The bottom of oceans is fake, this is why NASA keeps blowing up submarines trying to go there, they know if you go to the bottom of the ocean you'll come up on the other side of the flat earth, where all the elit and the reptilians live.
Wait let me stop before idiots start believing this bullshit.

Ohio billionaire Larry Connor plans to take $20M sub to Titanic site to prove industry’s safer after OceanGate implosion​

The pressure’s on.

An Ohio billionaire is planning to take a deep-sea submersible to Titanic depths to prove the industry is safer in the wake of the doomed OceanGate vessel that imploded last year.

Real estate investor Larry Connor, of Dayton, said he and Triton Submarines co-founder Patrick Lahey will plunge more than 12,400 feet (2.3 miles) to the shipwreck site in a two-person submersible.

“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.

Lahey has designed a $20 million vessel dubbed the Triton 4000/2 Abyssal Explorer, which Connor said can carry out the voyage repeatedly.
“Patrick has been thinking about and designing this for over a decade. But we didn’t have the materials and technology,” Connor said. “You couldn’t have built this sub five years ago.”
The duo said they want to prove that the trek can be done without disaster — despite the implosion of the Titan submersible in June, which killed all five people on board, including OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush.
The Titan had been headed to the Titanic site when it suddenly had a “catastrophic implosion” on June 18.
A few days after the tragedy, Connor called Lahey and urged him to build a better sub.

“[He said], you know, what we need to do is build a sub that can dive to [Titanic-level depths] repeatedly and safely and demonstrate to the world that you guys can do that, and that Titan was a contraption,’” Lahey told the paper.
Connor didn’t say when the voyage will take place.

Lahey was among the critics in the deep-sea adventure industry who accused OceanGate of questionable safety standards, calling Rush’s approach “quite predatory.”

Industry experts and a whistleblowing employee had previously come forward with fears about the safety of the vessel — in part because OceanGate opted not to certify it through credible safety groups such as the American Bureau of Shipping and Det Norske Veritas in Europe.
Rush, billionaire explorer Hamish Harding, French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet and Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son, Sulaiman, died instantly when the Titan imploded under the pressure of the Atlantic Ocean.
 
A lot of Billionaires have a god complex. It’s what makes them billionaires. I worked for a billionaire recently. He hired me as part of a team for a manufacturing start up. He was a literal sociopath! Sacrificed everything for his wealth. Even his family. He was a real piece of shit. Thought he could treat any and everyone however he wanted. He also thought he was never wrong and surrounded himself with yes men. He knew nothing about the subject matter of the project, yet wanted to run everything and make every decision. He single handily almost derailed the entire project. The board finally voted him off and we got a new CEO and things worked out. That evil sob died about 6 months after he was let go from a brain tumor.

This dumbass will meet the same fate as those other fools who built that homemade sub. I tell ya, you don’t have shit better to do with that money? How about helping some people? Damn! The arrogance of ignorance.

Billionaire sues for £1m over axed trip to Titanic on doomed Titan sub

Super-rich Karen Lo is demanding a refund from adventurer Henry Cookson over the scrubbed underwater voyage to the cruise liner's Atlantic wreck site.

A billionaire soy milk heiress is suing Prince Harry's former North Pole guide for £1m over a cancelled expedition to the Titanic on the doomed Titan submersible.

Super-rich Karen Lo is demanding a refund from adventurer Henry Cookson over the scrubbed underwater voyage to the cruise liner's Atlantic wreck site.

Mr Cookson, a former safari guide and polar explorer, runs Cookson's Adventures, an ultra-luxury adventure travel firm specialising in bespoke trips for the world's global elite to far flung and otherwise inaccessible spots, often costing millions.

Wealthy heiress Ms Lo paid Mr Cookson's firm £680,000 in 2017 to go on the once-in-a-lifetime excursion on board the OceanGate Titan submersible, a court heard.

But the 2018 dive was axed after the vessel was damaged by lightning, with Ms Lo being offered a priority place on a future dive instead.

However, she never got her trip after Covid intervened and the Titan then imploded during a doomed dive to the wreck in June 2023, killing all five passengers, including OceanGate founder Stockton Rush, and causing the company's operations to cease.

Ms Lo is now suing Holland Park-based Henry Cookson Adventures Ltd, claiming the firm is responsible for refunding her for the Titanic trip she paid for but never took.

But Mr Cookson's company is fighting the claim, saying the heiress knew there were no refunds when she put her money down, and that she had a chance to go on the expedition later but never did.
