RIP I guess
At least if it was an implosion they didn't suffer.

The memes are hilarious though



People generally have less sympathy for those seen as being in a privileged position.

But also they paid $250K for what anyone with common sense could see was a death trap so it's hard to feel too sorry for them aside from the 19 years old kid

They probably were too excited to be worried over any potential death.

Cant really blame them. Some people are addicted to adrenaline (see McAfee)

 

[SJRB]

This implosion happened faster than their neural system takes to process that something is even happening. They were literally dead before they even realized something was wrong.

Insane finale to a fucking insane story.

So true.

But not just rich people. Anyone doing something risky is in the same boat. I've seen my share of disastrous base jumpers swan diving to their death.

Never felt one ounce of pity or remorse. I find the videos one part freaky circus and one part hilarious.

 

[feynoob]

Feel sorry for their family.

Press conference starting now.....

 

[poppabk]

The thing is that this tragedy was avoidable if the owner of the company hadn't made so many glaring mistakes, to the point of absurdity. The level of stupidity is staggering, so it's difficult to take this situation seriously.

He did manage to get that thing down to the titanic a couple of times so they had some serious engineering know-how. But hombrewing a vessel for a task that is at the extremes of engineering capabilities was always gonna be a roll of the dice.

 

[Rentahamster]

Don't get me wrong, nothing offends me, it's never too soon to make jokes IMO..
But usually when bad shit happens I'm being careful who I joke about it to.. but for some reason this event..
everyone who would tell me too soon is making constant jokes.
almost like it's that rich lives don't matter.

Is that the only common characteristic that these individuals share?

 

[Patrick S.]

Feel sorry for their family.

Me too. Very tragic and horrific accident. I hope many lessons will be learned from this.

WTF?!

 

[AJUMP23]

What a loser.

 

[Saber]

It was a disaster waiting to be happening...luckily they didn't feel a thing.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Admiral is like basically saying "They died instantly before the search even began" without stating it.

Well, it's one of those things involving a big event and big money. And when you got each passenger willing to pay $250,000 everyone business owner would be sweating in excitement.

As for the passengers, are you the type of person who will go to trustworthy businesses? Or are you the type of consumer who sees something really cool and will just do it even though the business clearly has no reputable image, nor are they a big corporation which would have tons of process and proven safety standards involved?

Call me an untrusting rebel, but if I was itching for water activities, I'd just stick with a cruise ship or do white water rafting from a place with A+ safety ratings and has been around for decades.

It's not even about the money even if I had a quarter million to blow like it's peanuts. It's about the entire evaluation of: product, trustworthiness, how itching I am for thrills.

If you needed an xray, would you go to a hospital with proven gear? Or go to someone's house using an xray machine he built in his garage? For me, I'd be a hospital gear guy.

 

[NickFire]

Same guy who rakes companies over coals because of overtime. Ain't that some shit.

 

[DanteFox]

Horrendous way to go.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Fish gon' eat gud. Sorry I can't feel bad for them.

I'm trying to be a better person but it's not working out so much for me. I'll try harder next year.

Yeah they having some Indian and French finger foods down there.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Fucking weasel.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

I loved the end part where the reporter was like "Can we get the names of the people who spoke today?" and the navy lady was like shit.... "Let me get back to you."

 

[ssringo]

Same guy who rakes companies over coals because of overtime. Ain't that some shit.

I've certainly laughed at some of the jokes and memes about this event but coming from him it feels dirty and mean spirited. Doesn't help that his "joke" isn't remotely funny.

 

[FUBARx89]

Bet ya the piss weasel sharp deletes it.

The majority of white knights on social media are no different than the avg person. They make fun and say disgusting things too. They just try to put on this angelic image. Well, at least Jason S came out clean and showed how he truly is today. Yup, no different than the typical person I know at work

RIP Titan sub crew

I bet Hollywood makes a movie of this tragedy in a few years.

2K people ready to screencap this.

Yo dude, buy a windows license.

 

[Adam_802]

Lol the piece of shit can't help but let his true colors show for a bit. And its not even a funny/clever joke. You can tell he obviously just wanted to say something cruel and tastless about the submarine first, and needed to make up a quick 'joke' to tack on half-heartily to hide behind.

Everyone should tag Bloomberg and let them know about that tweet....

 

[bender]

WTF?!

Not surprising coming from a leech like him.

 

[AtomicStarving]

Do you know the even worst news? Another movie plot for Hollywood.

 

[ShadowNate]

Not the end I was rooting for. It seems that those happen only in movies.

From what I'm reading now they make it sound like it was a miracle this didn't happen earlier.

What a tragedy.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Wanna bet he will delete this tweet soon?

 

[GeorgioCostanzaX]

Honestly if I had to choose between instantaneous painless death from implosion vs living for a few days in pitch black while slowly running out of oxygen smelling human waste I’d choose instant death every time.

Dying of oxygen deprivation is also a "painless" way to die because you go into a coma due to carbon monoxide poison.

Imagine if Boeing made airplanes that could only fly twice and then crashed.
No one would call that good engineering.

Yo dude, buy a windows license.

I have one. I grabbed this off Google search

 

[Wildebeest]

This whole thing seems to have caused some serious outbreaks of twitter brain.

 

[Tams]

Not surprised at all. Thing looked like a death trap.

I have no idea what possessed the costumers to get in that thing. The equivalent of 'summit fever' I guess.

That's media whores for ya. Always got to chime in to get some clicks. And if popular events take over media and nobody notices them, their ego and career go down the toilet.

 

[Adam_802]

Era thread on this just got locked. The reason?.....

"Since some of y'all are openly admitting to harassing Jason Schreier, we're temporarily locking this thread to review posts and get y'all to cool off."

LMAO cowards.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Wonder what an implosion does to a human body.

Are we talking about the body just blowing up like if you'd sit on a grenade or what?

Jason practices seletive outrage. Something is only offensive or bad if it contradicts his worldview. otherwise, it’s all fair game, baby.

He's one of the mod's pets, of course they would be banning people.

 

[Gambuzin0]

Jason is one big pile of shit!

 

[Rush2112]

The pressure down there is 6000 pounds per square inch. It instantly melts your bones into liquid. That is why Titanic has no skeletons. Only clothing / shoes.

Assuming that they were at a large pressure differential when it happened, they were crushed into a paste within a fraction of a second. Very tragic, but all things considered, probably the most painless way to die out of all the possible ways they could have died.

I think it's like if you smash a fly with both of your hands.

True but it’s not over in an instant in this scenario: days of poo, claustrophobia and pitch blackness come first.

 

[FUBARx89]

Jason is just a little bitch boy with no spine, last time he posted a "joke" he had people jumping on him and he backed down immediately and deleted it. It will be no different this time. He's a bell end who won't stand by what he says. Bloomberg should just sack him

This is the last one I can remember

Edit - Just as I said above, deleted. So here it is for prosperity.
