The search for the missing OceanGate Titan submarine, which disappeared Sunday during a dive to the wreckage of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean, is now in its fourth day. The Coast Guard estimated Tuesday afternoon that there were about 40 to 41 hours of oxygen remaining on the vessel, which is carrying five people.
He didn’t want 50 year old white guys... just 20-something white girls and surfers.
They’re “inspiring.” White guys with lots of submarine experience aren’t “inspiring.”
I’m not making this up.
Photo op canceled.
I wonder, if at the time when they were making this carbon fiber and titanium contraption they gave it some thought that at the depth they were planning to deploy this “Sub” the pressure on the hull would be pretty equivalent to approximately thirty-five (35) elephants piling on top of it. if it had been HY-100 special steel and about 2 inches thick I would have said maybe, still I would not have gotten into it. But I guess hey found out, perhaps a lesson for anyone else who may try a similar adventure.
This arrogant SOB has received his richly deserved Darwin award.
Translation: no 50-year-old white guy would set foot in his death trap.
This guy makes Lawnchair Larry look like competent.
Problem is he didn’t die, someone else did.
If he “gets the Darwin award” it’s stolen valor.
He was on the sub. Yep he is dead through hubris
Sure he’s trapped in a coffin filled with human waste, but at least he’s woke.
Missed that.
Sorry.
Dummasses.
I shave a 50’s plus old white guy every morning and qualified in submarines on a USN nuclear boat in 1973. He was right I’m not inspirational, can’t surf, or dance. But I can damn well run an engine room on a 640 class boomer. I also know how to surface the damn boat.
Diversity Kills!
Go woke, won’t float!
Seriously, the best outcome would be that they imploaded. It would be over instantly. If they sat there waiting to freeze to dead would have been horrible. Think of the dad looking at his son knowing he is going to die because old moneybags dad spent enough to buy two homes for homeless white 50 year old vets who could not find a job because of his skin color, age, or sex. You know, all those characteristics liberals claim should not matter.
It bothers me this guy didnt want to be bothered every 30 minutes with having to update the surface with progress reports.
It was also mentioned a 5 knot current would put them over 5 miles away PER HOUR! if they lost the ability to maneuver. and what about the auto release ballast that was supposed to drop after 24 hours?
Im not saying they are dead yet, but they're very dead.
He hired young people without decades of real world experience because he didn’t want to be hear, “No, that would be really dangerous and stupid.” What he wanted to hear was, “Yes, Sir, Mr. Wealthy Genius!”
Now many 50-year-old men are risking their lives searching for his corpse.
Yet, HE, himself was a “50 yr old white guy”….
Dead imbecile…
Nope, I think we can safely say that he did die.
