First shitpost to make it truly like reddit. Can I downvote myself?
Shame. People died... Crushed like a can of beans.
I'm getting a sinking feeling about this
I feel a lot of pressure around me
It is a pressing matter
Their increasing expectations were crushing the operator
i think i'm going to implode
At least they have sandwiches.
Not truly the Reddit experience until top comment chain just full of puns.
I have news for you...
It is here too
Further proof that we really do love our billionaires.... deep down. 😂
What do you call four billionaires at the bottom of the ocean?
A good start
I don't know. I get the sentiment against anyone who hoards wealth and/or earns it off of the suffering/exploitation of others. Thing is, in the aviation world, my job is to stop shit engineering like that from ever being allowed to carry passengers. I've recently learned my analog doesn't exist in the nautical world. I'm also aware that among those passengers was a 19 year old kid and a Titanic researched. The CEO was made aware of the vessel's shortcomings and was convinced he knew better. In the end, he dies from his own hubris and takes four people with him.
Also, that 19 year old didn't quite want to go there, he just wanted his dad to be happy.
Azmeh Dawood — the older sister of Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood — told NBC News that her nephew, Suleman, informed a relative that he "wasn't very up for it" and felt "terrified" about the trip to explore the wreckage of the Titanic.
But the 19-year-old ended up going aboard OceanGate's 22-foot submersible because the trip fell over Father's Day weekend and he was eager to please his dad, who was passionate about the lore of the Titanic, according to Azmeh.
Maybe if some brainrotted idiots stopped screeching "b-b-b-but I don't want no nANnY stATe" they might recognise why regulations are important, and why they're said to be written in blood.
It makes for a good case study looking forward, which hopefully will save lives from people attempting the same thing. Additionally, you already know folks in the aviation world wrote the pilot checklists in blood. It's an unfortunate fact that souls have to be lost before a regulation or rule gets put into place to prevent it from happening in that exact way again, but this is part of why flying is so safe these days!
You don't even have to go back very far. Look at the 737 Max. Boeing fudged the training requirements and allowed purchasers to cheap out on the safety gear and killed 346 people.
A friend of mine, who's much more knowledgeable in these regulatory issues, filled me in somewhat. I guess, to make it work, it will require a high level of international cooperation. Frustrating because I've been in meetings with CEOs like that, but I've had the delegated authority to enforce proper design practices. All anyone could do with him was plead with him to see reason before he gets someone killed.
The kid is the only person in that situation I felt any pity for.

Holy shit
Don't know if it's worth anything on Lemmy, but I gave you a boost in return for the chuckle
What is the reason to have up/downvotes AND boost?
On kbin it counts as two upvotes to the reputation points and it shows the posts you boosted on your profile. Dunno about Lemmy.
Ah ok with your explanation it definitely makes sense!
He couldn't handle the pressure /s
