OceanGate, a deep-sea adventure company, is listing two missions to the Titanic shipwreck in June 2024.

….yeah, something tells me there won’t be too many takers for those.

    Something tells me the web team quit and nobody has the password to update the site yet.

    You don’t even need a submersible craft to visit the site.

    As long as you only want to go once!

    Ooh! Count me in!

    Their website leaves a lot of unanswered questions for potential customers, though. For example, am I guaranteed a quick, painless death or will I suffer? How much warning is there before the collapse? During the descent, how long will it take for the interior to smell like “I’m about to die” farts?

      It’s all a matter of perspective. When you tear down a wall in a house, you don’t lose space. They gained an entire ocean worth of space, if you’re a glass half-full kind of person. And to their credit, they weren’t content with just half-full.

    As a web developer, I would have been updating my resume and getting out of there, rather than worrying about the site content. Someone in C-Suite is gonna have to call the hosting provider.

    The website also said travelers may be joined by French diver PH Nargeolet — one of the people who died on board the Titan submersible earlier this month.

    Damn, this goes so much deeper than /corporatefacepalm. rip Nargeolet.

    Also, must go look for that sub in the Fediverse.
    Edit: /corporatefacepalm hasn’t been created yet.

    Great! Any profit they make off them can be used toward recompensating the Coast Guard…because of the…y’know…
