This comment section is crazy. I understand that they were most likely rich assholes and as time has told, most rich people haven't contributed too much to the world except class separation and hoarding comfort to the loss of common people.
But people died because one asshole decided this was a good idea, lives were literally lost and everyone here is mentioning how fun that is and how great it is that human beings have died in a horrific way. Imagine the anxiety and hopelessness they've must've felt during their last moments and people seem to cherish that fact more than anything else.
It's disturbing to see people talk about deaths this way, no matter who that death concerns.
They probably didn't feel a goddamned thing. There was no hopelessness or dread. They just suddenly died, which is probably a decent way to go.
There was no anxiety or panic. They imploded faster than you can react. They literally never realized they were dying.
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.
Such is class war in the 21st century
