DoctorIce Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jotham Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 3 hours ago, State of Grace. said: I'm honestly still having a hard time feeling any sympathy for these people. 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and at this point they're probably sitting in total darkness because all the power in the ship has probably run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please ******* spare us It’s entirely possible to have empathy for the human experience these people had/are having while still recognizing that it’s absolutely ridiculous the ultra-wealthy can even put themselves in this situation to begin with. Especially considering the tragedy off the Grecian coast last week which among many factors was caused due to capitalist neoliberalism which creates the type of money for the 1% that allows for such folly. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archetype Posted June 21, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
