umich Posted May 28 Posted May 28 Larry Connor, a Dayton entrepreneur, will soon embark on another groundbreaking exploration. Connor, founder and managing partner of The Connor Group, a real estate company based in Dayton, plans to take a deep-sea submersible to "Titanic-level depths" to prove that the personal-sub industry is safe. According to The Wall Street Journal, this announcement comes in the wake of the OceanGate vessel that imploded last year, killing five passengers, including OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush. "I want to show people worldwide that while the ocean is extremely powerful, it can be wonderful and enjoyable and really kind of life-changing if you go about it the right way," Connor told The Wall Street Journal. Connor, known for his explorations to the Mariana Trench and International Space Station, will reportedly travel with Triton Submarines co-founder Patrick Lahey. The duo will plunge to the ocean's depths in a Triton 4000/2 Abyssal Explorer, a two-person submersible listed on the company's website for $20 million. The "4000" represents how deep the sub can dive in meters, per the national news site. The Titanic sits at 3,800 meters. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2024/05/28/ohio-billionaire-to-take-20-million-submersible-on-titanic-journey/73874942007/

spiritboy Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Instead of wasting that much money on their potential deaths, why don't they donate to an honorable cause? I can't at stupidity of billionaires, thinking they can do whatever they want because they have tons of money.
