All I can think about is the resources and time wasted recovering the puddles of these rich bozos from a submersible they signed a waiver to board, a waiver which noted it was an untested, experimental vehicle

A vehicle which was piloted with a fucking logitech controller of a model I owned that was absolute dogshit, but I bought because I was cheap and poor

[-] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 40 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The Logitech control pad, cheap and shitty as it was compared to something better or even purpose-built, was probably the least problematic issue with that sub.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 44 points 2 months ago

It was more what it represented

If they couldn't even spring for a decent usb controller you could get in a Best Buy in 2015, what else were they not spending on

[-] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah, that's a very good point.

[-] moss_icon@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago

The son was basically still a kid, he’s the only one I really feel bad for.

The old man apparently knew that the submersible was made of crap and extremely dangerous. The fact he didn’t think to maybe warn the others makes it hard to feel any kind of sympathy for him.

[-] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

I may be going off an op-ed piece, but I heard that the kid didn't want to be on that sub and his dad pretty much pushed him into going.

[-] moss_icon@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

This ended up being debunked iirc

[-] Aradino@hexbear.net 74 points 2 months ago

I'm surprised they even recovered slush tbh

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 60 points 2 months ago

Do not DNA test the slush

[-] Aradino@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago

It seems like they did to identify what they handed back and also had a couple buckets of them(plural)

[-] Goblinmancer@hexbear.net 37 points 2 months ago

Take some random sea slurp and claim it was rich people corpse #beastmodescam

[-] Wolfman86@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Like anyone would know the difference....

[-] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

No, he didn't die, and I've got the bucket of slop to prove it

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

She said “there wasn’t much they could find” of her family’s remains, which were recovered from the seabed and separated and DNA-tested by the US Coast Guard.

They have a big pile they can’t separate, all mixed DNA, and they asked if I wanted some of that, too.

[-] uSSRI@hexbear.net 54 points 2 months ago

Finish your pile of identified rich guy slush, then you can have little a mixed DNA slush

[-] EveningCicada@hexbear.net 53 points 2 months ago

What are they even gonna do with the forbidden slurpee? Just leave them be at the bottom of the sea.

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 44 points 2 months ago

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 51 points 2 months ago

I think the men goo should be returned to the sea.

“My first thought was, thank God,” Dawood told the newspaper. “When they said catastrophic, I knew Shahzada and Suleman didn’t even know about it. One moment they were there and the next they weren’t. Knowing they didn’t suffer has been so important. They’re gone, but the way they went does somehow make it easier.”

Uhh... No. There's been reports that they have audio recording of them realizing what was happening and were in a blind panic. They scrubbed said report from the main media outlets though.

[-] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago

Yeah it cannot be easy to spend your last moments knowing that your hubris is about to turn you into a soup like homogenate.

[-] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

Tigger: There's no difference between falling a thousand feet to the jagged rocks below and tumbling out of bed.

Piglet: Oh. Really?

Tigger: Sure. Except for the splat at the end they're practically similar.

[-] BearerOfPickles@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

Really? I hadn't heard that at all.

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I saw it here I think, so it could just be wish casting but I recall it was a legit source.

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

I wanna know more, I wanna know what they were saying

"What do you mean my millions of dollars can't do anything to prevent this imminent implosion? how dare you I'll see you in cou-"

[-] into_highest_invite@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 months ago

i don't believe this. i'm not an expert but the explanation i heard of the physics involved was that between the pressure the vessel was under and the failure mode of the carbon fiber hull, any noticeable crack would lead to the immediate smoothiefication of any part of the occupants that wasn't incinerated first. ig anything's possible but unless that recording comes up i'm inclined to believe they had no more information about the safety of that bullshit than when they got on.

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Fair, and that thought did occur to me in the back of my min. It's probably the correct analysis that it's wish casting.

[-] into_highest_invite@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 months ago

i mean, don't get me wrong. listening to stockton rush talk for 10 minutes in that coke can would have me breathing heavy too. there's certainly the possibility he accidentally let slip how the vessel had been progressively cracking apart. it's just it's a weird thing to cover up.

Should have given her a couple of WHFB skeleton warrior minis, would be more respectful

Ms Dawood was meant to be on the trip herself, but gave her ticket to her son.

When life gives you slush, you make slushies.

[-] LeonTreatsky@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They probably used a submersible with a standard suction specimen capture rig to slurp up some implosion soup that pooled on the seabed, and gave her two portions of the soup.
