign.

The man reading the waiver and laughing is a reporter named David Pogue, not the CEO.
