    One of them literally just had his submersible implode because he was smarter than safety regulators.

      Is it a bit too soon to say “good riddance”

      Like it’s awful, people died, that does suck and it is a tragedy… but at the same token, consequences of your actions. If you’re dumb enough to get on an unregulated submersible controlled by an old, off brand Xbox controller and dive to more than double it’s rated depth… don’t be surprised when things go wrong and you die.

          I love that the internet’s take on the sub thing seems to have arrived at ‘jokes are fine but leave the controller out of it’. Very on brand, I must respect it.

        Also, everybody is talking and forming opinions on the topic, while it’s just really just a “why would I care” type of news? When hundreds of refugees drown on a sinking ship, it’s a sidenote in a daily news feed, so it’s annoying when the media then blows up this “news” about rich people nobody heard of before.
