    What I dont get is that one of the passengers was a billionaire. He could have built himself the fanciest and safest vessel for a few Million Dollars with a whole naval operation attached. Of course thats a lot more than 250K but still nothing for a billionaire. These people are so out of touch and cheap its insane.

      It goes to prove that billionaires are just as gullible as the rest of the people, all they had was just money and assets, it doesn’t grant them wisdom or intelligence.

        That much money must give you incredible hubris: up until this point you’ve never had a problem that money couldn’t fix (or ease) for you.

        Unfortunately, you can’t bribe physics.

          I’ve never thought about it this way before. You’ve given me empathy for billionaires; thanks, I hate it!

      Why do that when you can cut costs, and how would it be possible for them not to ensure their safety? I don’t think they cut costs like the clients, I don’t think they would put lites at risk just for the sake of some extra dollars to the pocket of the CEO. /s

      Goes to further prove that it doesn’t take brains to become a billionaire, I guess
