Titanic tourist submersible goes missing with search under way

That being said, I imagine that CEO spent his last hours thinking of ways he could've been saved then remembering that's something he deliberately chose to not have and fired the guy for suggesting.

 

[AnOminous]

I'm guessing they were compressed into something resembling a stepped on beer can 1.75 hours into the voyage because that's the most likely outcome and also the most metal as fuck death a bunch of coddled richers could possibly hope for.

Imagine being a lolbert who thinks regulations are oppressive retardation, only to die like a retard because you ignored those very same regulations and built yourself a submarine out of load-bearing drywall because "muh geenyus."

If I were that engineer I'd be feeling pretty fuckin smug right now and figuring out how to turn it into some kind of six figure deal for the documentary.

I used to dive on wrecks for fun. The rules are that you stay off the recent mass / war graves - things like the Royal Oak are designated as war graves and are out of bounds to divers. They do get dived - you need a permit and there needs to be justification for it. Some wrecks have been surveyed by the RN for example, and others need to be checked for stability if they are a risk to anything or contain ordnance (there’s a ship sunk off the UK south coast called the Richard Montgomery which is packed with enoigh explosives to take out half of sheerness and its next to an LNG terminal and supertankers pass by it all the time…)
I’m wondering why you’re allowed to even dive the wreck. It’s a mass grave. Exploration I can kind of get, but commercial exploitation is unpleasant.

gravedigging. There's many valuables to be had if you can find them and bring them up.

Remember, these rich retards are dying (or more likely already dead) in a pathetic tin can about the size of a minivan inside, which doesn't even have seats so they're sitting cross-legged Indian style in this piece of shit, dying while staring at each other. They have billions of dollars on the surface, but under the ocean they're just fucking retards who paid $250,000 to die gasping.

 

[>tfw no Asian gf]

I choose to believe that they were killed by a horrific deep sea monster.

4. Hull Crushed by pressure instantly
7. Oxygen rich environment catching fire akin to Apollo 1

Here's a quick basic bitch summary of something I read in a book about submarines a long damned time ago:

When the pressure vessel implodes, everything in that sub is instantly incinerated anyways. O2 atmosphere will ignite when the pressure vessel collapses. Fried one second, shrimp food in icy water half a second later.

It really is a hilarious way to go for him. "There haven't been any deaths, so regulations are unnecessary." Gee, I wonder why there haven't been any deaths, you stupid fuck?

"Things would be so much easier if I could send my slapdash, no-escape tin can to the dark depths of the ocean! Think of the inspiration! Wow, I'm so innovative, it's a wonder nobody has done this before!" wow

you're assuming it fell to the seabed horizontally. a 15 degree slope would be annoying, but if they caught on something and are at a 45 degree slope they would all be squished together.

It is a weird, cruel form of karmic justice, but justice it is.

The only way it could be more poetic is if it had been Lightoller's descendants on board.

 

[Adolphin]

The amount of ways these assholes could have died is pretty impressive

1. Hypothermia
2. Oxygen Depletion
3. Infighting
4. Hull Crushed by pressure instantly
5. Slow leak of water
6. Fast leak of water
7. Oxygen rich environment catching fire akin to Apollo 1
8. Just a regular electrical fire

I'm sure I could probably come up with a few extra but its late. I suspect the Coast Guard and Navy will be dicking about for weeks looking for this shit just as a training mission, whether or not they'll winch it up remains to be seen. This fucking thing may have drifted hundreds of miles via under sea currents if it didn't get snagged on the hull of the Titanic itself or some sort of ballast fuckup that embedded it in the sea surface.


You seem to be forgetting the 24/7 death counter for covid that CNN and others had for years.

Any leak of water at those depths would have resulted to an implosion anyway. Personally, I think it is an implosion, but an electrical failure/fire seems quite likely. Also, to respond to the above, it is even more hilarious since they have signed waivers regarding litigation in case of harm or death.

 

[Betonhaus]

maybe it was eaten by a whale on the descent or attacked by orcas?

 

[AnOminous]

these motherfuckers got a "OXYGEN REMAINING" countdown timer holy shit thats dark

Lmao they should have a more nuanced "oxygen remaining" countdown depending on who has killed whom to preserve the oxygen supply. The oxygen supply meter should be based on how many people are left who didn't murder each other.

you're assuming it fell to the seabed horizontally. a 15 degree slope would be annoying, but if they caught on something and are at a 45 degree slope they would all be squished together.

Now that I think about that, I'm kind of hoping for it. Imagine being one of the richest people in the world, dying on the bottom of the ocean while a Pakistani death-shits in your face.

It must be really horrible. I'm looking forward to laughing at the grisly details.

I like to imagine those nonspecific banging noises they picked up as "signs of life" were the other 4 beating the CEO who bragged about building a death trap out of some stuff he found in the trash to death for condemning them to a cold dark grave that reeks of BO and human shit.

I hope they at least all had cellphones and took video of murdering and getting murdered so we can laugh at that stuff at some point. Maybe there's even footage of them negotiating as to who needs to get killed to buy them a few more hours of oxygen. I want to see that shit.

Imagine entrusting your life to a Bluetooth device, a standard that even IEEE ceased maintenance for, a "standard" that is such a joke that Bluetooth idiots had to create their own certifying agency to pretend they were even adhering to any standard, a fake standard for morons that is so shitty that you can't even listen to shitty mumble rap from SoundCloud without its quality being audibly degraded.

These people deserve to die. I will actually be pissed off if they are saved. I really want them to be found having viciously murdered and cannibalized each other to survive, and/or violently raped each other because that is what ultra-rich fuckheads do when trapped underwater asphyxiating in a tin can.

Some may consider this harsh, but everyone involved in this story should die.

I too have a hatred for Bluetooth from both personal experience and tech support jobs. I bet they got fucked by a dodgy Bluetooth driver.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

The event is really top tier "Do you think this is funny?" Joker film meme. Like at the very least the CEO of the company is the symbol of every bad practice in modern corporations (with the rest almost certainly dancing to the tune of ESG scores and insane investing), only to pathetically die at the momument of corporate hubris.

While listening to horrifically bad music.

Contrarian glib Libertarianism is really not the underpinning ideology you would want in a Deep Sea tourism set up.

 

[PaladinBoo]

If it takes a few dead billionaires to discredit wokeshit, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. I will bravely and resolutely volunteer the sacrifice of every billionaire on earth to protect a future for white children.

Fuck, I hope these rich fucks last thoughts before dying is how their buddies Larry Fink and Klaus Schwab fuck them over with their DEI and ESG bullshit and with their final breathes curse Fink and Schwab and vow to haunt them from beyond the grave. I'm just glad it is rich billionaire fucks who all supported this ESG and DEI shit that are now finally suffering from the consequences of their actions instead of innocent people.

kinda gives the phrase "hoist by his own petard" a whole new horrific meaning.
reminds me of that infamous scene from "Kickass":
