Quote HistoryQuoted: I've definitely noticed that phenomena here in the other thread. Everyone there is smarter and a better engineer and a just plain better person than that guy was. I'm pretty sure by the end of the day they will find out he was literally Satan, dragging his unknowing and helpless passengers down to hell  He was a scumbag of immeasurable proportions killing others like that by his actions. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A composite carbon fiber deep submersible is kinda new territory, besides interval inspections and pressure testing what would’ve told them this would fail and at what moment? Could active lifespan of the polymers even be gauged? Not by 20 year old recent engineering grads, apparently. |

Just collecting the empirical data necessary to develop the material allowables would probably cost more than their entire operation. Then there’s the full scale testing that should have been done. You don’t bring one specimen up to limit load once and call it good. Sadly none of them probably knew any better. I’m not convinced he was a greedy bastard, maybe just ignorant and inexperienced. |

I think it's pretty well-known that the water is turbid and murky around the wreck, so you can't see shit until you get close to it and then only a small section of it at a time. Juice not worth the squeeze IMO.

While there's some aspects of the CEO that can be mocked, the loss of life doing a risky activity isn't one of them. The thing I find sad is the 3 other paying customers were duped by someone that obviously cut corners and increased risks greatly. The one son that was on the trip, I feel for him the most as he had his entire life ahead of him and he was let down by his father's lack of due diligence. If the one cinematographer had the sense to backup, someone that could afford half a mil should've had someone investigate it.
There's always going to be second guessing into any risky endeavor but likely this clown show pushed back deepsea exploration quite a ways as financial backers will be apprehensive. At least their demise was rapid and likely painless. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: "Like a digital Tower of Babel, social media is evolving into an increasingly ugly and chaotic space a real-time repository for our worst impulses, uninspired musings, scatalogical humor and ill-formed thoughts that should be kept to ourselves," Los Angeles Times staff writer Jessica Gelt noted. It is an online Mall of America: vast, vacuous, relentlessly commercial and soul-sucking. And in a time of immense crisis political, ecological, social it has become a garbage dump of vile commentary publicly aired because that's just what we do now."  This ain't even close to a new phenomenon. Absolutely. But why does the internet bring out the worst in people? Anonymity I suppose.

I never feel sorry for people who:

They are not bold, they are entitled and do things to put them in harms way w/o understanding the risks. |

Just a casual observation but those that seem to gleefully take part of it at any chance that they can get, are either living in a high stressful job and need a way to vent out to feel better about themselves or are living shitty lives and need an escape to mock at the unfortune of others. Sometimes we get to see those shitty or stressful lives being lived because they're going to inevitably post about on here or in team asking for privacy but have no issues with the public seeing them mocking dead people here in GD.
Hopefully no one will come in here telling me I am wrong, that happens to also be one of the above so I can remind them that they are incorrect and then remind them of the threads they've made posting their woes  Then there are actual communists who like the ACAB'er twits, will say the eat the rich edge lord because they are inhuman POS's and should be fed to something in minecraft, of course. However I agree that being deliberately stupid should be mocked but at those who really didn't know any better or not even their fault, is where I draw the line. |
