if you don’t shut the fuck up for one time

It’s really surreal to me that now, as a whole, the internet will find something tragic like this and make jokes about it. Not saying it’s more or less sad because they decided to splurge and go on the excursion… not saying people can’t use humor as a coping mechanism… it’s just super surreal to me that in the 90 hours this has been happening, there’s been more memes, jokes, and “they deserved it”s than I’ve really ever seen for a tragedy like this. We are in such weird times. Idk if I am comfortable making fun of random people dying so horribly, or if the internet is actually dying these days and everyone wants to be in on the joke together , or what. Just needed to say It’s weird and it feels weird and I hope someone else sees things this way too

Urmmmm- honey I know you meant well but I don’t think there’s a silver lining here

That's very sad actually

i don't care if they were rich or whatever, it is still a tragedy and they did not deserve to go like that, i can't imagine how terrifying it was to be stuck there during their last moments, hopefully they can be at peace now, obviously it was their choice and conscious decision to embark on this, even knowing that it was dangerous, but i still don't feel like they deserved it or that it's funny

you are insane

I hope above anything that this will be a sign that some things need to be left alone. The titanic seems like a no brainer to me to be left alone (seems cursed) but also with ocean and space tourism in general. It’s unnecessary.

And the scary thing is, they may not even die in 12 hours because of no oxygen, they literally could have gone completely insane by now and murdered each other out of sheer overwhelming mental instability at the situation.

maam this is the charli xcx thread

Right sis, a boat filled with immigrants with FIVE HUNDRED people went missing and you barely hear a whisper about it. The media has spoken very loudly, and it’s saying only wealthy lives matter.

god, what an absolutely horrific way to pass. even if all of them were alive up until the very end (which i doubt quite highly, being in such a limited space in the dark could turn anyone to psychosis), just to think of the stench and vomit and excrement they’d be surrounded by while spiralling into an extreme anxiety and depression just makes me so sad.

Hard to feel sorry for billionaires tbh. Really fucked up situation but they put themselves in that situation, knowing that there would be a risk of death. I hope one of them has killed the others in their sleep in order to survive (I’m rooting for the billionaire’s kid)

if only they spent that ridiculous amount of money building a school in africa or something

It's so well said. Talking like an old person but dying is not a funny thing, and unless these people were terrorists or Hitler's enforcers, I don't think anyone on this planet rich or poor deserves to leave like this. The internet has made people insensitive, curious in the wrong way, and disrespectful. It's all good to be the winner of the contest of the one who will stand out the most. And it's not about to end with the number of leftovers exploding via these brainless applications.

It's really horrible... Even if they are all rich, I can't imagine what they are going through or have been through if they are still alive I'm claustrophobic and can't watch or listen to the countdown without getting anxious Really weird that a submarine with such safety issues can be launched That we find them as soon as possible even if the clock is ticking

Is it not most likely it imploded, I haven't read or seen much about it but I think they first said it lost contact with the other one that was with it and they could track where it was when it lost contact. Made it seem more like when a plane crashes and all the data just stops as everythings destroyed, rather than it just got lost. They've probably been dead from the start.

The conversation has been, rightfully so, concentrated on the aspect of wealth because of the sheer mobilization and coverage on them. Meanwhile, boats carrying hundreds of refugees in the Mediterranean sea have capsized within the same timeframe, with many people feared dead and missing, while coast guards of neighbouring countries ignore them and even outright reject carrying out rescue efforts. Humanitarian organizations are usually the ones out there doing rescue missions and yet, once they get to land they get arrested. There's a bleak contrast between how 24/7 news coverage and rescue efforts have been done for 5 people who, thanks to their privilegued status within our system, have spend a copious amount of money in a suicide vanity mission to see a ship wreckage where 1,500 people died hundreds of years ago, while within the same week, a boat carrying about 750 refugees and asylum seekers escaping war and famine capsized, with a death toll rising by the minute, has been practically overshadowed and not given the same importance in rescuing those people. There are regulations and standards in place for deep sea excursions/exploration, many professionals have been commenting on it and given their opinions/criticism based on their professional experience, the founder just decided to ignore them because, well, he was rich and decided to cut corners and ''innovate'', which sadly resulted in the fatalities. I don't think there's more to it, it's a clear warning to anybody else trying to do the same. The same attention and rescue efforts should be given to everybody in need.

