Death by live action Crichton/Benchley collab.

Just an awful tragedy for everyone involved, except the OceanGate CEO. F*ck that guy.

A massive implosion on its way down to the Titanic. Good grief, can you imagine it? You're just sitting there cross-legged on the floor and BOOM, the bulkhead a foot away from you explodes at you. And, most likely, you explode.

Also, it's really upsetting the number of people dancing on the graves of these people simply because they had a lot of money. I can understand the anger at the captain, but the actual delight, even celebration I'm seeing at the deaths... wow, that's some pretty telling stuff.

They wouldn't even be aware of the implosion, it's as sudden as your ears popping. Which, considering the alternative in this case (slowly suffocating for several days while trapped in a cold, damp, silent and dark metal tube at the bottom of the sea in cramped conditions with no food, water or hope, while surrounded by bodily waste and four other panicked humans), was truly a mercy.

I hated this story and have been hoping for days that they find these people. What an awful way to go, no matter how it happens.

Very depressing story, more body count added to the Titanic tragedy, surprised it wasn't brought up here earlier. Also, the CEO turned out to be the great-great-grandson-in-law of the old couple who sunk together with the Titanic, Isidor & Ida Straus.

Yeah for everything that’s happened, I’m a bit saddened by the supposed schadenfreude happening in some commentary circles. On the other hand as noted, if they were never coming back up alive, a quick and relatively painless demise was better than slowly suffocating to death.

The family's reporting that the 19 year old didn't want to go but wanted to please his father since they departed on Father's Day. That's f*cking heartbreaking, I can't imagine the family's pain.

Terribly sad...what a way to go, but was entirely their own foolish choice. That one guy who was going to go with them and changed his mind made the best and luckiest decision of his life.

Would he have fit? I thought five was the max capacity. Still like sardines having seen the inside…

Not entirely true in the case of the kid who just wanted to please his dad.

I wouldn’t even want to be in there by myself, let alone with other people. Worse than being buried alive.

You certainly wouldn’t have gotten the better half anywhere near that, she can’t even ride a crowded Tube train without getting claustrophobic. Myself, would have been fine, except for the fact you don’t actually SEE the Titanic, it’s all projected on screens, no different to having the robot drone go down and transmit the images to the surface.

There was a kid? Well that's horrible, poor kid.

Not sure, saw the guy speaking on the news. Maybe someone else took his spot after he changed his mind.

Wouldn't that be even worse? Traveling to the bottom of the ocean all alone... deeper and deeper.

Exactly! I kept thinking about that to myself even before I learned they wouldn't be able to see a damn thing out the viewport anyway. Stay topside and watch if it's all the same. It's just that the bastard CEO wanted to go down there himself and conned four others into covering his fuel expenses (around 1 million, which amounts to four people at 250k a pop).

A 19 year old who, according to the family, didn't particularly want to go but was talked into it by his father and wanted to please him, especially since it was booked for Father's Day. Saddest part of the whole thing, IMO.

You guys mean Mário Ferreira, right? He's a somewhat controversial figure here in Portugal but I'm glad he didn't go.

Not really. Not to me, at least. Orhers may feel differently. Plus, plenty of leg room.

Is this for sure? I was seeing this piece spreading like wildfire on social media, but just by people who clicked on a clickbait.

Yes, his aunt said he was terrified of the sub but went along anyway.

Okay, so it wasn't like an 8-year-old, but that's still a damn shame, he'll never really get to live life.

Only sane person there.

Yeah, Twitter is full of heatless heathens laughing, applauding and celebrating all these people dying, and you know... they're the ones on the right side of history so they say.

Like dude, human life is still human life. What the ****.

I read somewhere that Musk is going to consider the use of "CIS" and "CISGendered" as hate speech.

And rightfully so because that's what it's become.
