So, he kissed his 'covid positive' wife goodbye before being put in a air tight submersible with 4 other people. Real smart. Real smart.

It's crazy that the Titanic is still generating headlines 111 years after she sank.

This guy is prime example of how many regular people had no clue what they were getting themselves into with this experimental submersible.

Dude smiled way too much given the current situation!

I am very claustrophobic and afraid of the ocean so this is the ultimate horror story for me. I cannot imagine what these people are going through if they are still alive. Absolutely horrifying.

10 years from now they are going to have expeditions to go down and see this vessel

"Listen ... if I'm spending $250K I want the FULL experience, ok?", said the paying customer

As horrifying as this situation is, I can't help but note they were on a tour to see the wreckage of the Titanic?? Man. *Fate sure does love Irony*

This man that took his child I can’t imagine his mother must be frantic. Hope they all will come home to their love ones.

Anyone else pick up that he kissed his Covid positive wife, then went into a contained space with other people

Reiss looks like he's getting pleasure talking about this incident, or maybe he was born with a permanent smile.

When your life depends on a 30 dollar Logitech controller maybe you should think twice about signing that paper.

I feel sorry for these people and their families. I cant come to grips on the money squandered to do this, each paying at least 250k. Now there is a massive search costing millions all for the follies of the rich. Do something worthwhile with your money if you need to throw it away on crap like this.

Sometimes money can be your worst enemy..

Blows my mind they didn’t have some sort of tracking beacon on board.

This would literally be a nightmare..

I'm surprised the sub didn't have any kind of system that would constantly ping so it'd be easier to find in incase of emergency. I pray all are found

They were bolted in with no way out. Wireless remote, no black box, rescue beacon, emergency back up and basically trusting a vessel that is not highly recommended. This is awful 😞

Wow. Billionaires on board. No expense too great. Hurricane Katrina, they took there time and then housed everyone in an arena.

Had relatives on the Titantic, Amelia and louis Isaac. They both survived. She never went on another boat the rest of her life. She almost died a few days later in NYC hospital. She couldn't talk for 3 months for the trauma. That ocean swallowed up that huge ship and now people gonna tackle it with a 20ft submersible. Hubris!!!

It's silly that this company had zero disaster plan, other than calling 911.

It blows my mind that they didn't have a emergency Beacon on that sub

so your saying you have billionaires on this ship thats made out of homedepot materials and an old gaming controller. interesting

Kissed his COVID wife and jumped into the mini sub with 4 other people, big 🧠 play right there 👍

Not even a submarine can go that deep...But yet they trusted someone's build... Sad. Hoping for a miracle.

The fact that the submersible is so simple maybe it's downfall. There is a reason why an airplane isn't just a tube with wings and an engine strapped to it. A lot of red flags for that vessel. Probably should have been certified before being used for tourism.

Cold.. dark.. and running out of oxygen.. That's horrifying.. Hope it has a good outcome 🙏

Five countries are on high alert and rushing to the site. Why? Five wealthy men are on board. How many resources go to the migrant boats that go down where dozens die?

His wife tested positive for covid so she couldn't go, and he kissed her goodbye and went himself? Yea thats defenetly NOT how that works!

There should have been a button where you would need to press every 5-10 minutes, If not the whole vessel goes up to the surface automatically.

A pressure resistant tube sinking to the bottom of the ocean... controlled with what's described as a desk fan... ... and a 3rd party game controller from a decade ago ... ... ... navigating by text message... ... ... ... What could go wrong? Rich people are stupid

It took 73 years to locate the Titanic 😢RIP 🙏

There's no windows, just a monitor. Why would anyone take such a chance to not even be able to actually see the Titanic? Sit home and watch a video in the comfort and safety of your home.

The photo of the person with the Titanic outside the window is really honestly incredible to see.

