For real it's like every day there was a new story about some other rediculous corner cutting this guy did.

Literally pressured into ash by his dad

That kid is the only one I feel sorry for on that sub.

I wish the kid that went against his better judgement didnt have to go, but if so he would've witnessed the entire internet sphere memeing the inevitable death of his presumably beloved father bcs he did go to make him happy on Father's day. Jumping into a 'sub' (read: death tube) that is controlled by a gaming controller and paying for it, I dont see any way shape or form that people wouldnt mock you for it.

Actually the mom commented that her son was exitced to get on the sub. Look in to it

They were never going to live, you don't live through a failure of the pressure cell at 400 atm.

@@Bob-nc5hz "how tf did they even live" assumed that the sub was still intact caus we didn't know yet

Not tragic, Darwinist.

@@bobbysworld281995 please be trolling please be trolling please be trolling

@@bobbysworld281995 whaaaat? you mean people shouldn't pay $250,000 and get into a submarine built with subpar recycled materials by a guy that essentially said "fuck safety" and even fired people that told him that his submarine isn't safe? such a hot take man.

those Thai cave also self inflicted. there is a warning sign regard of cave can be flooded, but somehow the kids and especially THE COACH ignored the warning when it was a rainy season.

@@littlelw319 Unless you're an asshole that is *not* self-inflicted. A sign that says cave "can" be flooded and a sudden rainstorm that dumps more water than is average for the area is not remotely the same scenario as a person making a submersible that is not tested to regulations, firing an employee who pointed out the danger in their craft, and still the owner went down anyway lying to the people he brought with him that the sub was tested and certified. 999 out of 1000 times the cave situation does not end in people being trapped. Literally nobody blamed the kids for what happened.

Yea a submersible casket

Millionaires were so narcissistic and felt so powerful because of their fortune that they really thought they could bend the laws of physics. Honestly, what a shit show this was. I just feel bad for the young man.

Nah they knew it was coming because the sub had an alarm if the sub started to fail. Problem is that carbon fiber fails fast so they only had a few seconds of warning. Just enough time to panic.

@@pax6833 please take note that I said it IMPLODED in a millisecond. They had plenty of notice that something was wrong beforehand. But the actual failure of the submarine and subsequent implosion happened faster than the brain could register. They likely were huddled for several minutes in fear before they just ceased existing in a fraction of a second.

​@@pax6833they used some sort of auditory warning system, where the carbon fiber would go and make little popping sounds if things went wrong. Shit system, but they knew.

@@pax6833 the alarm system would activate almost at the same time as the failure of the hull, it's akin to using a visual monitoring system to warn about lightning.

Yea

You mean around that sub?

Oceangate also knew that the sub imploded, their entire reaction was a facade to try and save face and shift blame in public perception

Well, it's not about wanting to reveal it, they didn't wanna say "oh they exploded" to them find out they in fact didn't and there was still a chance to save them. I mean, otherwise they wouldn't confirm it after the fact.

@@VValkyr the sound of a submarine implosion is one of the least subtle of the many thousands of sounds that the US navy listens for. (And likely has the mother of all AI deciphering for them) I very much doubt they weren’t certain of it instantly. Microphones thousands and thousands of miles away would pick it up clearly

The system that caught the explosion is called the SOSUS and has been operational for decades. It's a long cable that can detect waves moving through water. While it's technically not public, it's no secret either, and you can bet foreign nations know its location already. It you want to go full tinfoil hat conpiracionist, a more likely one would be that they wanted to practice in case they need to launch a recue operation like this for the military later on so stopping the search early wouldn'thave allowed for that. But honestly, an even more likely scenrio through all this that is not nearly as exciting: This is just how the Coast Guard operates. Even if an implosion was heard, the specifics of the vessel weren't known fullly. This was essentially a backyard project from the nutjob CEO, and he refused to submit the vessel design to the appropriate testing procedures. So maybe it was something else that caused the sound, maybe just one of their airtanks and not the actual main cabin. Even if the chances were now very low, the fact is, it wasn't 0. The Coast Guard is just known for going through incredible lengths to save lives. There are hundreds of videos of them recuing people in the worst conditons possible at sea.

