Cool
If only these people didn’t have so much money to waste, they’d be safe. Karma?
Well, it is like space exploration. There are scientists, engineers and those who dream to be them. It is just part of humanity that we love going on adventures, that’s the same for rich and poor. Only that some are more risk tolerated and some less
This man is not a scientist, engineer, or anyone with any social value whatsoever.
He might fund people who are though (…though I wish we didn’t have a system that would need that…)
Well anyone ‘could’ fund anything, but this guy has made his fortune on private jets, him dying is almost certainly a good thing for the world. Imagine how much damage.
The company that provides these tours uses the money to also perform scientific research on the Titanic.
What ‘scientific research’ is there that needs to be done on the Titanic in 2023? That’s an obvious smokeshow.
So it’s not all bad news
Oh dear.
Anyway…
Can you explain how this counts as news, @hikarulsi@lemmy.world?
This is massively insulting to the rest of the people onboard as well, who are not mentioned in the article from what I saw.
Sixty people die when Russia bombs a Ukrainian school and it passes by without much reaction. A sub with 4 people who know the risk of what they’re doing and a billionaire thrill seeker goes missing and it’s news to follow hourly.
I’m only following to make sure he’s really dead. The world could use less billionaires
While true, his billions aren’t going to be distributed to the poor, a dead billionaires money goes to a dead billionaires family who probably deserves the money even less but feel owed the money even more than he did.
there could be a hefty inheritance tax. you never know