Crucial time lost, almost 8 hours. Ocean gate mothership should have notified coast guard earlier than the 6:10 pm time when the sub didn’t emerge from surface

Rich people and arrogance was the symbol of the Titanic as well as these explorers, the Legacy of the Titanic lives on

May they rest in peace

$250,000 for a casket

Air likely ran out in a instant when this Titan cracked wide open a mile plus under water. It would happen so fast they wouldn’t have had a chance to contact the mother ship.

So....... you're telling me that your wife tested positive for covid and couldnt go on the sub, so you kissed your covid positive wife and got on the submarine? 😂

This guy's trying to say that he was an explorer not a tourist. Explorers go were people haven't been and are usually funded by companies or other people (think Christopher Columbus admiral Byrd). Tourism is where you go where other people have been and you finance it yourself (think of Machu Picchu and Disneyland).

They're part of history now

Unfortunately they’re not going to be found. It took us 70 years to locate the Titanic and this little sub the size of a minivan won’t be found in the next 40 hours.

I wonder if this could be possible for sub to be attached to very long metal cable installed in the ship they use. This way you would never get lost. I hope miracle will happen and they survive

This guy seems to owe stock in this company 😂😂

It interesting how people can make smart decisions to become a billionare yet they dont have commonsense to recognize that getting into a cheap carbon fiber submersible 13000 feet in the sea on the ocean floor where most vessels can not get to you is not a good idea.

Morbid curiosity at its best , going beyond the depths that even military subs can stand to basically see the last resting place off over 100 people . We know how and why it sank , why do you need to go and see it when you can look at a full 3D image by googling it .

If it wasn't rich people it wouldn't have made the news, and nobody would be looking for them.

I work in carbon fiber... The idea that you would make a sub out of carbon and resin and take it to these depths is absurd to me...

The Titanic and her 1,400 souls rested in peace for 100 years. Now they are a sideshow. Perhaps it’s best to let her rest in peace again ☮️

RIP to everyone on that sub. What a way to go.

He kissed his positive wife and got into a sub with other people lol

Only $250,000 for a trip of a lifetime!

''It is easier for a 🐪camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god.'' Mathew 19 : 24

You'd think there would be some kind of tether on that sub...

FUN FACT: The swimming pool on the Titanic still has water in it!!

I could not believe how casually that moron was talking about this horrible situation! Even had a smile on his face multiple times!!

Stockton Rush sounds like the name of a methamphetamine sold on the streets of California

I personally wouldn't go on these submersibles, the videos and pictures are good enough for me. It's not worth the risk.

My condolence to families and nations affected. May God give you all the strength to bear this great loss.

I don’t see how even if they find it they have very little time to find it. It can’t imagine how they could retrieve it.

37 hours of oxygen left, assuming those on board are even alive. The chances of survival are really quite remote, at this point. The French are sending special equipment, but it may not arrive in time. Who licenses and inspects these submersibles? What is their country of registry?

Why would you get in that if you were in your right mind.

I don’t understand people who would deliberately risk their lives like that…

New Headline: "TITANIC CLAIMS FIVE MORE VICTIMS" !

Even by the time of this interview the Titan and it's crew were already gone. I feel so sorry for the families during those days that they were given false hopes.

Why would anyone RISK his/her life for SUCH a dangerous expedition??? One in which there are no guarantees??? To view a ship that is at the bottom of the ocean as a result of a DEVASTATING tragedy???What kind of pleasure could anyone get from viewing this?? 😢It’s just NOT worth it!!!

i don't see anything wrong here, They paid 250k for the full Titanic experience and it was delivered to them . Sinking is part of that experience

If they are found in time it will be a miracle…if they are still alive this would be like looking for a needle in haystack. Praying for their families.

This whole thing is laughable if a swimmer or boater goes missing they typically search for a couple hours then give up but when 5 rich people go missing they bring in the military and millions of dollars to look for them for days love to see my tax dollars wasted on people that knew the risks they were taking.

They went to the Titanic and died (sort of) the same way. The Titanic's death list has added five more victims 111 years later.

Titanic still pulling bodies to this day.

“They made it as safe as they could make it.” No, they did not.

I wonder if as many resources would be used to find these people if they weren’t millionaires/billionaires..

