    There's a chance they are still freezing to death down there, getting really sleepy by now

      The news has been reporting banging sounds being heard every 30 minutes or so. So it sounds like they're still alive and stuck down there, in a dark, cramped metal can, victims of their own hubris, unable to move, too deep for rescue, contemplating their impending deaths from asphyxiation when their air runs out less than 24 hours from now.

      I'd almost feel bad for them if they hadn't brought this on entirely on their own lmao.

        I don't buy the noises thing. If you're gonna make banging noises you'd do it in a pattern or tune that is very obviously human. Shit makes a lot of banging under the sea, rocks, things crashing into the side of the titanic from current. Without a noise having a pattern like SOS in morse code or a the typical jaunty door knock tune I call bullshit on these sounds being human.

          Yeah now that you mention it I do think it's more likely that the news media is reporting on the underwater banging sounds just to pretend like they're not dead and milk this news event for as long as they can. Still, it's nice to have that ray of hope that at least some billionaires are experiencing a fraction of the prolonged suffering they inflict on poor people, rather than just an instant, agonizing death.

        I doubt the banging thing. For one, they're REALLY deep. For another, you can communicate in Morse code with banging.
