I've seen quite a lot of memes and content related to the titanic on my frontpage. Waht's going on?

The company OceanGate have constructed a DIY submersible, that's not been tested, regulated, checked, or certified.

The CEO of the company and four civilian passengers have gone on this submersible on an expedition to the Titanic wreck.

They've since lost contact with the crew. The oxygen is calculated to run out today.

It's a huge rescue operation.

It's very likely the front viewport failed, causing the entire vessel to depressurise and instantly crumple, killing everyone inside instantly. Chances of survival are improbable at best

Just recently watched this video about it. Highly recommend it.
