gotta admit, the media blackout on the migrant ship crisis in favor of five billionaires who agreed to go on a death coffin to the bottom of the ocean is expected, but still terrifying.
it's just listening to the CEO casually dismiss safety regulations, and stepping over the blood drenched in those regulations. we have regulations because people died for those regulations. and while i feel zero sympathy for a man who brought himself down, he should have never been allowed too. just as that migrant ship should have been tied properly and brought to shore.

not to be the giant buzzkill in this situation but one of the five passengers was a 19yo who didn’t even want to get in the submersible in the first place.

no empathy for the four other idiot freaks but can we all be kind about this child dying a horrible and easily preventable death

What I feel people are failing to understand when they treat the news of the “Refugees shipwreck vs submarine story” is not that people don’t care about the people the died in the coast of Greece.
The Pakistani’s lives lost in that tragedy that deserves respect and criticism of coast guards that, allegedly, cause the sinking.
The real life iron lung parody is treated like a meme.

"Private submarine carrying several billionaire tourists goes missing while surveying the wreckage of the Titanic."
Well, it had to happen eventually. This is where big-ticket extreme tourism and shooting untrained assholes into space and such was always going to lead – frankly, it's surprising that it took this long for a major incident to crop up.
"One of the missing passengers is the president and CEO of the company that owns and operates the submarine."
Huh. Well, points for putting his money where his mouth is, I guess. I wonder if–
"The missing CEO's name is Stockton Rush."
Oh, bullshit. That's not a real person – that's the name of a guy who builds an inexplicably 1950s-themed underwater theme park and then gets eaten by a shark in a cautionary tale about the perils of libertarianism. That's the name of a guy who carries off an oceanfront real estate scam that somehow ends with Superman fighting a telepathic squid. Fucking "Stockton Rush". Unbelievable.

this whole oceangate submarine fiasco has actually led to a lot of interesting talks and debates about the grey area of human empathy vs the inclination to recoil at the bizarre behaviors of the ultra wealthy and how people struggle with both ideas and is actually very interesting to watch play out in different types of people

Can’t believe I haven’t seen anything on here about the rich-people-tourism submarine (steered by a video game controller???) that went missing on the way to the Titanic ruins.
This seems like the kind of story this site usually latches onto
UPDATE/EDIT (I put this in a reblog as well but just so ppl see it): it seems like it was possibly carrying researchers/explorers as well? I haven’t seen a manifest yet, but either way, I feel awful for the passengers/crew and their families, this has got to be harrowing for them
June 22, 2023, 2:50pm EST Update: OceanGate released a statement saying they believe those aboard the Titan submersible “have been sadly lost.” According to the US Coast Guard press conference at 3pm EST, the debris found is “consistent with catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber.”
