Titanic tourist submersible goes missing with search under way

[Hall of Cost Payer]

Oh boy, the part with the interview with OceanGate's founder explains a lot.

Nice, the submersible doesn't have voice communication because the CEO "wanted to enjoy the depth of the ocean without being talked back to". If one person on that trip deserves what he got, it's the fucking CEO.

Also, some great insights on the oxygen, imagine being burned alive deep in the ocean because the tin can you went into was pumped full of oxygen instead of having an advanced system.

 

[AnOminous]

A lot of these regulations are written in blood, but when you've got shitloads of money it's easy to get complacent. The only thing I can say in favor of him is he was ballsy enough to actually go with them on the death vessel.

He was apparently one of those incredibly confident retards who do retarded, nearly insanely suicidal shit, and are convinced of their own correctness despite being stupid as fuck.

Didn't want to hire "50 year old white guys." Are now all dead.

Hope those woke points were worth it.

Same sort of shit that happened with the stunt double for the second Deadpool movie. Absolutely avoidable yet they chose to be stupid about it because they wanted Domino to be black. Hiring less qualified people purely because they're not white is incredibly short sighted in applications that require significant attention to detail.

 

[HerrKlicks]

This is like a Hitman 3 map where the elaborate kill opportunity is you sabotaging the controller by switching it out for one that has C4 in it and is rigged to blow at a certain depth. You can't write this shit.

Excellent work, 47. Now headtowards an exit

If you're going to go through the trouble of renting a sub to investigate a shipwreck, you should at least be doing it for plunder. Fuck the Titanic, take me down somewhere in the gulf where a Spanish treasure galleon sunk in 1610. I want that cursed mexican gold.

Uncle Sam and Spain and probably the State of Florida want that treasure more than you do. They'll let you do all the work finding it of course but as soon as you do they'll put you through legal hell and bankrupt you so you're unable to pay your investors and creditors and unable to pay an attorney to fight three different governments for the treasure you put all the work into recovering. Shipwrecks, and especially foreign shipwrecks are not worth the effort to harvest treasures from. Maybe if you're lucky you get to keep half if you can outlast the lawfare (don't forget to pay your 40+% taxes on that half too!)

Which i would pay money to do even knowing it was fake. Probably especially knowing it's fake. hell, why not just have you crawl into a tube on dry land that has computer-controlled suspension, sound effects, and pressure changes?

close enough? Too bad you'll need a time machine to see it. But hey, if you dig one up let me know. I wouldn't mind taking a couple trips and leaving behind some strategically placed banana peels.

Well that's why you do it illegally and don't ever tell anyone.

Listen, logitec used to make sone fine keyboards and mouses, i still have the keyboard with round volune control button from 2009, but I would never buy a logitec gamepad or graphic tablet, it's made poorly, buttons are like cheapest chinese toxic plastic, and most of all analog sticks break so easily it happens on its own.

 

[Cuckoman]

Don't want to hire experience people, because too wyte.
I am not surprised that a cowbow like this would eventually kill himself and all the passengers.
Only thing that surprised me is that he used a gamepad. I thought "control it via an app on his iFag phone" would be more in character for this kind of person. He does(did?) give off very strong startup tech-bro vibes.

 

[Positron]

STOP THE PRESS! The fatal flaws of the submersible identified!! Heterosexual reproduction and racism!

Rush was 60, white, and running a secretive business catering to extremely rich whites and honorary whites. I've been reading up on this on and off and I only found 1 wamen ex-passenger and have yet to see a woke hire.

50-year-old white guys cramped his style. He was a hip randroid superhero techbro and "should" have been surrounded by adoring catamites barely out of middle school. He was hiring 50-year-old white guys, and fired whoever told him no, because getting told no made his dick limp.

