When I was a kid I used to think I could make a parachute with my bed sheets. I would jump of the top bunk and be surprised every time I hit the ground hard. This is the adult equivalent to that and I feel zero sympathy for them and anyone that thought this was a good fucking idea.
After listening to todays the daily episode, i think the ocean pressure crushed this thing as soon as it got down so far
i like to think that one of the last two passengers remaining told the other one “wow, way to suck all the air out of the room” as they both passed out
With todays tech I’m shocked we can’t find this thing or it didn’t have some tracking beacon. Guess the ocean is a mother fucker sometimes
With the defense budget, I can’t believe the navy didn’t know exactly where this submersible was at all times.
To be completely fair, we only know that the CEO was a moron pied piper who thought safety was for assholes not as smart as him, which made this happening to him pretty funny. The other 4 mightve been fine if credulous
So turns out that some local billionaires here were suing the company because they didn't get to go on the sub. They already did the space thing too. I went to a ballet gala and they had to beg them to donate $10k, just the worst.
If it got its head stuck in the Titanic, some deepwater leviathan would definitely happen along and fuck it from behind. Maybe that was the banging noise.
Me, a libertarian: I’m terrified of living in a nanny state. Also me: the government should be able to find a 22-foot metal tube in an area twice the size of Connecticut but also underwater in seconds.
I feel like people are forgetting that 2.5 miles underwater isn't like diving to the deep end of Uncle John's pool.
These stupid fucks also took the first space flight. This whole experience is proof we need high taxes
Did they get into the details around how/why this voyage would have been catastrophic and the prior ones weren’t? Interested to hear that side of things.
