A Group of Rich People Are Heading Back to the Titanic
Time is a flat circle.

Just two years after the Titan submersible went popcorn at 3,500 meters and sent a bunch of One Percenters to Valhalla, a group is planning to head back in their *own* submersible.
According to the New York Post, a well-known billionaire and their team will be heading to the wreck next week at a cost of around $10 million. Why? To spit in the face of God, I suppose — or maybe just to show that they’re better than those *other* rich people who are now silly string on the seafloor.
Are we about to see an Oceangate 2? Probably not. As the GOAT James Cameron noted in several interviews following the Titan submersible disaster, there are plenty of craft available to visit the Titanic that are perfectly safe, and it’s more than likely that this billionaire will be using one of those.
Still, I’m sure they’re going to be a bit nervous on the trip. Let’s hope that whatever vessel they use this time isn’t operated by a PS2 controller.