At least it seems they died instantly and before their nervous system even figured out what was going on...

Apparently they’ve found some sort of debris

i'm sorry i just cannot sympathise with people who were aware that their lives were in the hands of a video game controller that cost $30. it is kinda funny. the only person i truly feel sorry for is the 19 year old, i can't even fathom how utterly stupid his dad was to bring him along. i do think some of the wilder jokes are a little tasteless, but i can't even bring myself to care when hundreds of migrants are left to die at sea every single day... i don't have the capacity to care about both either, some things are just more important than others

I mean generally I have a difficult time feeling sorry for rich people but in this case I do because what a horrible way to die I hope that some sort of new standards are put in place Idgaf if it's in international waters, it shouldn't just be "anything goes"

murder on the dancefloor appreciation post we were begging for this song forever and we did not appreciate it enough when it leaked MURDER ON THE DANCEFLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR! IF YOU KILL THE LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHTS!

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII went to Paris……..texas

not u again

Got my signed print today too!

I think they took Lana's new song Lost At Sea a little too seriously.

guys idk if y’all knew but in the heart to break mv she’s in a……castle in the sky

imagine all the other songs from problematique with professional mixing/mastering …

I just genuinely can't tell if it's a troll or delusion....

Okay, so US Coast Guard confirms that Titan imploded near wreckage of Titanic. So, actually in this situation the best possible scenario has happened. RIP.

I can't believe they are paying to spread this #freeskyferreira conspiracy theory nonsense

It would be a nicer world if we spent as much time, energy and government resources on real issues instead of a group of people who took an educated and obvious risk. Maybe the government should explain if people want to do these outrageous things, they won't bail them out like they do in Washington. Perhaps they'll think twice.

I hope so…beats a slow painful death over 96 hours

I also think you're tempting fate too much by calling your company OceanGate and calling your submersible Titan

they are definitely gonna make a movie about it in a few years. But tbh this is scary af I can't even imagine what they're going through right now as we speak...

surprised no one has done royals with charliAI...

The only person I feel sorry for is the 19 year old. His father failed him.

I believe Kesha.

Wheels up on the curbside, put it in SPEED DRIVE….

this whole case is so… weird? like has anyone put some thought into it before going? people need to stop messing with that cursed ship already

Well it's better than the alternative because they wouldn't have had time to register what was happening if it imploded Hopefully this is not permitted to happen again Never has there been a more appropriate company name than OceanGate This, for the film adaptation

I don’t agree with the person that said her voice was shoot. To my ears second Mita performance is her best show vocally in a hell lot of years and seems like she can actually show that when she calms herself just a bit.

Did you know the Missing Titanic Submarine was using A $30 Video Game Controller?

has the oxygen run out yet? this is tragic but im mostly upset that these people neglected their loved ones enough to take such a horrible risk for no real reason. especially the father that took his 19 year old son on board. its horrible.

I agree, its a terrible situation and the more I think about it, the worse it is I feel so bad for the 19 year old too, to die so young like that is just so sad Tragedies at sea happen so often, but I think its the thought/hope that they were still alive and suffering makes it worse. If there was confirmation that the sub was damaged and they died immediately, I don't think people would care so much about it either

Turns out the CEO's wife is his great great granddaughter Is it too soon to talk about curses?

I really don't think they're alive at this point. Even the 96 hours was a rough estimate... It's very sad, especially the 18 year old who had is life ahead of him. All gone due to a vanity trip to see the Titanic.

"Paul-Henri Nargolet, 77, is a French explorer and the director of underwater research at a company that owns the rights to the Titanic wreck." I was surprised that anyone could "own" the Titanic wreck but silly me, rich white men have to own everything, especially land and historic artefacts that they have no connection to
