how do we feel about ourselves as we wait to find out the inevitable: a bunch of rich twits have just made themselves a permanent part of the titanic wreck, including one "Ham Harding," the submarine CEO Stockton Rush, standard rich people names, then Paul Henry Nargeolet, obviously a french sub piloot, then some pakistani billionaire and his son the idea of "give rich people a tour to pay for research" oh, well, i guess it about cancels out. solid enough. then it goes wrong and is it just me or is it in the back of everyone's brain, a growing giggle that these people have paid $250k a head to bury themselves under the ocean? more than most earn in a year for a lark, and it ends them? and i feel the collective psyche torn between human compassion and schadenfreude do you feel this to be an accurate summation of the sub situation? [proud of my phrasing, here] |

summary: the sub suffered a catastrophic event due to weather on the way to the titantic wreck. they didn't even get to see it on the sub's TV screens. "it disappeared" and "it's a submarine" lead to some obvious fucking conclusions, esp. if you've already gone out to where you lost it and don't find it floating on the surface with an emergency lamp. weather sent it into rocks, the hull imploded, and "we lost a lost of valuable clients today" takes on new meaning etc but it's the predictable "oh technically the sub has two days air left" when that probably all of that leaked out on impact. just my two cents, though as i am not a british billionaire adventurer i may have it wrong |

richard never bought a submarine because it's even stupider than the helicopter idea |

i can see this project appeared kind of pointless. however i love deep sea diving and i respect everyone who has the guts to go down miles and tons of water. just hoping they dont ruin the deep sea with mining as they plan to do, submersible machines scraping all along the bottom of the sea, killing everything in their way for a little mangan. that is a real tragedy in my eyes. |

i cannot imagine a more horrid way to die than slowly suffocating on a submarine with a pakistani billionaire and his obese son. the smell would be intolerable. or imagine if it was simply dead and you're ten kliks under and the sub is just rolling like a-ing pin and then vomit gets involved so it's probably rather kind that CNN is using the words "catastrophic implosion." that it was quick and not a slow death of stewing in curry farts |

still dealing with nonsense bills from my foot, as, for like six weeks, i was depressed, useless, and obviously not getting much work done. there was no coherent option of disability whatever available and apparently it's my fault my foot is broken and i live in a house with a basement, two floors, studio in the attic, forced to move to more than what i need after landlady sold the rental out from underneath everyone in 2020, and i'm so fucked if i have to move now. so my mood is rather unforgiving, here: enjoy your $250k per person catastrophic implosion vacation you overpriviledged shits. that firefox thinks underprivileged is a word but overprivileged isn't. and a pakistani fart ruptured dat hull. |

Azmeh Dawood — the older sister of Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood — told NBC News that her nephew, Suleman, informed a relative that he “wasn’t very up for it” and felt “terrified” about the trip to explore the wreckage of the Titanic. smart kid! But the 19-year-old ended up going aboard OceanGate’s 22-foot submersible because the trip fell over Father’s Day weekend and he was eager to please his dad, who was passionate about the lore of the Titanic, according to Azmeh. nevermind; dumb shit. |

personally? it's a bit of a strange tangent. my father was generally sure of himself but if i vehemently mounted a coherent argument, then, well, kind of furrowing of the brows, and... really? do you think so? because if my son thinks this might be so, then perhaps i'm wrong and it is, because he's my son, after all, and i should expect to be over-ruled at times if he has anything close to what i hope for out of him with respect to clever. ...but my father was not a billionaire with the overinflated ego that comes along with it, and, i swear -- if this was my dad and i, even at the tender age of 19, i would have strongly argued against this idea and my dad would have listened. but when dad is a billionaire, it's harder to question him, and the whole dynasty goes down to the ship; good riddance. sending some of my bile down to the depths with them. |

anyone wondered how tasteless it is to visit the wet grave of thousands of immigrants/travellers? i mean i said i respect deep divers and i do, but its not really a "nice" place for a visit. so now they join company. r.i.p. people in europe are talking now about how millions are spent looking for those guys, while thousands drown in the mediterranean each year trying to escape drought, hunger, torture, religious nonsense and war. and rightfully so! coast guard gives a shit and its a disgrace what politicians do these days to keep immigrants out. as for the implosion, im pretty sure its the works of the atlantians. im also sorry you have to move out of your flat, epics thats fucked. and stop being a fart nazi, curry is great. |

