Titanic tourist submersible goes missing with search under way

[Blue Miaplacidus]

That's fucking horrible I can't imagine how bad of a death that must be. Fuck that sucks :{

I'd rather implode or pass out from lack of oxygen freezing at the bottom of the ocean than surfacing. That's the really shitty way to go, I mean they all are, but if the sub surfaced and it's floating unfound... they're trapped at the surface unable to exit. They're bolted in, from the outside. I couldn't imagine floating at the surface staring out that tiny porthole just hoping to see a helicopter or boat as you slowly die. At least at the bottom you know you're fucked and you can make peace with yourself and the situation.

About 15 mins ago from US Coast Guard twitter:

A debris field was discovered within the search area by an ROV near the Titanic. Experts within the unified command are evaluating the information.

Wait they didn't even have a radio or navigation on it? Just... sorry, what?

The Titanic was hungry and pissed off they got everyone off but the poorfags last time. It wanted some billionaires.

Haunted Titanic theory when?

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.

Based. All the money on earth isn't enough to pay off the Grim Reaper.

Those corners don't cut themselves friendo.

Well, normally you see this kind of fuck up and you're mourning a bunch of white men. But we wanna inspire the "youth".

Rest in piss

So this thing was worse than a WW1 era sub? And they tried to go deep down with it? There are three areas where cutting corners is really bad: space, air and deep sea. This is basically Trust the Science 101.

I hope when they recover this in a few years, the video stored on their fancy smart phones is still intact so we can watch them coping and seething at the bottom of the ocean and maybe murdering the idiot who built this thing.

That would sway my agnostic heart into joining a church (I'd have to find one not infested with faggotry)

The mental retard who built it literally just decided not to have one. Because retard.

It's like a very bad episode of 'Beadle's About'...

So much money...................... but so little braincells..............

What I learned from this whole ordeal is that Blink 182 is still around touring and making music.

Yeah, it's scary people out there still listen to that garbage.

Maintaining contact with the mothership was far too bothersome for him. Because he was a lolcow and they told him to do things, something lolcows really don't like.

This is basically Trust the Science 101.

good take, the only reason people trusted the science is because after an era of uninhibited technological development resulting in massive tragedies of people boiling alive and being processed through automated slaughterhouses, we regulated them.

now we're in the heckin trust the soyence realm where we just trust anything technological again.

What controller was it?

Oh, this reminds, me. There were a lot of left wing rags writing about how Starlink was involved and they were trying to figure out what role it played in the failure as the company depended on Starlink. All that Starlink was used for, was communication on the ship itself, not the sub.

I'm not some major Musk fan, but the opportunist journo scum annoys me more than he does.

What controller was it?

Wireless Logitech Xbox controller F710 with modified thumb sticks.

3D printed dilator thumbsticks, even

I think someone already posted this image in the thread but I thought it would be good to point out again how hilarious this looks.

Xchuds how do we recover from this?

BBC reporting an update from USCG at 1500 local time, 2000 GMT so like two and a half hours from now.
