Titanic tourist submersible goes missing with search under way

[Friendly Primarina]

Older people call young adults "kid" to denote their relative lack of experience. That doesn't mean they are actually children. It's weird to treat a 19-year-old as a kid IMO.

"For our souls in the ocean forever will be" - some paki, probably.

Null introduced me to this song. I can't believe I forgot about it.

 

[SleepingBull]

It would be an admiralty law case under the Jones Act, which covers torts and crimes committed by or against U.S. citizens in navigable waters.

Regardless, I doubt the court has the authority to unimplode anyone.

Sure, the company is as good as dead, not like it wasn't regardless of the legal whatever. The bits and bobs of value will be carved up by whoever puts in the effort and has the reach to carve them up.

The core of the situation is outside any judicial system. The only governing body that has authority over taking your tin can down to the Titanic is Neptune, and that isn't going to change for next time. If someone wants to do it then that is entirely between them and Neptune. If someone wants to turn it into a business then that it entirely between them, their clients, and Neptune.

The real shame is that any waver both should and probably wouldn't highlight that fact. In bold, at the top: "This venture is not subject to regulation from any government, only regulations from gods and natural forces"

While yes, if he broke any laws, the waiver would be null I imagine, but he seemed to have specifically designed his company to outright bypass any laws. The whole incident happened in international waters, what are we gonna do, claim the ocean? If what he was doing was actionable in any way he would've been stopped before this ever happened, this wasn't the first voyage the S.S. Pepsi Can took to the titanic.

Because international waters belong to the old man of the sea Poseidon should raise Atlantis back out of the waves and call in a favor from Hades to bring the shade of the CEO up from the underworld so that Poseidon can rule on this matter. We will then get C-SPAN footage of lawyers, relatives, and subject matter experts verbally tearing him a new asshole. After Poseidon awards damages to the aggrieved parties he will then close out the proceedings by telling the CEO "That was one of the funniest and most avoidable incidents at sea that I've ever seen. Good job retard." before sinking Atlantis again with all the journalists and lawyers still on board.

 

[Paranoia Machine]

Oh my God, if only this could have been avoided somehow

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

I feel nothing at all knowing people paying $250k to board a tin can so they could go on a dangerous trip to visit a heavily documented place are likely dead.

Like seriously, bro.

What else can you get from looking at the most documented wrecked ship in person that you can't get from the thousands of hours of video footage that has been taken?

Not to mention that they were straight bolted in because of the water pressure, so you can't even actually physically interact with anything down there.

I mean, maybe if you were looking for some kind of buried treasure or something you could actually profit from, but otherwise just be a normal rich asshole and pay $10,000 for a total of six minutes of Zero G.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

Matt Walsh says we're sickly people for joking about the sinking of the sub.

What a faggot. Even Glenn Beck was laughing about the shit sub design.

One less stupid billionaire in the world and the WEF is going to try to memoryhole well into the abyss the CEO was a member. Never let them forget what a bunch of jokes they are.

 

[Pee Cola]

It's the best possible outcome all round. We get to laugh at a bunch of millionaires fucking around and finding out, and said millionaires get to die a quick and painless death instead of slowly going insane whilst suffocating in a tin can thousands of feet below sea level.

The fact that one of these winners was a (((WEF))) member is a cherry on top.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

Imagine trying to spend time with your dad on Father's Day, and the dumbass takes you on a trip that literally kills you, and everyone else who went.

Fuck everyone else, but that guy was just trying to make his dad happy.

 

[God's drunkest driver]

This was a goddamn monocoque submersible, and I cannot think of a more personally horrifying phrase than those two words put together.

wut? Find me a submersible with an internal frame. Monocoque is the name of the game here, titanium spheres with steeply beveled portholes and extremely thick high strength tubes are the only things that will survive down there. You can't rely on a frame because the spaces between frames are inherently weak. Pressure vessels never have frames, the skin has to be strong enough to not crush between frames anyway so all they do is add weight. There's no inherent flaw with monocoque construction here, it's basically the same thing as every other submersible other than the composites, the problem was that it was designed and operated by idiots. Xbox controllers and regular computer monitors aren't what you use to control a deep sea vessel, and you don't "not hire 50 year old white guys" because you want to be "inspirational" when you're trying to design something that has to be safe in an extremely demanding environment. The people who run this company are cavalier dipshits and have no respect for the gravity of what they're doing.

Only the CEO was American. The others were Pakistani, British, and French.
Ok I mean technically the business would fall under a crime commited by a US citizen, so I actually may be wrong here.

The U.S. defendant would be under U.S. jurisdiction for the purpose of suits by aliens. And the U.S. would probably be the most fruitful jurisdiction to sue in. I am not sure about Pakistan, but I am pretty sure there are circumstances where the British or French citizens (or representatives of their estates) could sue in their home countries, but not sure of the actual mechanism.

There may be buried in the contract some kind of choice-of-law or choice-of-forum provision that specifies where a case would be heard and under what law. And there could be an arbitration clause that sends it to binding arbitration.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

Oh, well. Their Wealth Will Go On.

gotta be one hell of an awkward afterlife meet and greet to have a bunch of mostly poor and working class people killed by the hubris of rich assholes vs. rich assholes hoisted by their own retardation while trying to gawk at their grave.

