We get it. They died. It's tragic but this coverage is unnecessary and gratuitous.
It's probably sad for the people who are connected, but it's not really all that tragic. Some people died doing something extremely risky.
Right?! There's innumerable dead adrenaline junkies maimed and killed all the time doing something that has a high mortality rate, by design!
Everyone's just on pins and needles about this particular one because he's among the global oppressor class.
But just like so many self-serving cultural views our oligarchs have pushed on us, a peasant with a death wish is crazy, a wealthy person with a death wish is eccentric.
I think it's the presumption of godhood that so many of these alarmingly wealthy individuals have that makes stories like these so morbidly fascinating.
I can feel badly for them, each in their own way... but some small black-hearted part of me is just happy that for once, the asshole making the poor decisions suffered for them.
