GentleEarthquake Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Not someone saying "it could've been a member of your family", like ????? I didn't know every family was capable of taking a trip to the bottom of the sea. Let alone do it with such little preparation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But considering it's confirmed they literally imploded and died, it's distasteful to still laugh at memes imo. A 19yo son who only went to appease his dad literally lost his life. It's disheartening to see how people are so desensitized to death nowadays. I think many of us saw in real time how tragic events like Sandy Hook was the biggest story of the year in the early days of social media, now a story like that is reduced to a common tabloid headline. I think it’s just the consequence of human life constantly not being valued (according to our world leaders, politicians, conservatives, etc.) and people are just bound to trying to make light of any tragic situation. I’m not saying that’s a good thing, it’s horrible that we respond less in an empathetic way… but I kind of get why people are like this. Like 9/11 is a punchline now, it’s crazy.

jjmed59 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) “It couldve been someone you know” thats literally why you arent seeing the most empathetic response to it. most people will NEVER have to worry about the possibility of this happening to them or anyone they know. most of us are too poor to make this stupid of a decision. RIP to them all, especially the 19yo who had his whole life ahead of him :/ Edited June 22, 2023 by jjmed59 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThehushSound Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I know due to legal stuff the media can’t say the passengers are dead because we don’t have any physical proof (bodies). But the presumed dead kills me, like do y’all think this is The Abyss and some Alien ass mothafuckers saved them before the craft imploded?

They lost communication at 1:45 hours into their trip which is when people are guessing the submarine imploded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby Judas Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Think of the millions and millions of $$$ spent mobilizing the ships, the submarines etc to find the wreckage. Would this have been a big deal if these were just ordinary people and not billionaires with political ties? Hmm.. I hope the oceangate company is paying all of that, not the ordinary taxpayers.

Sergi91 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 It’s sad this happened. I feel for them not because they were rich but because they were humans too with families… especially the young guy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EriKills Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) This is so sad, especially given how avoidable this all was. I'd like to think literal BILLIONAIRES truly believed the submarine was safe. We NOW see just how (almost comically) bad this submarine was built, but did they know that...probably not? Given the 100% confidence in safety from the CEO and him attending every trip, the fact there had already been previous expeditions to the Titanic with this very sub as well as other subs, that if each trip is costing a quarter of a million dollars per person, you would assume they are using the best and safest material for the submarine no matter the cost, especially given the importance of the clientele. I still can't help feeling bad for them idk. Of course they never should have done such a pointless trip to the Titanic in the first place, but if they were to then they definitely should have done more research. but like I said above I can see why they didn't think it would be as dangerous as it ended up being (hindsight is 20/20) that trash CEO gets NO sympathy though. Straight up LYING and saying his submarine was "obscenely SAFE" despite a worker lichrally being fired for having safety concerns no safety inspections. Failed trial runs. Skimping on material for the submarine (using a combo of titanium and carbon fibre instead of just titanium, I assume because it was CHEAPER)...death was inevitable. And he knew all this and still was charging people a fortune to go on these trips. He can ROT Edited June 22, 2023 by EriKills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There won't be any physical proof of the bodies because they evaporated immediately when the implosion happened. They literally do not exist in any physical shape or form anymore.

Misguided Ghost Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 It's so tragic, especially for the families grieving their loved ones. Condolences to all of them. At the same time it's ridiculous that all of those grown people (minus this young guy) willingly put themselves in a situation like this. They chose to be put on a fragile tiny capsule to travel into the deep sea to watch Titanic through a tiny window for literally minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
