      And I hope it leads to renewed exploration safety precautions.

    4. The420Turtle on

      sure, using unmanned drones instead of sending people to die in glorified soup cans held together with glue

    5. FaultElectrical4075 on

      Hopefully the destruction of the moon yields renewed interest in moon landings

    6. cypher50 on

      I hope that food poisoning that I had leads me to eat more left out potato salad.

      Nothing was being “explored,” & as far as I know, the trip had no scientific value whatsoever. It was just some rich people who wanted to say they saw the Titanic.

      It’s a bit how they changed the definition of “astronaut” so it excluded assholes like Jeff Bezos. These people are not explorers, they are tourists.

      It’s certainly renewed my interest in Billionaire CEOs using themselves as Guinea pigs.

    12. Johnny-kashed on

      Actually, you completely destroyed my interest in exploration so that I am now only concerned with conservation. It’s not gonna matter how much of the ocean is unexplored if everything in it is dead.

    13. bastardoperator on

      Nope, never getting on a home made sub, probably wont even be doing the disneyland sub anymore.

    14. Boo_Guy on

      I hope it yields renewed interest in regulating the dumb shit that the rich do.

    16. dare978devil on

      Yep, same way the space shuttle disaster made me not want to be an astronaut.

    18. motohaas on

      Hell, who isn’t ready to hop into a duct taped aluminum can to defend to the depths after that inspirational display?

    20. Vo_Mimbre on

      More like a reminder on how *not* to do it.

      But the real way to do it doesn’t stroke rich egos as well.

      He didn’t seem to have learned the lesson, and there isn’t a second carbon fiber hulled sub for him to do a second run.

    23. Accomplished_Trip_ on

      It might spark legislator’s interest in exploring safety regulations.

    24. Finallyawake451 on

      It’s friggin black down there…what is the point! It’s like going into Uncle Mike’s yard shed at night with a match with a very high chance that demented Uncle Mike will shoot you. So ridiculous 🙄

    26. Relative_Tone61 on

      considering its probably one of the easiest methods of dying, there could be a market for it.

      lots of suicidal adventure types out there

    27. Honest-War7492 on

      What the hell are they smoking over there? Get your shit together. People died.

    29. ponsehere on

      How dystopian is it that he hopes his co-founder’s death will help bring in profits for the company? Anything for profits huh?

    30. jakedublin on

      I hear zeppelins were oh soo popular right after the Hindenburg explosion…. and the Titanic really set the people’s mood for going on transatlantic cruises….

    31. SwiftSweed on

      Many of histories explorers were drug fueled rich guys charlatans or both

    32. PRSHZ on

      I mean, just about as much as a car crash would give me renewed hope to drive.

    33. Optimoprimo on

      Yes, when there is a high-profile failure leading to human death that occurs in an industry, that famously creates a boon for that industry. Just look at how well Zeppelins took off after the Hindenburg.

    34. SirusRiddler on

      Maybe he should consider not saying off-putting shit like that and focus on safety instead.

    38. AnnihilatorOfPeanuts on

      ”I hope the death of those peoples caused by the shoddy submarine we build while ignoring every safety feature required will get peoples to pay us so they can enter one of our submarine (that will probably be not much different in build quality).

    39. RecentSatisfaction14 on

      It certainly made people interested in exploring legal charges.

    40. AndreasDasos on

      In addition to the obvious lunacy of this statement, it’s also irritating that they keep calling it ‘exploration’. They did squat for exploration. The Titanic had already been found and explored a zillion times. They were tour guides, and shitty, deadly ones at that.

    42. AceKetchup11 on

      We need another Jacque Cousteau, who can show us that exploration is fascinating and can be done safely.

    43. Hrmbee on

      I, for one, have a renewed interest in business regulation and engineering standards.

    44. Pallets_Of_Cash on

      It did lead to renewed interest in what happens to the human body at the moment it becomes physics rather than biology.

    45. DaveGrohl23 on

      Why would this renew interest? If anything, it would push people away. Nobody wants to be turned into a red mist because of a poorly built submarine.
