Inspiring youth to get in a tin can, tie a string to it and jump in the ocean. Couldn't they just go over Niagara Falls in a barrel? It'd probably be cheaper.

Shit you just reminded me of that couple who went diving in one of those group charter boats and somehow got left behind, surfaced to see empty ocean surrounding them everywhere they looked. Fuck that must have been terrofying! I think they made a movie about those people

You'd think with that much money if you were going thrill seeking you'd be able to hire some people to vet the shit to make sure it's built right and by humans instead of out of cardboard boxes by diversity hires. If the Internet can find that shit in seconds a private investigator shouldn't have much issue either.

The Left screeching 'trust the science' whilst also believing that women can has peen...
It could have been worse, I guess, it could have been an under the ocean 'Fyre Fest' type event...

You don't UNDERSTAND! He was so much smarter than the people he fired for telling him that he is running this project like an abject retard. I've worked for people who act like him before and they don't fucking learn.

If you've read the novel version of Jurassic Park, the CEO especially is more or less the IRL version of Hammond in the book.
Whole situation is basically a damn Crichton novel come to life.

I don't feel bad for them. They're a bunch of rich assholes and they signed a waiver that from what I hear mentioned death like 3 times on the front page. The only thing they deserve is a Darwin award.

Tom and Eileen Lonergan, whose disappearance inspired the 2003 film Open Water. Absolute nightmare scenario. I'd take the sudden splat of deep sea compression over that any day. Fuck it, just avoid the ocean altogether.

I don't mean the retard who built it, but the people going on it. You'd think if you're a billionaire, you'd have people to look into this shit before you trust some retard to take you to the bottom of the ocean in a metal tube that was built by curly haired black women.
Hell, I have a game controller hooked up to my PC, and it's wired because I don't want to fuck around with the wireless bullshit.

I can't fucking get over this. Control of the submersible is all that's between you and the Almighty. And for that task you choose this. And brag about it, in front of other people.
No wonder this thing popped like a balloon.

Pure hubris. The guy was an idiot that fired anyone who told him he was setting himself and anyone dumb enough to sign up with him for a disaster.
Im not one of the people that seem to be gloating that a bunch of dumb rich assholes paid 250k to be turned into shrimp food but I have no sympathy for anyone that could look at that fucking
I wouldnt trust that thing to dive to the deep end of a swimming pool.

Oh, those retards. They think that because they are rich that they are wise. I'm sure that wise and rich people exist, but wisdom would allow them to see a rickety deathtrap for what it is before shelling out 250k for the privilege to experience crush depth personally. It is also in my personal experience that a lot of people with money have no idea how anything works and think nothing they can do would be unwise or ill-informed.

Its also wireless. The craft only had one button. Imagine them losing connection. or someone accidently crushed that shit with their ass. wtf are they going to do?

To be fair, any reasonable person getting into a submarine would assume it's been extensively tested with safety measures in place in case anything happens.
Then again, they did see the Logitech controller at the helm. That should've at least raised a couple of red flags.

Might be a bit conspiratorial but at this stage, there's so many stupid fuckups in this whole thing that it makes me wonder whether this is essentially a coverup to make the guy and a few paying customers "disappear" and setup life elsewhere for some reason.
I mean a death in such a remote place would be incredibly difficult to prove, and the types of clients he attracts definitely wouldn't mind chucking tens of millions at the guy to make it happen. A half-dozen billionaires can effectively erase their public presence and do whatever the hell they want with that newfound anonymity. Maybe getting away from people, or maybe it's just easier to be powerful as fuck when nobody knows you exist.
Nothing really supports this theory right now as all efforts are going towards search and rescue ops. But I'm wondering if in time it will come out that some of the passengers had suspicious withdrawals before their trip.
I dunno, the fuckups seem so crazy it's hard to believe they genuinely occurred. But there are plenty of fucking idiots in the world. Plus, if the goal was to get a bunch of people off the radar then this being such a big thing in the media is the last thing they'd want, as it brings in nosy people.
