Their deaths haven’t been confirmed yet. And if they are, the bodies are still warm!

Yeah I guess it’s a rich persons folly to visit it, tons of titanic enthusiasts who can’t pay can’t visit it though, don’t get it but whatever.

One thing I do think about it maybe the obsession stems from that the wreck location was only discovered in the 1980s, prior to that it was mostly a mystery.

It’s just a ship that sank 112 years ago and didn’t have enough lifeboats, yeah people died but at this point no one on this earth had a direct connection to them.

Not that many lessons were learnt by it either, considering 737max happened.
