I think it's staged. You get a bunch of experts on the TV who talk about how there's a "1% chance" of survival. Then tomorrow, against all odds, they're saved! It's a miracle! Then the 4 billionaires get to be in a movie. Or maybe it takes a dark turn and I'm full of shit. Guess we'll see. Maybe they are faking their deaths.

Dark turn it was. Huzzah! I'm glad it happened personally

Sounds like the participants got more than they bargained for. The website said you can "visit one of the most famous shipwrecks" but they instead became a famous shipwreck. I wonder how many decades it's going to take to find the wreck. Finding a 2000ft ocean liner is one thing. Finding a 20 ft submarine that's probably completely buried in the mud is going to be a lot harder.

I just hope the hull imploded and they died instantly. Slowly dying of thirst and oxygen deprivation for a week in a dark cramped space is a hell of a way to go.

You are being very generous calling them a famous shipwreck. They will eternally be overshadowed by the real shipwreck right next to them. They are just having 15 minutes of fame without even being able to enjoy it.
