Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Honestly the whole concept comes off as pretty ghoulish to me. Tourism trips to a mass open grave. Like going to Auschwitz for the hell of it and skipping the museum.

I get what you're saying, but I assume these people wanted to see the ship, and had little interest in the thought that people had died on it. As with going to any other wreck honestly, you go to see a cool ship at the bottom of the ocean, not in the hopes of seeing dead people.

That CEO is/was completely insane.

Any examples or links that I could read about him?

No sorry. Watched some videos and he just did not care that his sub was not rated for the depths he was using it on. That's just wild to me. He decided not to have voice communication because he found it annoying. Wild stuff and now he's dead.

there's no one that's as dead as the people on that homemade sub.