@@gredystar8333 there is no rescue submarine on earth that operates at that depth and even if there was, it doesn’t have a universal docking port that would be needed to use it. The submarine is basically assembled around its occupants like an early 60s spacecraft. The deepest submarine-to-submarine rescue in history was at 1,600 feet. The seafloor around the titanic is at 12,500 feet. The moment they sank at that depth no rescue was possible, unless they were out of control floating on the surface. There also isn’t some kind of crane game rescue claw that could grab them from the sea floor

Lol illigal immigrants

100% nailed it

The unfortunate truth is that most media companies were fare more interested in the story because it was a unique and rare occurrence while migrant boats trying to cross a larger body of water and sinking in the process has been through the new cycles multiple times over years to the point where its no longer a major headline. Probably one another rather despicable thing about the whole affair though is that although it hadn't been fully confirmed by then, once the story had broken worldwide all of the passengers were almost certainly already dead and these media and news agency were likely aware of this. But chose to heavily play up the possibility that they might still be alive and could be saved in order to try and get people hooked on their coverage.

​@@KhanhNguyen-mh5ecAh, so that's why he ganked more people than the fucking Nazis. 💀

To be fair the greeks proposed to help them but they wanted to reach italy. And for the media coverage one words explains it : hype.

Oh that’s good haha.

So ur jealous of rich ppl gotcha

See, now that's a dark humor joke. All those twitter crybabies that say jokes like these are "too far" should stay off the internet.

@@bonixohd3424 it's a dumb joke. It's not even new or clever.

​@LoLo25k why are you so upset?

yep, people are getting sick and tired of struggling to survive while the rich get by easily and constantly rub the wealth imbalance in their faces with stupid expeditions like this

the media sells stories just as much as the movies do. The submarine story had a 'morality play' feeling to it that was very enticing.

Still doesn't justify the fact that people are so glad to hear that a group of rich dudes died on this incident.

Who cares about migrants drowning tho

@@maximeliusI care?

they're not "very rich", 250k per person is pretty damn cheap by the industry standard, the whole thing is cheap, which is why the submarine itself is also cheap and didn't have any regulatory bodies, they're well-off people who want to have "very rich" experience but you're probably right that they were unhinged.

@@aundying3606 Pretty sure they had regulations to follow, but fired the guy who told them they were breaking them. Also if someone can spend 250,000$ for a trip, that persons rich, that’s the price of a shitty house which most people still can’t afford.

@@aundying3606 two were billionaires

@@aundying3606 Dude they were literal millionaire and billionaire in there. Not some random silicon valley software engineer making like 300k-400k a year. Do they need to be trillionaire to be considered rich?

2 were billionaires, and that's about it, and that wasn't even the main point, they're not unhinged for "willingly paid 250k per person" they're unhinged because they were willing to enter the sub that "cheap"

The controller by itself was actually fine. The US military uses those for drone controllers as their recruits are already familiar with it and Sony/MS have already put a lot of effort already into its design. The bigger issue with it is that it's the wireless versions of those controllers, so any signal interference will cause the controls to drop, which isn't something you want to happen when you're several kilometers below the ocean surface

@@bclxprssreally now? How interesting

@@bclxprss it was a modified logitech F710, not a Sony or MS one. And there's a bit of a difference between controlling a drone (which is just hardware) and controlling the lives of several people.

@@bclxprssThis was actually my EXACT thought when I heard about the news. That and possibly that it was one controller that probably had to do multiple things that you couldn’t feasibly put on a controller (though I don’t know how complex a submarine console is so it could be more feasible… minus the wireless bit.)

These replies are actually very informing usually don’t see that

More well off is an understatement. Capitalism has fucked over too many people for them to care about billionaires with more money than common sense.

And don't forget envy. Envy easily turns into hatard

I mean, do we remember the time when people look down "influencers" because they made a lot of money? Still happen

​@@neociber24Influencers are cringe anyway

"Screw the rich" jokes aside it's honestly disturbing how most people online seem to celebrate those people dying only because they have more wealth than others. This isn't even mentioning that their voyage was foolish at best.

To be brutally honest, it's all about Return of Investment. Save a few ultra wealthy people, and they might just be obligated to do business with your country bringing along a lot of money. Immigrants on the other hand? At best, you get a few more low wage jobs filled in that nobody of your regular citizens want. At worst, you're increasing your crime rate while those same migrants leech on welfare checks that your legitimate disadvantaged citizens should have gotten and you can't deport them back because that would be racist.

Well, that, and migrant boats tend to lack: -Transponders -Radios -Trained Personnel -Emergency Procedures -Voyage Records -Emergency Equipment

part of it is probably the fact that the submarine was tied to a larger story; the Titanic, which gave it a certain grand irony that was missing from the migrant story. The news sells 'stories', remember?

Can confirm, the thai cave rescued kids were rich as fuck.

