I find it strangely hard to care about the fate of a handful of multimillionaire tourists when hundreds of refugees died last week due to the indifference of the Greek authorities - and the media barely noticed.
Exactly- this is only news because their rich.

I hope there’s some kind of black box… what would be worse than it happenning again one day because we don’t know what happenned.
It’s controlled with a knockoff Xbox controller. I’ll bet the “black box” is a cassette recorder bought from Goodwill for $3 and then spray painted black
CBS dude rode on it and did an interview with the owner.
So many red flags.

Wow, that is super sketchy. Now I am not at all surprised this happened. Hope that company has a shit ton of insurance.
There was a conspiracy that the original titanic going down was an insurance scam.
An easily disproved one too, as the sister ships weren’t actually identical. Also the recent scan on the ship revealed the hull number 401 on one of the propellers putting another nail in the coffin of the idea the ship is actually the Olympic.
Oh i hate that stupid theory. That’s like top tier “looking for a conspiracy because we’ve got nothing better to do”
There’s also a conspiracy that my farts smell like rancid carrots because the government puts carrots up my butt while I’m sleeping
Why aren’t more people talking about big carrot? Wake up sheeple
Who even has the vessels that can go deep enough to rescue them? This is the stuff of nightmares
Gabe Newell, yes the owner of Valve/Steam, has an ocean research organization that owns a submarine designed to dive down to 10km, to some of the deepest parts of the ocean.

This adds to the picture of utter recklessness.
At the meeting Lochridge discovered why he had been denied access to the viewport information from the Engineering department—the viewport at the forward of the submersible was only built to a certified pressure of 1,300 meters, although OceanGate intended to take passengers down to depths of 4,000 meters. Lochridge learned that the viewport manufacturer would only certify to a depth of 1,300 meters due to experimental design of the viewport supplied by OceanGate, which was out of the Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy (“PVHO”) standards. OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters.
So they wanted to die. Got it.
Very wealthy people wasting a huge amount of society’s resources to have mild fun doing something very risky then having to get rescued on the back of society at a high cost. I say let’s enjoy watching them die.
this is a very weird first comment to make and the subsequent comments neither look productive nor particularly on topic. let’s save the thirsting for rich people blood for a topic where it’s more warranted folks, please and thanks.
But rich blood being spilled is the topic. They took a huge risk only to get more resources deployed to find them.
Regardless of one’s opinion the super rich, the thing also has crew that are just there because they’re paid to operate the thing, I doubt they make enough to buy tickets for this kind of thing themselves.
