Being ultra-rich and ridiculously stupid is a lot. However, I do really feel bad for the 19yo son cause he probably was with his father for some Father's Day fun experience though. I spent years about the Titanic, the unexplored parts of the ocean, the different folklores, etc. It scares the **** out of me. I read somewhere that the Pakistani businessman also has a wife and daughter. I can't imagine what they must be going through, enduring all this anticipation about about their survival knowing that they're probably dying and there's nothing you can do about it. The Titanic is such a fascinating piece of history to me but I could never imagine doing a trip like this. The deep ocean is absolutely terrifying.
Sannie Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 I feel bad for their families, and I do empathize with how terrifying it must be to be stuck knowing you are going to slowly suffocate to death, but everything about this from the jump seemed sketchy and these people still went along with it so it is hard to feel bad entirely. Here is to hoping the hull imploded so that their deaths were quick and painless. People keep quoting the 90-hours worth of oxygen thing, but I am pretty sure that was only if the passengers were calm. With the fear and panic of what they were going through, odds of them burning through that 90 hours in much less time are pretty high.
Attitude Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Wait. There's a possibility they're stuck inside the wreckage?

Some experts are even saying that because the submersive did not undergo many safety tests, they're doubtful that it can actually supply 96 hours of oxygen as it claims.

You guys are absolutely insufferable EDIT: you probably didn’t care about the refugee ship sinking until you could shove it in our faces here.

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. This. It’s sad that this had to happen, but hopefully this will be the LAST time this happens. Titanic is gravesite and should be treated as such. Not an attraction. This is such a terrible situation all around

You guys are absolutely insufferable I hate when people shut down discourse because it's "not appropriate." It's obviously heartbreaking for the families involved, but there's a lot of rich discussion to be had about class, regulation, and audacity. If you can't handle conversation beyond thoughts and prayers, then exit the thread? 9

The decision was stupid decision but acting we if they deserve it and weaponizing refugee ships that you don’t even care about either sinking is so nasty but if you like being a terrible person that’s on you. 2 1 3

GardenPanty Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 i’m sorry but who would spend $250k on THIS they signed their lives away. they are full grown adults that knew what they were doing so i don’t feel that bad

Archetype Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Y’all discussing class and wealth disparity in this thread need to get a f**king life. A bunch of people are probably dead in a submarine. The only reason why this is getting news attention is bc it’s a submarine (!!) filled with tourists (!!) that was going to the Titanic wreck (!!) which is now lost (!!). This is basically every media company’s clickbait wet dream realized. It’s unresolved, no one knows why it is gone or where it is. They will continue covering this story for weeks. 3

This absolutely. Two things can be true at once, but the people in here (and on social media) celebrating are ******* gross. I don’t think they should’ve done this, but I can’t be happy that they’re suffering the consequences. They’re not bad people. Just people who made a stupid decision. There’s a difference between shutting down discourse, like that other user said, and pointing out that nothing is being added to the discourse when you’re saying that deserve to die cramped like sardines and showing no type of empathy. The lesson that needs to be learned in this is that we shouldn’t treat disasters like attractions and if these things are being explored, there needs to be some type of care taken as well as preventative measures. I don’t know if this isn’t the first or second time, but it certainly needs to be the last time. not “you play stupid games stupid prizes xD”. No one needs to die like this to prove a point 3 1
