This whole submarine situation is a grim reminder that safety features are there for SAFETY rather than inconvenience, and that regulations are often written in blood.
The juxtaposition of the company going from "isn't it great that we built such a cost effective submersible without having to deal with clunky equipment or pesky regulations" to "we regret to inform you that 5 passengers including our CEO are sealed inside a death pod with very little chance of rescue" is absolutely haunting but is an outcome that you could have seen coming from miles away unlike the submersible due to a lack of safety features

I’ve seen a few posts concerning the missing submersible (to be clear, it’s definitely not a submarine) that was going to the wreck site of the Titanic talking about how we need to have more empathy for the people in the pod that are most likely dead. And while I want to be empathetic…I just can’t. Because there’s a huge difference between a group of people getting killed in an avoidable tragedy, and a group of people dying as a result of their own goddamn hubris. They had every sign that they would risk dying, every fucking thing about this whole experience pointed to them not coming back. Especially since a reporter did a similar trip last year where they not only scrubbed the mission because it started to go south only 37 feet down, but that same reporter also has said that during that same story, the submersible got lost for 5 hours and they still didn’t put a beacon on it afterwards. The only ones I feel just the slightest amount of sympathy for is the son of Shahzada Dawood, who his father brought on board with him. Because if they do end up dying, then that young man shouldn’t have been brought into this fucking death trap.

Oh no
Im rewatching Ben 10 and there’s an episode in season 2 where a billionaire builds an underwater resort and by the end of the episode it implodes
Sounds awfully familiar

Why? Because let’s be honest, there’s no ethical way to becoming a billionaire.
It’s not like people’s being cynical or jealous about their billions. No. It has nothing to do with that. The truth is that more often than not, those shitloads of money came from the worst and most evil sources one could ever imagine.
Billionaires are basically the ones behind all the worldwide networks of traffic and dark shit, one way or another. They’re the ones behind disparities and poverty, unemployment, poor life quality, hunger and sickness. They’re the ones behind wars and shitty economy models, deforestation, animal cruelty and extinction, global warming.. they’re the ones behind innocent beings’ deaths.
And still, they’ve got the fucking nerve to casually spend 250,000 USD on a totally unnecessary, touristic trip to a mass grave (courtesy of their already wealthy, evil ancestors, of course) at the bottom of the ocean.
Anyone who ever dares to spend such amount of money for a few hours long trip, knowing that the world is going down, is not a honest nor a valuable human being. Period.
So yes, the less people like them, the better. The earth does need to heal. And no, I cannot stand those who still defend the planet’s greatest poison. They evidently don’t have a single ounce of self reflection.

You can say “it is morally good to make fun of dead billionaires” and “I feel bad that the 19-year-old didn’t want to go, but was apparently pressured by the others”
Like. You can have both stances here. It’s not one or the other. Some poor teenager was already scared of going on, but went for his dad.
But also
The ocean really does have a solid record against human hubris huh?

I'm seeing this submarine shit all over the internet, and I just want to say Ion feel bad. These people paid 250k to go down in a soda can to see the Titanic, knowing there's a possibility they could die.
Tumblr media
They went down thousands of feet in a pill bottle controlled by a Playstation controller.....Ion feel bad.
I'll say this, plenty of children go missing every day, and there's little to zero media coverage on that. But the moment some billionaires go missing at sea, that's when the world stops?
Tumblr media
Yeah ok.
