[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you people picking on the fact that they were rich? I don’t understand how it’s relevant.[/quote]

It’s wrong to pick on them though I do think it’s relevant.  Bring rich gives people access to do some risky things that make them feel special: Private planes, trips into space, race cars, the depths of the sea…and they do a lot of these things without the knowledge or respect for the seriousness of the adventures.

I’m married to a not rich pilot. I can tell you I would never fly in a private plane and I would never think I could fly myself to my cousins wedding at night.  Because I understand the training needed and how important is. Their confidence and money sometimes kill them.

The rich people are the reason this trip could take place, which was not just a sightseeing tour, it’s other purpose is to monitor the titanic site from a preservation and identification perspective. [/quote]
BS. The wreck has been down there for over a century. What “preservation and identification” needs to be done now? [/quote]

It's disintegrating.  Soon it will be gone, by 2030 according to one estimate.

So what? Why do people need to go down to the bottom of the ocean in a submarine? It can be documented with machines ie the ones seen in the titanic movie.

Additionally, it’s a shipwreck from 110 years ago. Why does it need be revisited at this point? [/quote]

Why do people insist on visiting those pesky pyramids?  Extremely dangerous in Egypt.

Why do all those people go to Israel to visit those sites, don’t they know how dangerous it is on that plot of land?[/quote]

WTF kind of analogies are these? People live in Israel. And in Egypt. Human beings can't survive at the bottom of the ocean. [/quote]
Those are not analogies. That’s the issue. That PP doesn’t understand what an analogy is.[/quote]
