     @w7voa this is a crazy situation. They charged these people $250k each to be tourists in that sub. I hope they are okay but also this whole thing seems like it need to be regulated.

     No details yet from Ocean Gate Expeditions about the fate of its missing submersible. The company last posted to social media four days ago. Awaiting info from authorities, including US Coast Guard, as to number of people on board. https://oceangateexpeditions.com/titanic

     @w7voa 700 people drown in the Mediterranean, little or no attempted to rescue them is made. 5 billionaires are lost in the Atlantic, international rescue is alerted. I don't want to live in this world.
