Well, thats a fate I don't wish to any one, even evil capitalists. Lets hope they manage to pinpoint the sounds and lift them up.
Nobody should be lost at sea.
Nobody should be lost in space.
The best outcome would be that the five are rescued and the CEO emerges from the sub deeply chastened by the fear of death in his memory and with a completely different attitude about safety and his moral responsibility to his customers. It would be a hell of a way to learn a lesson, but it would be a lasting lesson for most people. Some people just don't understand things until it happens to them personally, especially if they are unwilling to learn based on the experiences of others.
Here's hoping that they survive and lessons are learned, and remembered.
