The NY Post got their hands on some pretty damning text messages where this CEO was irresponsibly downplaying the risks and cutting the ticket price for a potential prospect. I know he’s dead now, but I hope some sort of regulations come out of this.

    There already are regulations; he just didn’t like them. Dude was breaking the law, and he was proud of it.

    This guy was shopping around discount tickets in a way that makes it seem like his company was in financial trouble. Willing to take a $100K haircut on the ticket price just to get bodies on the sub?

    safer than crossing a street, well, yes, but that’s why we want to ban cars as much as possible - people dying for stupid preventable a reasons is a trend we kinda want to stop, I’d wager

    Not gonna lie, the idea of a giant squid attacking the sub is pretty funny. It’s like something out of a cartoon.
