i hope oceangate gets sued to hell for violating basic safety principles in pursuit of profit, i hope a teenager doesn’t die a horrible death, and i hope the world pays much more attention to the fact that 500 migrants died that same horrible death last week in a completely preventable sinking that was engineered by bureaucratic racism and cruelty. where were their millions of dollars and manpower hours in rescue efforts?
Yup, and sadly, we now know that everyone onboard the vessel is dead, and the only small mercy is that they likely died instantaneously. Meanwhile, the Oceangate is talking about what true explorerers they were and what a loss it is to the explorer community. No, you guys are not explorers, you are fools with too much money playing Indiana Jones. I take no joy in their deaths and I feel for their families, but they, with the exception of the teenager, were victims of their own hubris and brought it on themselves.
Finally, I cannot be credited with this observation, but they were going on some touristy trip to the mass grave of a bunch of poor people who had no lifeboats. Billions of dollars have been spent trying to recover them, while refugees were shipwrecked off the coast of Greece, with scarcely an iota of all those resources going to help them.