Need to change thread tittle to « dead submarine twits » I just get annoyed every time someone tells me how stupid these people are/were. It seems to be the general consensus. |

just randomly, one day, in the car -- for some reason, as usual, i remember the exact physical location -- when i was 12 or 14, mum just randomly was telling me about dad. and reportedly, my dad was emphatic when discussing the possibility of kids with mum way back when: "I can't handle it if they're stupid. I can handle it if they're ugly, but I can't handle it if they're stupid" |

that really, russell -- i am indignant, here. positively indignant. with a side of incandescent/effervescent i'm offering genuine innovation to the conversation with the pakistani fart angle -- does being stuck on a submarine with a farting pakistani billionaire seem a good use of $250k to you? -- and all you can do is complain. SHEESH |

somehow Ham Harding acquired a Riced Out Yugo account last night and began posting. that site has no freaking quality control |

Getting crashed in a can in 0.2 sec with 4 others into human soup is pretty horrific. |

i still maintain that slowly running out of oxygen over 96 hours -- while trapped inside a small titanium can with a farting pakistani billionaire and no windows to open -- is far worse |

What if it wasn’t a malfunction or design flaw, but something spooky like a collision with an USO? Or maybe a giant squid. Kidnapped by the Lardossen search squad… |

javascript:follow('2628828') a t l a n t i a n s, or gillmen from lardossa, octopi are the type of creatures to develop tools and advanced tech, like we did. then youd see them cruisin in convertible subs, casual with their arms out the side, sucked to the chassis, while playing deep bass music in their pimped rides... |

i'm starting to hear russell -- this is starting to get a bit stale; we need to innovate a bit and find a new angle to complain about. so: What type of airplanes were searching for the submersible? Three C-130 aircraft and three C-17 transport planes from the U.S. military were scouring the sea in addition to Canadian military aircraft with sound-sensing equipment. it continues: Profile of the C-130 Hercules Wingspan 132.7 feet Length 97.9 ft. Crew Five total: two pilots, a navigator, flight engineer and loadmaster Capacity Capable of airlifting 92 ground troops, 64 fully equipped paratroopers or 45,000 pounds of cargo Profile of a P-3C Orion aircraft Primary function ~ Maritime surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft, long-range anti-submarine capabilities Wingspan 99.6 feet Crew 3 pilots, 2 flight officers, 3 sensor operators, 1 technician ...and, are we keeping tally, here? how many pilots are we up to now? i'm afraid i've lost count. that just the US air force sent at least fifty trained pilots on top-shelf military gear. for air coverage ...wait, this is ocean. what about boats? At least five vessels searched the ocean's surface, with another five on the way, Capt. Jamie Frederick, the First Coast Guard District response coordinator, said Wednesday. Also on scene were several private vessels including the Horizon Arctic, which found the wreckage, and Bahamian and French research vessels. ...yes, let's contract some private help too. you know, just in case. in case the government doesn't do a proper job. a few hundred people from various governments dropping everything they're doing to charge in and blow, i am sure, tens of $millions on this "rescue" op... it simply might not have been enough |

"we lost a lost of valuable clients today" takes on new meaning etc --EpicMegatrax, June 20 Cameron told BBC News the past week had "felt like a prolonged and nightmarish charade where people are running around talking about banging noises and talking about oxygen and all this other stuff". "I knew that sub was sitting exactly underneath its last known depth and position. That's exactly where they found it," he continued. James Cameron -- the freaking hack -- on June 23rd; clearly lifting the analysis of the world-renowned submersible expert, EpicMegatrax EpicMegatrax, wow, what a guy. He's so relevant that Jean-Michel Basquiat shot up in his bathroom once (...no, alright, i combined logic with a basic operating knowledge of physics and said exactly what he said, three days ahead of him, but i guess i need to learn about how to talk about My Contacts if i'm to get Kevin Roose's job) |

° stealing my valuable research ° fun facts about how the scale of this sub hunt makes Wagner group look small by comparison ° while i'm on it: throw a rock and you'll hit a story like... "new hampshire chaps face charges for being FUCKING IDIOTS at hiking and requiring an expensive rescue" or "Texas man sent bill for his own rescue because he is a fucking idiot" -- but that's at the state level. at federal level, i'm pretty sure no one's ever gotten a bill from the coast guard. so this extra fancy rescue is on the house. we have to do everything we can for the family of hamish harding |
