the only reason these folks are in the news is because of the staggering amount of money involved

I wouldn’t agree, it’s more to do with the highly unusual circumstances I think as was this story which fortunately ended with all of the trapped men surviving.

A comforting thought especially for their families and friends. Let's hope no one else will try a similar thing - just leave the wreck where it is.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
F around and find out.
They had too many dollars and not enough sense.

I concur, do feel sorry for their families left behind.

Its the curse of the wealthy. By age 40 most of them have no reason to live. They have no bucket list, nothing to conquer no more dreams to follow. They would have travelled the world over, eaten all the different types of food and bring all their fantasies to reality.

That would certainly have helped. Also building some schools in poor depressed villages would have made a difference to their mindset.

Another way to look at it: they died doing something they really wanted to do, they didn't have time to know they were dying or feel pain. We should all be so lucky.

Have to feel for the families though, sudden loss is the worst kind. Let's hope the media gives them a break.
