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?
The safety comment reminds me of some of the more irritating things I’ve been told in life about illness. Many people make remarks like “Well it’s not cancer” or “It isn’t going to kill you” as if things are black and white. An illness either kills you or you’re fine, right? Uh, no. The thing this brilliant CEO is missing is that obviously there are degrees of danger. Getting out of bed or getting in my car are measured risks. Taking a rinky-dink submersible to 2 miles underneath the ocean with a cavalier imbecile is a very different class of risk.
