@RadicalGraffiti the only one I have empathy is for the kid who did not want to go. :(
@marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti That was a lie told by his aunt. His own mother said that not only was he excited about it, he bought a rubix cube and contacted Guinness to try and set a world record while he was down there.
@jhooper @marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti If that's how terrible you have to be to die, in your eyes, then everyone's dead, including you. It's a fucking low bar. "He was excited." Jesus, listen to yourself.

@Dss @marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti Being excited to pay $250,000 to jump into a submersible built by someone that purposely knows nothing about submersibles, whom advertises his services as "Safety is a waste", just so he could visit an underwater graveyard and play with a rubix cube on the way.

He had to sign a waiver to indicate he understood the risks and that no safety was guaranteed. The CEO sells it on not being certified or rated in any way. There was no need for him to go, it was to gawk at a wreck. The only reason people singled him out for sympathy AT ALL was that they were told he was forced to go against his will, and that was a damn lie.

@jhooper @Dss @RadicalGraffiti holy fuck that was a lie πŸ’€ show me the evidence πŸ’€
