    Yeah, still pretty violent, but painless so yeah, better than suffering. But, at least the other way they might have had a chance.

    I can’t get over how angry this makes me feel. Because this won’t change anything. Billionaires, the entire billionaire class, is just… untethered from compassion, and they’re rewarded for it so obscenely, and when they do this shit it won’t change anything because the whole thing about being that fucking rich is that you start thinking “it won’t happen to me I’m special” like what the actual fuck? And we’re toiling under these people forever? We as the entirety of the human endeavor are just propping up these zero-empathy boneheads who think they’re gods?! Im fucking livid.

    So, what were the sounds they heard...the banging?

    Is it possible they got stuck on the bottom, were banging for help, and after some time, it imploded? It seems like if it was going to implode it would have as soon as they reached the given depth passed the windows maximum pressure.

    I saw an article that said when a Navy sub went down years ago, they thought they heard banging and and it ended up that they think it was just geologic or something else.

    So, takaways from this video...
    -The experts who have examined the wreckage do not believe the window is what failed. It was the carbon fiber hull.
    -They believe the crew knew that the hull was failing, had dropped their weights and were on the ascent before it failed.

    It would be my worst nightmare to realize right before I died that I got my kid killed as well. I can't think of a worse thing to go through your head right before you die.

    First, it was "woke"

    Now it's Biden's fault.

    He probably didn’t even have time to realize.

    As a parent I am so fucking livid at this. I have no words, barely any coherent thoughts. Just white hot rage at this. How could anyone not see?!

    Especially after another guy pulled out of this trip due to the lack of safety precautions...

    I don't think the passengers were aware of the window not being right. But, yeah, it's a macgyvered sub.

    Actually he probably did. They said that they realized that the ship was failing and tried to blow their ballast. They were actively trying to surface the sub. James Cameron said that the ship was probably delaminating. They would have had plenty of time to realize their fate.
