    The Earth is flat and the real reason Titanic sunk was because it fell off the edge. The submarine went too close to the edge and the waterfall flowing off the side caused the submarine to drift over the edge of the world and fall off.

    Some government knows where the sub is, but they can’t tell anyone to not show their actual surveillance capabilites.

    The submarine is staying down there because the pilot knows the Canadian wildfires are going to set the atmosphere on fire. They need to outlast the fire and repopulate the earth with the DNA they found on silverware from Titanic survivors.

    Stepson sabotages submersible because he wasn’t allowed to go to Blink182 concert; punk rock is therefore root of all societal evil.

    I’ve just seen a stupid conspiracy theory about this - that the US government knew the sub imploded almost immediately but they went through with the search attempt in order to distract from what’s going on with Hunter Biden right now.

    That it went missing due to the controller used. I find it utterly absurd to believe that a submarine of such high caliber could possibly go missing due to a low-grade Mad Catz controller. In my opinion, when you’re dealing with equipment as expensive and sophisticated as a submarine, you’d expect nothing but the most advanced and reliable controls, not some generic gaming joystick. It’s quite a far-fetched conspiracy theory if you ask me.

      I don’t know why people got so fixated on the game controller. Realistically they were just using it to give a computer some USB commands, and these controllers are excellent for that. The real difference between cheap and pricy ones is stuff like latency and better vibration. So no reason not to use the cheap one from a reputable brand

    I already had someone suggesting it was eaten by some unknown massive deep sea dwelling creature.

    It was eaten and/or mind-controlled by Leviathan; specifically, the pyramid-shaped tentacled hyperintelligent creature of that name from the Illuminatus! books.

    It’s not really missing, there’s some life-insurance fraud going on.

    I think it’s staged. You get a bunch of experts on the TV who talk about how there’s a “1% chance” of survival. Then tomorrow, against all odds, they’re saved! It’s a miracle! Then the 4 billionaires get to be in a movie. Or maybe it takes a dark turn and I’m full of shit. Guess we’ll see. Maybe they are faking their deaths.

        Sounds like the participants got more than they bargained for. The website said you can “visit one of the most famous shipwrecks” but they instead became a famous shipwreck. I wonder how many decades it’s going to take to find the wreck. Finding a 2000ft ocean liner is one thing. Finding a 20 ft submarine that’s probably completely buried in the mud is going to be a lot harder.

        I just hope the hull imploded and they died instantly. Slowly dying of thirst and oxygen deprivation for a week in a dark cramped space is a hell of a way to go.
