Missing Titanic Submarine Megathread | All Passengers Presumed Dead

The resentment from the online left is coming from the timing, mostly - the context being the 500+ migrants that died in a naval vessel sinking in the Mediterranean just days ago that's gotten a fourth of the coverage that this has.

Thankfully there’s no cap on empathy.  I think the vast majority of people would agree that the migrant story is infinitely more tragic, but you can’t change the human condition of what grabs our attention. This story just has a crazy narrative that’s super attention-grabbing, it’s not about people finding it “worse”. 
Besides, whataboutism is never really helpful. We’re on a forum with people discussing pop culture all day because it interests us, even if there’s plenty more important ways to spend our time.

Imagine dying by the wreck of the titanic to my heart will go on playing. This story just gets more unbelievable 

 

At least they got an exclusive first listen to My Heart Will Go On (The Janky Ass Sub Reboot Remix).

Unfortunately, it's still unrealistic that they will be saved because even if rescuers do find them at the bottom of the ocean, they still have to figure out how they're going to bring the heavy sub back to the surface and get it open before the oxygen runs out.

So Celine is on repeat until they either get saved or don't?

The video on twitter with the sounds of the knocks they are making- yeah they are still alive-

The fact that there is nothing that can rescue them is kind of sad

It's crazy that they had nothing planned if something went wrong. And that man who brought his 19 yo son with him knowing the danger.. pure folly

Honestly even if going there was dumb , they are rich bla bla bla i wonder how someone could not feel sorry for these people, like this must be one of the worst ways to die-

I don’t get people proudly proclaiming their lack of sympathy for this on the Internet. You could be the most privileged person on earth and I’d still feel bad for you if your tragic yet stupid endeavour ended in the painful death of you and your family. 

I think it’s largely because of the concurrent timing of that migrant boat capsizing, on which 300+ Pakistani refugees died but has since received a fraction of the publicity. Which is bad, yes! But people seem to think they’re doing activism by saying they care about that and not this sub.

I wasn't really following this or seeing why it was such a big deal until last night.  For anyone still lost watch these short videos: Video 1, Video 2, Video 3

 

I can't believe these people paid $250k to get on that janky thing.  I thought surely it was at least the size of a FedEx/UPS truck with proper seating.  No, you literally sit barefoot, crisscrossed, and sardined on the floor because you can't stand or move around.  The thing has no GPS/radio communication and the sub is controlled by a $20 Logitech Bluetooth Gaming Controller, which has surely run out of battery power at this point.  These people are DEAD and will probably never get found.

 

The other theory is that the vessel may have imploded instantly due to extreme pressure, which would be ideal for the passengers since their death would be instant instead of slow and painful by running out of oxygen, food, and water.

Literally all of this. 
 

When I found out it was a GAME controller steering this DIY Submarine…:rip:

Their chances of rescue are unfortunately looking slim to none at this point. While it was arguably a foolish decision to go on the excursion in the first place, I wouldn't wish this on anyone, billionaire or not. It's probably the most terrifying death imaginable and all we can hope is that this leads to more safety regulations in the future. This should never have happened in the first place.

A literal money grab... :deadbanana4:

so these five rich people signed a paper that told them that they would pay that much on a thing that is dangerous and could cause their death and still they thought it was a good idea even when they saw that the controlers of the thing were from video games? ok.

Even the US Navy are known to use Xbox controllers for aspects of their submarines, it's not that big a deal.

 

Having said that, for $250,000 a ticket I'd expect a gold-plated Dual Sense controller at the very least.

For $250k I'd at least expect a proper seat and standing room. :deadbanana4:
