The submarine Titan, belonging to a company called OceanGate, which organizes trips to the Titanic wreck at the bottom of the North Atlantic, was lost in the past few days. According to estimates, the vehicle, which has a total of 96 hours of life support, including five people, including the company’s CEO, Stockton Rush, ran out of oxygen today, unfortunately.
As the desperate search for Titan continued, some users on the internet started doing something irritating. These people are betting money on whether the Titan submarine will be found.
More than $130k wagered
Bets up to thousands of dollars are placed on a prediction platform called Polymarket. Users do this by making a deposit on whether the vehicle will be found by June 23. In fact, when we look at the site, it can be seen that users have deposited more than 130 thousand dollars as of today, and the majority of them replied “cannot be found”.
Worse still, it doesn’t matter if the passengers inside the submarine are alive or not. There are even those who brag and post about how much money they spent on it. Let’s add that Polymarket is a platform that allows people to make predictions on certain events in exchange for crypto money.
The fact that this tragic event, which the whole world is talking about, is brought into question, is quite disturbing when we consider the situation of the people in the vehicle and their families. And that’s not the only unpleasant thing. Many users have been posting jokes on social media since Titan disappeared due to the presence of wealthy people in it.
Although the estimates show that the submarine is running out of oxygen, there is a possibility that they may have saved oxygen with the right breathing tactics. So there’s no way of knowing how the oxygen is on Titan; however, it is possible to say that hopes have dwindled. You can reach all the events related to the submarine from our content below;