Omg man can you imagine being stuck underwater I hope they save them

They use trext message to guid the sub to the ship! Seriously

Im expecting those individuals to return as a coin. Due to the pressure at the bottom of the ocean.

The Xbox controller ran out of batteries.

Guarantee somebody’s already planning to make this into a movie

What a nightmare of a situation to be in for that lost crew. Tons of thoughts and prayers from me. I wonder how this story will end and what will be discovered.

Sub company definitely payed this man for a good (fake) review 💯

I seriously hope they are located! The "TITANTIC" beneath the sea mining it's business after their bad experience years ago. Charging people $250,000 to go beneath the sea as a tour is just too much! We had a guy in our unit years ago who said this and it stuck with me to this very day: They will make money off of anything and will advertise like it's the greatest thing ever until seriousness happens, like us here on this hill fighting for the good. Then it's back to normal.

Praying they surface or are found safe🙏🙏🙏

I hope and pray they get found and a movie is made…

Make sure they didn't have any PROBLEMS and went a DIFFERENT route and got lost. They NEED to be doing more.

I know I shouldn’t focus on this but.. the wife gets covid and can’t go…he kisses her and then gets on the sub 🧐

lol the mother company is in *deep* trouble

The whole situation was just poorly thought out. Carelessness all across the board the operators of the mother ship need to be held accountable if they are not found.

I pray 🙏 for all!

Very informative news coverage.

Undersea, for every 33 feet (10.06 meters) you go down, the pressure increases by one atmosphere. Even half-way down it be 2800 psi. Instant death.

im a little shocked that it was programmed to communicate with the Polar Prince every hour and a half or something like and they got the last ping at 10:45 am and they waited until 6:30pm (when it was supposed to be surfacing again) to report it missing???? they wouldve known for hours that they had lost communication so im not understanding why they wouldnt have done that sooner as a safety precaution given the fact that it has absolutely zero emergency beacons or trackers or ANY type of back up?! that doesnt make sense to me and feels like an incredibly dangerous risk to take, especially since theres only a handful of subs in the world that are even capable of going this low... something is off here. i dont know what it is but something is off.

That thing seriously looks and sounds like amateur hour when you compare it to what James Cameron used to visit Titanic. Those submersibles look like you’d expect them to - massively overengineered and robust. This thing looks like a student project 😢

the company should pay the government for the rescue operation

I hope they can rescue them.

The news mentioned that the crew still has approximately 40 hours of oxygen. I wonder if they also have emergency flashlights, food and water to keep them strong until they are rescued, hopefully soon.

I hope they find them, but it kind of irks me that so much taxpayer money has to be used to find rich people who do reckless things.

At least the tourist company should be given due credits - the tourists riding on the submersible have clearly found the tour best fulfilling their desires, and are enjoying right now exactly what they have paid their money for: When some wealthy dudes turned out so insanely rich and psychopathically bored that they cheerfully spent a quarter of a million dollars on a trip that serves no purpose other than bringing them miles under the sea to a wreckage of a ship sunken a century ago, *they deserve nothing less than the "full immersion" experience for their money's worth - the culminating coda of which is to go down just like the 1500 souls that perished in 1912.* Now the tourists finally get to feel with 100% mental, physical and emotional authenticity what the passengers on the ship felt on that fateful night in the last minutes of their lives. Kudos to the tourist company for such a stupendous reenactment that truly delivers above and beyond what the tourists expected to be "full immersion" (which naturally segues to "full submersion" and then "full annihilation", exactly like what happened to the true Titanic.) NO Titanic tour beats that!! Absolutely amazing!! The tourist company's no-holds-barred commitment to living up to its promise to its clients is awestriking!!! 6 stars out of 5!!

It's kind of unsettling to imagine that, from this point we have roughly 30 hours left to rescue them, or they will just suffocate in that tiny metal coffin somewhere in the ocean and be dead. A bit horrifying... my heart goes out to the rescuers.

The titanic has added 5 more people to its death list. Just leave it at peace already.
