They say that getting squeezed can release fealings of anxiety. Imagine how good it must feel getting crushed by titanic depth pressure.
Suleman, the teenage student, was terrified of the dive but ended up going with his dad because he trusted him and it was the Father’s Day weekend.
I feel for him, and for his mother who gave up her seat so he could go. Fuck the billionaires but he was 19 - I can’t feel any humour about his death, or for what this must’ve done to his mother.
I’m sure the others had family members too who have gone through hell while the world laughed.
We can have compassion for those people while still shrugging at the stupidity of the willing dead.
The “modern day guillotine” if we may
Don’t forget the Logitech!
The real problem was just the person making it being too cheap/lazy to do any sort of safety certification on the submarine (and also picking the cooler sounding material over the one best suited to build a submarine). Don’t blame it on logitech.
The only person I legitimately felt bad for was the teenager. Like, I’m mortified he went on there at the behest of his parents. It was a sad event all around, but I was still overjoyed it was a rich asshole killing other rich assholes.
Seeing Stockton Rush’s name next to Thomas Midgley Jr, though, does make me smile.
This comment section is crazy. I understand that they were most likely rich assholes and as time has told, most rich people haven’t contributed too much to the world except class separation and hoarding comfort to the loss of common people.
But people died because one asshole decided this was a good idea, lives were literally lost and everyone here is mentioning how fun that is and how great it is that human beings have died in a horrific way. Imagine the anxiety and hopelessness they’ve must’ve felt during their last moments and people seem to cherish that fact more than anything else.
It’s disturbing to see people talk about deaths this way, no matter who that death concerns.
There was no anxiety or panic. They imploded faster than you can react. They literally never realized they were dying.
There was no anxiety or panic.
Eeeh, gonna have to disagree with you there, buddy.
It didn’t implode completely without warning while they were just cruising.
They knew they were in trouble for about a minute according to reports. I’d say being in any sort of trouble in a sub like that would make me anxious.
That being said I don’t think people are really celebrating people having died (despite them having been rich assholes), but because this is a very clear and very felt example of how thing like these should be done by and for humanity as a whole instead of some uppity rich ppl who think they’re above everyone else. Same thing with space exploration. Private enterprises won’t really cut it. They can emulate things achieved by nations, but they can’t pioneer shit, really.
