Man, I get nervous just thinking about being in a sub that size (hell......any sub, really). frick all of that. All of it. I'll just look at the pics and watch the video. That will suffice, I don't need to see it in person.

Those people have a death wish. The same as people getting in single-engine planes AKA Dr Killers

They loved the Titanic so much that they went and died on the Titanic. That's fandom to the extreme.

I don't even see the appeal.
Yay, let's ride in a cramped small sub of questionable safety to look at a rusting boat underwater.
Neat.

A commercial airplane is pretty big but the bathroom is vv small. Can you imagine the potty on a submersible?

If the missing submersible is Cyclops 2, the hull mixes titanium end caps with a carbon fiber cylinder and acrylic viewports. That seems far less safe at great depths than simpler titanium spheres. For most purposes remotely operated vehicles (ROV) pioneered by the offshore oil industry are the safe way to work deep. A term used for very deep manned submersible work is "Working Beyond Rescue".

Sure, if you're the pilot. Otherwise it just means you had enough money to buy a ticket.

F that noise. Submarines are an absolute no go.

A 3 hour tour…

If they can confirm that 5 people were onboard, they should be able to find out how long the submarine has been missing.

Karen probably opened the door after someone told her not to.

The pressure at a depth of 2.5 miles is about 400 atmospheres, 400 times the pressure on the surface and equivalent to half a tonne per square centimeter.
At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi on the body.
(400 x 14.7) = 5,880 psi on that sub. Almost 3 tons per square inch.
