If I had a quarter of a million dollars burning a hole in my pocket I could think of a lot of better ways to spend it than hop in that death trap.  It’s sad that those folks died but this nonsense of the rich becoming thrill seekers on adventures like this is crazy.  It’s only a matter of time before one of those rides into space by Elon and his competitors goes kaboom too.  I read an article the other day noting how much attention was placed on this submersible story while the recent sinking of a boat in the Mediterranean resulted in the deaths of how many migrants looking for a better life barely made the back page news. We truly live in a screwed up world.
