A submersible with five people headed to the Titanic wreckage has been missing since Sunday.
The tourist expedition has sparked conversation for, among other things, its hefty price tag: $250,000 a person, according to The New York Times.
Its high price point makes it an activity typically reserved for the wealthy. Among the five passengers onboard the missing watercraft are British billionaire Hamish Harding and Pakistani-born multimillionaire Shahzada Dawood.
