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?

    Folks, the Titan submersible is a capsule that travelers are sealed into ** from the outside.** The passengers could be adrift on the surface, the air could run out, and they could theoretically suffocate on the surface. It’s locked with bolts from the outside. Yeah, the 96 hours of oxygen could be stretched if the passengers conserved their oxygen. That is, if they are not a part of the debris field that was located near the Titanic. Each passing minute now is increasingly likely to change this from rescue to recovery.

    Calling it Titan and having it going to the Titanic is quite a coincidence, especially as both seem to be ending tragically. Calling the Company OceanGate (with the -gate suffix being tied to scandals like Gamergate, Contragate, Pizzagate, Partygate, Chinagate, Deflategate, Watergate, etc.) is quite a coincidence too. That little conspiracy theorist inside my head wonders if they aren’t somehow related, like a group suicide pack wanting to be remembered for being brave or something. It’s probably just two weird coincidences, but boy howdy is this weird.
