Wow - those tourists paid $250,000 to be on that submersible.

It reads like there are no tourists on this trip, just crew. Or the firm is cruel in only caring about retrieving the crew.

I felt like they were calling the passengers crew as like, an umbrella term? The one guy I've seen named is a tech billionaire.

It reads like this 'tragedy' is marketing to other people that have a quarter million dollars for a submarine ride.

Hopefully this incident kills the entire notion of extreme vacationing.. but it probably wont
