A massive search and rescue mission is now underway in the mid-Atlantic after communication with a small submersible that was exploring the wreck of the Titanic was lost on Sunday. On board the sub were four tourists who each paid $250,000 for the privilege of going down to see the wreck. While many are questioning this sort of tourism, the technical advisor on James Cameron’s iconic film based on the aforementioned passenger liner says that the opportunity to view the ship is there because it’s something people want.
