They say that getting squeezed can release fealings of anxiety. Imagine how good it must feel getting crushed by titanic depth pressure.

There was no anxiety or panic.

Eeeh, gonna have to disagree with you there, buddy.

It didn't implode completely without warning while they were just cruising.

They knew they were in trouble for about a minute according to reports. I'd say being in any sort of trouble in a sub like that would make me anxious.

That being said I don't think people are really celebrating people having died (despite them having been rich assholes), but because this is a very clear and very felt example of how thing like these should be done by and for humanity as a whole instead of some uppity rich ppl who think they're above everyone else. Same thing with space exploration. Private enterprises won't really cut it. They can emulate things achieved by nations, but they can't pioneer shit, really.

That's a good point, I forget that they had some issues about a minute before the implosion. Still, I'd take that death over a whole pile of other options.