In a weird way it feels like the poor people on the lower decks of the titanic that were trapped have finally been avenged 111 years later.

 

[A Grey Cat]

Pov of the crew the instant the hull imploded, Hope they got what they wanted.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

I'm not a nihilist, but a complex irony appreciator.

An old white man CEO who disregards safety in the name of hype and discriminates against other old white men because they're not inspirational enough ends up going down with his ship due to his own hubris, ending up as a cautionary tale?

A French maritime expert who dedicates his life to researching the Titanic ends up becoming another victim of it, making it so his death will be studied by future Titanic experts?

A Pakistani WEF member who promotes globohomo shit to make the world better for the elites' descendants at the expense of everyone else's ends up bringing his kid on this fatal expedition, severing his bloodline?

I'm sure there's something about the British guy too, just need to think about it more.

From eating crustaceans to getting eaten by crustaceans.

 

[Cool Dog Returns]

This is one of those 'where were you when it happened' moments...

apolgy for bad english

where were u wen ocean gate die

i was at house eating cookie when phone ring

"ocean gate is kil"

"no"

Tbh this is why you’re not rich.

I'm not rich because my parents werent rich, most of these billionaires had millionaires parents that opened doors for them that I didnt have. Generational wealth tends to accumulate like that, all those startup founder who "started in a garage" forget to mention it was a mansion's garage in the middle of silicon valley, nyc, la or some other important rich city

The only case I know of a guy in tech who was rag to riches was the koum ukie behind whatsapp but the guy just "happened" to land at mountain view thanks to being jewish getting him a free visa, "happened" to get hired by yahoo during the dotcom craze when they were giving away money for free, and "happened" to be friends with a rich guy who gave him $250k in funding for his app that only some bydlos in russia were using at the time, loooots of coincidences

Btw koum became a piece of shit like all rich slavs are, getting his bodyguards to punch people he doesnt likes and beating his gf. Also donating to aipac for getting him that visa and shit

It's actually amazing they found what's left of the thing given a multinational search party sparing no expense has failed to find a Boeing 777 in nine years.

Never forget how well connected billionaires are, most have presidents on speed dial so of course they were gonna mount a search party right away

sick trolls

All normalfags I know are joking about this shit

The slightest fuckup will kill you, whether instantly or excruciatingly slowly.

I was talking about space-only hence "starships", not rockets or SSTO

Let us mourn their passing in the tradition started by Hamish Harding the stepson of one of the billionaires. Listening to Blink 182 and jacking off to Onlyfans thots.

That nigga be swimming in money soon, unless the billionaire had any kids of his own

I don’t have any.

Figures, only pics I seen are from that piece of the hull they managed to drag up

The one group of experts he didn't ignore was hiring Jewish lawyers to draft the ultimate death waiver.

"Yeah? well I'll hire the biggest jew lawyer in Jew-york!"

"And I'll hire the biggest jew lawyer in the jew-S-A!"

"Then I'll hire the biggest jew lawyer in the JEWNIVERSE!"

Now that I've found out a kid died, I feel really bad for laughing at this. Poor kid.

He was 19, kids that age are getting blown to pieces in the ukr-rus war right now

he would've grown up to be just like them, tbh

Anyone knows if he was one of those shitty rich kids on tiktok?

View attachment 5174309

They dont eat flesh they eat fucking coconuts, its the name Turns out they eat anything like all fat fucks do, still not going that deep

And besides those live on the beach, these idiots are goona get eaten by these deep sea niggas:

it would cost ~$50 million to build a DSV like the Alvin from scratch

That faggot probably spent more on his biz jet

Actually with their history of sub building theyd probably be a more compotent contractor then whatever the fuck this was

You know you fucked up when a cocked up colombian working on a shed in the middle of the jungle can make a better sub

But jokes aside those narco subs are just submersibles and go just below the surface

because we all know that these basement socialists would suck the lacquer off a wooden horse cock if it earned them a million dollars, never to "redistribute" a cent.

Oh of course just look at the average limo socialist like dicaprio lecturing people about emissions from his private jet

Dont worry tho if I ever become generalissimo of the planet all basement socialists and all billionaires get the bullet, equality see?

Well its on sale on Amazon right now.

The nigger who had a warehouse of those for the last 18 years must be laughing right now

Okay the kid is the only one I give my sympathies to.


I know that some of you are going to say "well I would told my dad no!" but kids at that age still want to prove their worth to their parents (especially if there's a billion dollars worth of inheritance at stake) and hindsight is 20/20.

Why was an international rescue effort costing millions done, then? What are (((they))) trying to memoryhole?

 

[AnOminous]

Regardless, I doubt the court has the authority to unimplode anyone.

I'll note the Jones Act would only necessarily cover the seamen's suit against the employer, with other principles giving jurisdiction for the torts against other people, including the foreign nationals. I clarified this in a subsequent edit. And yes, the corporate entity (wherever the hell it is) is probably dead as a doornail.

Can somebody make a meme with wings of redemption throwing one of his controllers?

 

[A Grey Cat]

Delicious irony of ironies. Both a night to remember and raise the titanic are free on youtube as of this momment. I only wish they hadn't been made free before this news broke

Or the one of Biden playing 'My Heart Will Go On' with the Titanic sub thing sinking like a stone.
