That's where I am. Fuck the other billionaire assholes, but the kid knew shit was fucky and got pressured into getting into that sub.
Also got pressured in the sub…
(I’m sorry. That was terrible. I also feel for the kid but I couldn’t pass on the pun.)
You crushed it, don't worry.
I was seeing the same joke on the first reading, so I think you're in the clear, mate.
Did his dad make him go? I thought the story was he was gonna go with his wife but his son took the spot because he wanted to go.
She said: “It was supposed to be Shahzada and I going down. I stepped back and gave the place to Suleman because he really wanted to go.”
I recall reading that because it was a sort of father's day trip the son decided to go?
Interpreting “drop two weights” as “we need to ascend” only 90 minutes into the journey, right before the implosion, could mean they likely knew shit was about to go sideways. They were probably just starting to panic and then, pop.
And what a dickhead making his son go with him. Poor guy.
One of my best friends died when his fishing vessel capsized in Alaskan waters basically over new years. The coast guard basically gave up that night. I was not angry at the CG at the time because it's just how it is, there is basically next to no chance of survival unless you got on a life boat and it's something you are taught, just a fact of life in a fishing village. So when they were searching for that fucking sub for weeks long after they would have run out of air or water I was beyond pissed.
Fuck rhe coast guard. If they want to be real military they can go homeless and OD on fent. Fuck this cunt wife of his i hope the dispare makes her end her life. Fuck their families. These people are cancer and deserve what they get. Fuck them. Overprivlaged fucking animals are a blight.
Edit: okay I calmed down a bit. I guess I can't be that angry at the CG as those rescue crews are one of the few members of the military that are actually useful even when they are being wasted on the rich I can still hate the leadership though.
I hear you.
Search and rescue is complex ethically.
Australia has the largest maritime search and rescue area and our GDP is tiny compared to most other countries. Shit gets really expensive mounting missions to the middle of the Indian ocean like for the mf370 flight and stuff.
I think the basic premise with search and rescue is that the expense is mostly disregarded if there's any likelihood that someone is still alive.
I suspect that these guys knew that, and didn't disclose that they'd heard this bang such that resources continued to be provided for the search. Who knows what I would've done. As an external party it's clearly "wrong" but I'll leave others to judge them for it.
Username checks out
I get that a lot. Not even drunk ATM this shitnjust infuriates me. So much of my life growing up was with the understanding of how dangerous the ocean is and how unlikely you are to survive falling into the ocean and how fast it will kill you. We did drills in school so we could get survival suits on in under 30 seconds. Whenever I hear a really loud alarm clock go off I get ptsd and wake up in a panic trying to find a survival suit in my own home
It's almost like finding Santa isn't real all over again only at least then I still felt like my life matered
Consider it SAR practice.
Inb4 the sick beat sampling it goes viral. (pretty please)
billionaires submarine imploding but its lofi
Lofi so low, the sea floor's in the ~~house~~ "submarine"
Now this I can study to!
Bear in mind, that's the sound of a 19 year old kid who didn't want to go on that trip dying.
and the sound of fall rain that lulls one to sleep is also the sound of the unhoused dying of hypothermia c'est la vie
That's what his aunt said, but his mother said otherwise.
beyond that, just before the fated voyage another billionare/millionaire and his son backed out of the ride for the same reason. that was a red flag. also making the ride 150k instead of 7-10mil in a titanium sphere is another big red flag.
Hunh. It's red flags... all the way down
~down~

New Kitness hit about to drop
How did this get into a Rammstein song before it even happened?
Remember Eros.
Ti-tan, die Sonne sheint..
Asking "what was that bang?" instead of saying “oh shit” was extremely professional of her.
She probably had no idea, doesn't look like she has any background in this type of work. If you watch the video, you can tell the two guys with her instantly know something has gone wrong.
That guy walking out didn't want to be the one to tell her.
Ah. I’m still at work and haven’t watched the video yet.
If you have someone you love on there, you are going to think of everything possible before you admit they are gone and no one can help them.
Oh fuck the realization on her face
I didn't see any realization. She got a message just after and responded to it like nothing happened.
Metal.
Most of it was carbon actually.
