So incredibly sad.
Is it though? I feel the same way I do when I hear another base jumper, parkour influencer, or wing suit junkie died.
"Yep, makes sense."
There is a certain amount of empathy I want to have about the situation. Because at the end of the day, someone lost a loved one.
But there is also a bit of poetic justice when someone visits the wreck of a ship that played a large role in making sure ships were safer in case of catastrophic failure.
Only to ignore those procedures and end up right next to it.
Are you really looking to argue with someone about how they should feel?
I think it’s sad, but not as sad as when people die who weren’t daring the universe to do it.
One of the fuckers made fortune selling private jets, if anything this news is one of the few happy ones this year.
