Tour company OceanGate Expeditions said it believes the five passengers on board the missing Titanic-bound submersible have died. Follow here for live updates.
I read the company skipped a load of safety and redundancy checks. Thats crazy…if it’s true. Cutting corners to save a few bucks .
I’m not surprised due the greed that exists in the world but this should require the same level of regulation as a plane or a rocket . Not some metal cylinder with a $30 controller duck taped inside it.
Sure, it’s sad for the families, but I find that my empathy is better off being spent elsewhere.
Even if some employee got caught in this CEO’s whims, that employee already sold his life away upon embarking on a sub made by a company whose head thinks “safety just is pure waste.”
What’s a waste is this CEO not surviving to regret his very words.
It’s actually astounding that this company seemingly gave zero fucks and was just allowed to go through with this. Like, I assume there was some permitting/process that needed to be obtained to go dive to the Titanic. I have to write overblown safety memos at work when just dealing with simple pressurized inert gas cylinders. How did this happen? Lol I wouldn’t even use a logitech wireless controller to game on my PC.

So, they made their
seabed and now lie on it?It’s hard to find empathy for those guys.
Hopefully the company goes out of business and there is someone held accountable but I won’t hold my breath. Its sad for the families all the same.
It will probably go out of business declaring bankruptcy, to avoid paying any indemnification or fines for the use of emergency resources.

Libertarianism happened, in conjunction with a few signed waivers.
