Working class or poorer (correct me if I'm wrong). They have experience with struggle. I COMPLETELY agree. None of them came from wealth or nepotism or anything. I didn't. Most of us don't, including our favs. So, we know how to best use our ££, and we also have intentions to help others when we "make it". One of my teenage wishes was to open a school in India - to this day I wish I could. The people I listed are "self made", but to be honest, most artists who succeed come from nothing. I cant think of a single prolific singer/actor/artist who became insanely huge without a ton of hard work/struggle/hustle. And even the ones who come from nepo families, they still have to have talent and work hard. Edited June 21, 2023 by JayG 2

Not to mention the other people they are putting at risk to dive and look for them. I find it hard to be feel sorry for these people. If they survive, they should have to pay for the full expenses of the search and rescue mission. 2

Cesar Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 even if they were to find it how would they get it out exactly
Breathe On Moi Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 the twist and turns to this story omg reading the banging noises gave me chills

There a few robots that can do this, and the US Navy shipped one to the area tonight. But it would be a miracle if they find anyone alive on the sub. Most likely scenarios is that the carbon fiber cracked leading to the whole sub imploding instantaneously or there was a leak that would have filled the cabin instantaneously.

Dream Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 The consequences of having more money than sense. I only feel bad for the 19 year old kid. The rest? Not so much tbh.

Pop Life Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) This feels like one of those fables warning against the perils of arrogance. These people payed hundreds of thousands of dollars to ride in an untested submarine, that a bunch of guys made with video game controls and for which they purposefully avoided official inspection. And they chose to take it multiple miles down to the ocean floor, where even properly regulated, professional submersibles have very little room for error. Did they think their money would somehow save them? Their fate was sealed the moment they stepped on that death trap. Edited June 21, 2023 by Pop Life

Tragic though it is, refugee boats sink all the time. Look at the Thai Cave rescue, Germanwings plane crash, Malaysia Airlines plane - all got just as much coverage even though they happened to ordinary people. Again, it's an extraordinary event and an interesting news story. That's why it's so popular. This!

Theres just too much risk if something goes wrong. While I would never have gone in this car boot sale submarine, this is a bit Death is coming for you whether you live in a padded room wrapped in cotton wool or not. It's human nature to explore and doing things that push you beyond your comfort zone is a good thing, providing it's done responsibly and there's a reasonable degree of safety (unlike in this case).

These kind of risk taking adventures aren’t worth your life.
Sergi91 Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Could the animals be making those sounds and banging noises ?

Randolph, it doesn't, which is why I acknowledged that this was irresponsible and prohibitively unsafe in my post you quoted. I was responding to the user who was talking about relatively safe and precedented activities like climbing mountains, paragliding etc. Edited June 21, 2023 by DoctorIce
