Titanic tourist submersible goes missing with search under way

According to some of the last contacts it was descending too fast and they were trying to drop ballast to slow down.
If they hit the ocean floor too hard, the sudden impact, combined with the weakened carbon fiber that was only designed for one trip according to the manufacturer and had been subjected to multiple compression cycles, it likely ruptured the hull on impact.
Thats if thats what happened of course.

I've had to manually install drivers for different f710s on windows 7, 8 and 10, plus the aforementioned reg key issue happened once, also the bluetooth usb dongle f710 comes with failed on 3 different controllers, over time it loses signal unless you're holding the controller right next to it and even then if the angle is wrong or something the controller freezes on last input for approximately 2 seconds. Probably shit soldering, there was an earlier bigger version of that usb thingie that didn't have such an issue.
Oh right, also I forgot that they've used shitty resistors for the shoulder buttons - they're open on one side and dust builds up on them over time causing the controller to randomly press shoulder buttons.
I beat dark souls on f710 and it was so awful that I'll never touch a logitech product again.

I'm curious why you are still fucking around with that relic. Are you in Iran or NK or some other embargoed nation?

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.

I doubt that for multiple reasons:

1: there's easier ways to fake your death.

2: if you're going to fake your death you want to be as quiet as possible about it for obvious reasons.

3: if they did it for the insurance money they signed waivers and I'm sure the insurance companies would refuse to pay up or at least severely reduce the payout.

Logitech f710 has no driver for windows 7 and up, you have to use the xbox360 driver instead, which wouldn't be an issue if it detected properly, on some win10 versions it gets the wrong registry key assigned to it and windows won't let you pair the correct driver before you go to regedit and fix it.
It would be funny if that was what ended up killing them in the end

It's also got quite the infamy for drifting as it's a rickety piece of shit.

Imagine you're navigating down a trench and the stick drifts to the left, making you hit a sharp rock.

"Oops" you hear the CEO say, a second before the entire carbon fiber hull delaminates and the ensuing implosion turns everyone on board into chunky salsa.

I used to own a f710 and it was janky as fuck. Terrible drivers and would malfunction constantly. Including locking itself in certain directions thanks to no proper windows 10/11 driver.

It's a legit possibility it's the cause of the fuck up that killed them.

These motherfuckers were billionaires, like why would you cut corners on controls? Would they have not paid $250k + 1 dollar?

Matt Walsh is correct refusing to celebrate accidents and loss of life.
I know many of you niggers are complete nihilists, but that should be something you are ashamed of, regardless of your own issues maybe being also very serious and frustrating you to the point of nihilism enjoying.
There are MANY things to mock, like fags and trannies and mass looting gangstanegroes. But beyond the mocking, you should always hold actual positions on issues, you know, like "when the looting starts the shooting starts".
That being said, sometimes people do be retarded and not taking necessary precautions for such dangerous explorations.

I definitely find the people celebrating these peoples deaths fucked up, 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. But I do feel like that humor can be found in the most morbid situation, especially a cautionary tale like this situation.

A retard, earning a million dollars a trip, used off the shelf electronics and refused to take input from industry leaders on the construction of his submarine. The CEO deserved his fate and it's only unfortunate that he wasn't imploded into paste on a test run. As for the other four passengers, they did not deserve to die in such a horrible way. But thinking that your money gives you impunity to take a day trip to the bottom of the ocean is pretty fucking stupid.

I am both capable of feeling real empathy for the passengers but still laugh at the jokes.

It was obvious from day 1 those on board that death trap were done for, the rescue effort was a formality a pointless waste of time and money.

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.

Will there be a dumb romantic film made about the submarine in 85 years from now?
Click to expand...
Nah. We'll get a romantic film about the nigger floyd riots with 2 completely irrelevant characters first and it will completely postpone this story because we live in a world where James Cameron would be executed if he gave out the revelation in his 3 hour long movie like how Stanley Kubrick tried to do with the Rothschild Family in Eyes Wide Shut.

Also to mention Dona Paz which had a death toll 3x that of the "Titanic".
