200+ migrants died on a capsized vessel and the Greek Coast Guard did not help. But yeah, I should really care about these five super rich people.

Someone died once somewhere and therefore we shouldn't care when other people might also die

Good contribution to the thread

“A team out of the UK named Magellan has an ROV rated for 6,000 meters which is loaded on a plane and ready and waiting to help,” the email stated. “BUT THE US GOV and USCG have not yet given them permits to participate!”

Good ol bureaucracy.

For those who didn't read the article - The Coast Guard does not have the equipment to even go deep enough. By now they're tourists are probably dead, but there will be no rescue or retrieval of the submarine without outside help

Doesn't the sub have 96 hours of air or something?

As an emergency supply, yes. However, it is unclear how much of it is left. People/news quote hour estimations, but it is anyone's guess really. People in panic consume more oxygen. Additionally, it is still unclear what happened. For example, if they had a leak, they will probably have different problems than oxygen.

Let's just hope that they manage to find them, at least in those 96 hours.

If they are not on the surface finding them is not the hardest part...
