Very wealthy people wasting a huge amount of society's resources to have mild fun doing something very risky then having to get rescued on the back of society at a high cost. I say let the die.

this is a very weird first comment to make and the subsequent comments neither look productive nor particularly on topic. let's save the thirsting for rich people blood for a topic where it's more warranted folks, please and thanks.

But rich blood being spilled is the topic. They took a huge risk only to get more resources deployed to find them.

I'm sorry but saying you'd enjoy watching someone die under any circumstances is disgusting.

Regardless of one's opinion the super rich, the thing also has crew that are just there because they're paid to operate the thing, I doubt they make enough to buy tickets for this kind of thing themselves.
