I read this comment on the Wikipedia page, and I kinda had to laugh (wryly) to myself:
Imagine being a bunch of billionaires and having to resort to "it's the will of the people!" type arguments to justify the authorities going out of their way to rescue your dumbass at the bottom of the sea.
Hey, if they wanna dig up more people from the bottom of the sea, I got some other suggestions for them.
When common people take stupid risks and something bad happens to them, everyone agrees that they deserved their fate. Think of the way foreign embassies will no longer negotiate for the release of travellers or journalists who become the bounty of terrorist groups when they travel to the Middle East and get captured. Such embassies will in fact use their disinterest in the safety of travellers as a deterrent, to actively discourage travellers from going into places where they might get into trouble. The message is consistently: if you take risks as a traveller and you fuck up, you're on your own, we're not gonna save your dumbass for being stupid.
On the other hand, when rich people take stupid risks and something bad happens to them, fate is a little less certain, so the common people get to see if their common myths around money are confirmed: do billionaires get to taunt death and fuck up with no consequences just because they have a lot money? Will authorities go out of their way to save a high value individual in a way they would never bother to do with a commoner? A rich person wasting public resources for being stupid will be never be chastised for it the way a poor person is.
I really think people are so fascinated by this kind of "snuff reality TV" because there are billionaires involved. The morbid fascination of the general public with this ticking clock drama, is essentially based on the question of whether their billions will buy them a way out sure death.
And if their billions mean nothing in the face of sure death, the common people can comfort themselves with the thought that everyone is equal in death.
I see this story less in the humanitarian terms of a "rescue mission" and more as yet another display of the power of money determining whose lives are considered "worth saving".
@Empresa I await your "Dirty Commie" sticker for this comment!
Stephenson later added that the divers "wouldn't be out there if it wasn't for the public demand for information regarding this wreck".

What a nasty way to die, at least there isn't going to be a slow burn chamber piece thriller with a multi-ethnic cast where they all slowly choke to death as they are banging at the walls.

They were clearly dead upon descent but already millions have been wasted on this rescue mission that rescued nothing because there was nothing to rescue:
The cost of the search and rescue mission is likely in the millions of dollars, Boyer said, one that will fall to taxpayers. He said the Coast Guard doesn't charge people for search and rescue. "That's their job", he said, noting fear of costs could deter people from seeking life-saving help. While some adventure expeditions require patrons to take out insurance policies, few would come close to covering likely the costs of the current rescue mission, he said. He said high-risk adventures have long fueled complex debates about risk and rescue.
For Coast Guard, search for tourist sub near Titanic is a rescue unlike most others
The search for wealthy patrons on a risky adventure rekindles debate about the cost of rescues. But for crews, the only concern is saving lives.eu.usatoday.com
LMAO, "noting fear of costs could deter people from seeking life-saving help", there's literally nothing more capitalist than people avoiding seeking life-saving help because they can't afford it.
