One of the more ludicrous interviews I listened to, ascertained that as the tourists were wealthy businessmen they would stay calm and not panic under the circumstances. 

One of them is the grown up child of a billionaire so probably will find shitting in a bucket as you run out of air a tad distressing

The submarine must be bobbing about on the water somewhere if it has a billionaire on it. 

If it was on the seabed, he'd surely have pulled himself up by his bootstraps.

Not quite sure you can buy 4 kilometre lengths of 'bootstrap'.

Speaking of the billionaires families, on a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you think they actually want these billionaires to come home alive? Conversely, how much do you think these families should be contributing to the rescue costs?

I said to a friend yesterday they should be covering every penny. That much money and willingly high risk. You pay for the rescue.

Nor can you become a 'self-made' billionaire through hard work and perseverance but they'll tell you that lie as well.

Hey, Roman Abramovich became a self-made billionaire by working very hard at relieving his comrades of their Rosneft 'vouchers'.

I see the French fella on board has been down for a nosey at the Titanic 35 (!) times. Astonished that he agreed to go down in that thing.

 

And James Cameron 33 times.

 

Quote

In 1997, pioneering filmmaker James Cameron brought on new and mainstream interest in the wreck with his romantic tragedy film Titanic, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Cameron shot actual footage of the wreck with then-cutting-edge technology, even venturing to the wreckage himself in a submarine, and has been at the site 33 times since

James Cameron has also been much deeper than the titanic.  He was the first person to descend solo into the Mariana Trench.  He had a Rolex watch tied to the exterior of the submersible he was in.  The Rolex also survived the descent into the Mariana Trench unscathed.

He claimed that his descent into Challenger Deep was for inspiration for landscapes etc for the first Avatar.

Is this some kind of euphemism?
