Debris field found in search for missing submersible

I really couldn't care less. As far as I can see he was exactly what's wrong with people chasing money and forgetting about the possibly consequences of their attitude towards other people's lives. I'm sure his relatives are grieving, but my sympathy goes to the family of the passengers first.

As for the CEO's credentials: nature can't be fooled.

Agreed.

By my estimation he committed manslaughter with his recklessness. He's every bit as bad a drunk driver that kills 4 people in an accident.

I don't know the guy, but this seems off the mark. If he wanted to get rich, spending 11 years on a money losing operation seems an unlikely choice. My take is that it was a passion project, a passion he shares with apparently a substantial number of well-to-do people.

I don't judge.

Just because you spent 11 years on it losing money doesn't mean it's not in the interest of money. See: serial gamblers.

Yeah, chasing “money” seems off the mark. Chasing “thrills” or “glory” seems closer.
