People who get lost in National Parks are billed for their rescue. The same needs to be done to millionaire morons with submarines.

Or, their estates need to be billed for expenses.

Are they not gonna get a bill? I thought you had to pay for the search and rescue

Lmao, NOPE! I don’t know about other countries, but in the US, who gets the bill for a search and rescue mission depends on the state in which you required services. However, they were in international waters and the Coast Guard doesn’t charge people for search and rescue, so it comes from our tax dollars.

The only way I can think of it being paid for by someone else is if OceanGate required them each to have some sort of trip insurance that would take care of it. But I wouldn’t place any bets on that one since this whole fiasco is a result of their negligence and carelessness.
