These guys are dead dead.

Love the quote tweets.

paying a quarter million dollars to get crushed to death with 4 other dumb broads in a sewer pipe. next time just go to saint tropez

$250,000

takes 12 hours

it's about the size of a king-size bed

no windows

you take turns looking out of a 10" porthole at the faint outline of the shipwreck

if they can find it

sometimes they can't find it

Even if everything did go right and this didn’t sink the idea that anyone would pay $250k to spend TWELVE HOURS IN THIS THING with four other people is fucking insane. I am not claustrophobic at all and this is fully nuts.

    They got 96 hrs of life support, apparently. Here’s hoping.

      Yeah, 4 days is a decent amount of time to be rescued (assuming they can make it to the surface), but they also said that this dive is probably going to be the only one of its kind for the entire year due to bad weather in the region, and that they started this dive during a gap in bad weather. So depending on how the weather is in the next few days, if they don't find them soon then they honestly might never find them, even if then can both make it back to the surface and replenish their air supply while there.

      I would not want to be part of a search & rescue effort braving a North Atlantic storm just to try a find 5 dumbasses who payed $250K to lock themselves inside a carbon fiber tube for 12 hours lol.

        The chances of them getting found aren't great even in good weather, the ocean is fucking huge and from above you're looking for a tiny speck on the water.

          I grew up within eyeshot of the north Atlantic. It's a scary body of water. Anyone who's out on the open ocean for recreation is a maniac.
