    I would hope they're either in pitch black and it hasn't imploded and they basically just fall asleep....or it imploded and they died instantly without suffering.

    Maybe it's like my PS4 controllers, and I have to re-sync it...but I'm using the wrong cord.

    'Debris field' discovered in search for Titanic sub contains its 'rear cover and landing frame' which indicates 'catastrophic implosion', say experts
    • US Coast Guard will host a press conference at 3pm EST to discuss the 'findings' of the ROV sub
    • World had been praying for a miracle after oxygen on board 21ft vessel 'ran out' at 7.08am EST (12.08pm UK)
    • Five men were locked inside the Titan on Sunday when it submerged to view the famous shipwreck
    • Their families are irate that it took the Titan's mothership eight hours to report it missing to the Coast Guard

    I think its kinda sick and fucked up how many people are making fun of this whole thing(Not on here mainly social media). Who cares that they are super rich and that is how they got to go on this thing?Still have families and are human beings. Hope they find them, but doesn't seem promising.

    Okay...

    And then there is this...
    Seems like maybe the CEO's distrust of expertise, education, and no respect for certifications are what doomed this group. Which party has been attacking expertise, education, certifications, and institutions? Oh, that's right... Republicans

    It looks like the implosion would have killed them in 30 milliseconds or less, which is effectively before they even knew what was happening, completely instant. I’m glad for this; human suffering is awful.

    But seriously, also fuck billionaires. The goddamn hubris of mocking safety regulations before getting crushed in a hubris machine while looking for the wreckage of The Hubris Machine. I hope the other billionaires privatizing our entire existence take note.

    Devastating. Likely, the port window couldn't hold against the pressure. My thoughts are with their families. May they rest in peace.

    Is it sad that they died? Yes. As sad as all the refugees that have been lost at sea the last couple years? No.

    The port window that was rated for 1/3 the depth of their final destination? That port window? I’m just so angry about this because even though I hate billionaires they just needed to listen to one person once to avoid this. It’s like banging your head against a wall knowing these people who don’t think the rules apply to them (including the rules of fucking physics) are in control of all of our lives to an ever increasing degree.

    I guess the one silver lining is that they most likely died instantly. I'd probably prefer that over slowly dying from lack of oxygen.