I mean we got it got no media coverage because it’s not interesting (to make it blatantly cold). Terrible things happen in the world ALL the time. Things like the submarine and the circumstances that happened with it are SUPER rare in comparison. It’s definitely a matter of what sparks the public’s interest. As shitty as it sounds, the lives of of some immigrants being smuggled on a boat that sunk because of the sheer amount of people in it is simply not as interesting as “billionaires die in PlayStation controlled submarine visiting the Titanic”. Like come on. You NEVER hear that. On the other hand illegal immigrants dying is not uncommon.

They’re comparing how morbid events are being treated like a trending movie online in the modern era not on how or why it happened. And yeah, kids getting trapped vs rich people doing stupid shit is different.

I would say its very likely that on some level a lot of the news producers knew that all of them were probably already dead, but deliberately chose to play up the very remote possibility that they might be alive to keep the news cycle going as long as possible and get as many views out of it as they could.

@@zaleost i mean yeah, lots of ppl knew they were already dead or that there was no chance of saving them, that only makes it worse though.

I believed the oxygen timer but that was cause i thought the sub was built by proper engineers meant for research(i also didnt know just how deep the titanic was) But once i knew it was made out of papier-mâché meant for billionaires i realized they probably didnt even get to see it

I mean it was just highly likely that the sound they heard was the titan imploding, but despite the right time, sound makes sense and everything, they couldn’t be 100% sure. Better to only release that info once the wreckage was found and everything confirmed.

It did work right until it didn't, though even when it did it kinda didn't: there were multiple dives in 2021 and 2022 but also a variety of technical malfunctions, some of which cancelled dives, one of which kept the passengers stuck at the bottom (and not even near the titanic) for 5 hours.

Absolutely. There's only one victim and he was murdered by his father and the CEO

based

literally, i only feel bad for the rich kids that were forced into it the teenage son did not deserve that

It did. That's the problem. It worked like 5 times but Carbon fiber takes small amounts of damage each time. So they got lulled into a false sense of security.

*Leftoids

Waaahhh, wahhhh, rich people bad waaaahhhh

@@kotorandcorvid4968more like rich people are stupid 😂 they dead now

Lost you at the god bit, thinking more along the line of reptiles

Its fairly simple. If it reaches Billions you are a problem in the system. MrBeast is not even close to Billions. The thing about one billion is that you need 1000 millions and most people in the world can't eve get close to that. Add the fact that if you this rich for some ""curious"" reason law seen to not fully apply to you. At one Billion you can only have this amount of money by exploiting someone else and then it also adds the dragon hoarding of this money too.

The reason people hate the rich isn’t because of the amount of money they have, but rather because that amount of wealth almost always requires exploitation to take place, having a successful business pretty much necessitates a blatant disregard for the life and humanity of workers (see the recent wga strike and the lenghts execs will go to before just paying even a bit more to the union writers). Mr beast is actually one of the few examples of a millionaire who managed to become incredibly rich without exploiting anyone, by just making money through sponsors/ad revenue he can just make money by helping others or giving it away, that’s cool but he’s very much the exception. It’s hard to feel empathy for people like jeff bezos who lives a perfectly comfortable life when there are amazon workers peeing in bottles in order to keep their jobs, especially when you know that one of those things is a direct result of the other.

kinda tells you how ready society is to eat the rich. people are fed up with the incredible amounts of exploitation.

I don't feel bad for anyone but the kid, but celebrating their deaths is gross.

@pax6833 then be fed up by people who exploited them. They don't even personally know the people who died there so why make their deaths an outlet for people's frustration?

No one celebrated their deaths. They were making fun of their stupidity and hubris. Also wanting to go see the Titanic which is a mass grave (of mostly poor people btw) for anything other than research purposes is an asshole thing to do.

​@@friendlyneighbourhooddegen4739Visiting the Titanic isn't any different from visiting Pompeii or Auschwitz

That’s not enough wealth to “wipe out world hunger”. You can’t outspend the concept of scarcity.

That is the most garbage take I have seen in this comment section.

that wouldn't really solve anything. anyway, an idea like that is boring. Violence should be televised.

You guys that say shit like this always ignore the cartoonish level of imperialism that would be required to every acomplish any of these things.

I laughed harder.

​@@nikidelvallethat's what your father said when he left you

@@kotorandcorvid4968 Nah what he was was way more pathetic.

Not everyone of them. There's a kid that was afraid but he wanted to do it for his father for father's day so at least have some compassion for that kid.