• Rob McCallum (ex-consultant) is old, white, and male
• David Lochridge (whistleblower) is old, white, and male
• David Concannon (legal and operational advisor) is old, white, and male
• PH Nargeolet (probably-dead pilot) was old, white, and male
• Hamish Harding (probably-dead passenger) was old, white, and male
• Shahraza Dawood (probably-dead passenger) was old, high-caste (2nd richest man in Pakistan after his own father), male, Br*tish subject, and a personal friend of Chuck #3
• Rory Golden (boat crewmember) is old, white, and male
• Scott Griffith (pilot) is old, white, and male
• David Pogue (j*urno ex-passenger) is old, white, and male
• Mike Reiss ((((tv writer))), ex-passenger) is old, (((white))), and male
• Steve Ross (ex-passenger) is old, white, and male
• Alan Boyle (j*urno, ex-passenger) is old, white, and male
• Kevin Lisota (j*urno, ex-passenger) is old, white, and male
• ccccombo breaker Renata Rojas (ex-passenger) is old, spic, and female (banker)

The boat they hired is co-owned by canuck abbos. That's as far as the wokeness goes. No DEI consultants and other patronage network jobs, no blacks demanding a free spot as reparashunz. Wokeness is overpaying and underutilizing extremely unqualified employees to raid one's own company or for third-party gibs. Instead, they were wringing the fuck our of their employees and expected them to put out. This is just limp dick techbro greed.

But isn't magic scifi space-woo the type of shit that impresses Chimpman the most?

 

[Otterly]

Here's a deep-sea submersible seemingly done right.

Yeah Alvin is amazing. If you fancy a fun thing go look at some of their footage from over the years. Incredible stuff.

Tbh I think most people are going to be more disappointed if they're somehow recovered alive than if they died.

Nothing the media loves more than a race against time to save people. There’s probably screenwriters working in it now

Ouch. Now that is really good cartoon composition. Minimal words, a real punch. One of her better ones

Diversity strikes again:

I want the 50 year old ex military white males. Heck I’ll take 59 year old military engineering veterans with a proven track record of any race, but give me the guys who have been properly educated and have decades of experience of engineering

assuming this isn't a lie, they may be alive still

Horrific. Well, sending up a prayer or two, I hope they get them back up alive. Then I will look forward to the incident report

I've got an F310 and an Extreme 3D Pro that have held up surprisingly well. Their headsets on the other hand... hoo boy.

 

[Breadbassket]

The CEO of OceanGate is a greedy retard no matter what the outcome of the search is.

 

[glass_houses]

Then there's drowning, probably one of the most horrible ways to die (unlike stomach cancer).

Eh... I think it's a case by case thing. Some people who've almost drowned have said it was agonising and terrifying, others said that after the initial sense of panic, it was painless and very peaceful. My personal experience was the latter.

Apparently the stupid fucks who launched this deathtrap into the ocean fired an employee who raised serious concerns about its design flaws, then sued him.
It probably imploded and everyone's been dead since a few minutes after it happened.


Load bearing viewports.

Young engineers innovate and think outside the box. They're good to have around. But old engineers, as well as having literal decades of experience, have an extremely important trait: a sense of their own mortality. You want to build something new, that's great, but you need to keep some old engineers around to remind you that if you fuck up, people are going to die in new and interesting ways.

People keep talking about the game controller, and initially I thought that it was a joke or a PR stunt or an initial temporary controller until a custom built, sturdier, system redundant one was finished... but I was wrong. Jesus fuck, these people are too stupid to live.

What... what?

Giving your employees a wedding gift and a baby bonus is... bad? Something only a whyte racist would do and therefore evil?

Marxists and SJWs say the darndest things...

 

[TractorGirl]

You need the 50+ year old white guys, hasn’t this nigga seen Battleship?

 

[Sister Miriam Godwinson]

I bet there will be even more tours to gawk at the drowned billionaires now. You could say it's a self-perpetuating industry.

 

[Badungus Kabungus]

$250k to sink a bunch of billionaire douches to the bottom of the ocean? That's a good start, but let's talk bringing down the cost.

The racists did their job right but the nigger ceo had to change the design by putting in a porthole that wasn't rated for that depth.

theyre saying in news reports that "right now" on site they dont even have the ability to bring the sub back up IF they find where it is
the exact question was "where is the nearest asset that could bring up this sub?"
and the US Coast Guards response was "we have no idea"
