Exactly, it’s not like it’s some dudes on a mission to find food for their families, or working some shitty job where they have to go down there to earn money.
Makes me wonder how much people would care if it was just millionaires down there. Or if they’d care even more if it was trillionaires.
I was thinking the same thing. On that nightmare fuel diagram Ciaran posted it has a toilet labelled but with no toilet shown. Must be some sort of tiny box. Luxury.
I wouldn’t get in that thing on land.
Well it’s a real life set up to a thriller novel.
That’s the main interest I guess outside of the wealth of the people.
Imagine if it was some sort of ‘sea monster’ that got them! A Giant Squid or some sort of Megalodon that we don’t know about yet (we know more about space than the depths of our own oceans).
One of the videos of the sub showed it. It was literally just a plastic bottle they fished out of a compartment. No privacy in there.
There’s a curtain that’s drawn and they put on music.
Mr Hankey song?
At Christmas of course.
You see my comment sounds like a joke but it’s completely true.
Nah I know it’s true! Haha
I don’t want to live in a world where billionaires trapped at the bottom of the sea in a homemade submarine on a trip to visit the Titanic is not newsworthy.
I don’t think you have to go that far but then I don’t exactly blame you either, if they do die down there then it’s not a tragedy, it’s ‘just’ a needless and stupid death. It’s still a sad tale though, a father and son dying together like that is pretty horrific.
It sounds like they need a miracle now.
Yeah, I think it’s more the fact that they just went down there for shits and giggles, I’d feel more sad if they were some deep sea workers in a similar pickle but the fact they’re billionaires doesn’t really affect my thinking on their current predicament one way or another.
Meanwhile the step-son of one of the people in the sub is popping off on socials posting about going to a Blink-182 concert “because it’s what he would have wanted” and beefing with Cardi B.
you know those Reaper drones that bomb the shite out of civilians then call it “collateral damage” - X box controllers
Made the mistake of watching Sky news last night for five minutes, all they talked about was these rich twats paying daft money to strap themselves in to an untested death can but gave up talking about the hundreds of migrants swept to their deaths in the bowels of a criminally run shit box of a boat about 5 minutes after it happened and they realised the victims were brown and poor.
There are some days I fucking hate this world
You hate the world because of the news? I would advise you to stop watching it. There’s a lot more going on in the world that what you see on the news.
There’s an extent to which that’s true but its also an oversimplification. A normal disaster at sea just isn’t as interesting. If a plane crashes or a ferry sinks in some other part of the world even if the passengers are white and reasonably well off it won’t really occupy the news cycle here for long unless there’s something else interesting about it.
When those Chilean miners were trapped underground and there was a race against time to get them out it was all over the news for ages.
Yeah the reason this is interesting to people is cos it’s playing out in real time and there’s an actual countdown to the oxygen running out (if they’re not dead already).
Most other disasters we don’t hear about until after they’ve already happened
Who gives a fuck.
Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are going to have a fight.
Hahaha let’s gooo!!
Mr Zuckerberg, the boss of Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta, then posted a screenshot of Mr Musk’s tweet with the caption “send me location”.
“Send me location” being a classic Khabib quote for those who don’t know their UFC.
What a morning jheez
