I don't think rich people are necessarily great, but I also don't think they deserve to die from what was a lapse of judgment.
I hope if I go because of a mistake I wouldn't have people dunking on my grave.

Wow, late to the news, just saw that they found the debris, amazingly lucky for the families. They have closure at least.

He's a slimy spineless little bitch.Jason is just a little bitch boy with no spine, last time he posted a "joke" he had people jumping on him and he backed down immediately and deleted it. It will be no different this time. He's a bell end who won't stand by what he says. Bloomberg should just sack him
This is the last one I can remember
Edit - Just as I said above, deleted. So here it is for prosperity.

Actually, CO poisoning is FAR from painless. A guy recorded himself using his car exhaust in the garage and it took over 20 minutes for his retching, gasping, choking sounds to stop. Maybe he was unconscious for some of that time, but it was hardly "going into a coma". Now O2 deprivation is like that (assuming there isn't a CO2 spike to trigger the breathing reflex) which is why places with nitrogen or other O2 displacement gas fire suppression systems have to have "LOW OXYGEN" alarms because otherwise folks will just pass out with little warning.

Carbon monoxide is not the same as carbon dioxide, which is probably what the poster you quoted meant. And exhaust fumes also contain far more than just carbon monoxide. Unless these guys brought a burner on board, they didn't die from carbon monoxide.

Think that is because of all the other shit in car exhaust. People who have almost died from pure CO poisoning from a faulty heater have described people basically just becoming sleepy and lightheaded. CO poisoning is just the blood being unable to carry oxygen so very similar to O2 deprivation.

They are actually defending him. I hope that post and the staff reaction to that post causes another Exodus within their mentally ill ranks.
Locking a fucking thread to defend this fucking double standard prick. I swear, I'd feel actual anger, if I didn't already know that nature is already having it's way with him.
I just read IMPLOSION. My, God...

Probably didn't even have time to feel any pain, it would have been all over really quick. Another expert on BBC weighed in that it would have been a really powerful implosion.
So far 5 pieces of debris have been found. It would be fucked up ff the sub hit the Titanic and is now resting inside the ship but really they should stop these tourists vists to the wreck. It's a graveyard.

Visiting the site of a tragedy where 1500 people died a horrible death for entertainment is tasteless to begin with. It's not a tourist attraction for rich folks to feel like they're part of a special and exclusive club.

Wife of missing submersible pilot is a descendant from Titanic couple who perished
Wife of submersible pilot descendant of Titanic couple | CNN
Wendy Rush, the wife of the pilot killed in a Titanic-bound submersible that coast guard officials say suffered catastrophic implosion, is the descendant of a couple who perished on the ship in 1912.
edition.cnn.com
Wendy Rush, the wife of the executive who piloted the submersible that has been the subject of a desperate search after it went missing during a dive to the Titanic wreckage, has a personal connection to the ship.
Rush is the is the great-great granddaughter of retailing magnate Isidor Straus and his wife, Ida, who were part of the group of more than 1500 people who died during the Titanic’s maiden voyage, according to New York Times archive records.

According to the press briefing, the Coast Guard stated that the wreckage was found about 1600 feet away from the Titanic itself.

I don't think there's anything to be learnt.
Shoddy vehicle, with engineers who worked on it leaving and speaking out due to concerns, and one of the founders trying to skirt regulations? It was just a matter of when, not if.
Many laws and regulations are there because someone did something stupid and/or nefarious.
Could be true. Certainly would fit the "they all died in bed" story we get from shoddy constructed homes or folks using gas gennies indoors for power.
At any rate, I doubt CO was an issue in the sub. I'm curious how they handled their atmosphere. Portable CO2 scrubbers and a tank of pure O2? Was the sub over-pressured by the end (by the design) or was everyone breathing through closed circuit hoses?

If you offered me a free trip on a safe, well built submarine to go look at the wreck of the titanic I would turn it down out of sheer disinterest.

I think future passengers will look way way more into the companies that offer these rides, and the tech of the subs. I hope future potential passengers who get told that the sub in question is made out of carbon fiber will turn on their heels and run away. Safety standards will go up, just as they do when a plane crashes and lessons are learned. And there should be laws forcing the sub operators to have comprehensive insurance, and that the insurance will only insure type approved vessels.
Also, the rescue efforts for this accident must have cost tens of millions of Dollars already, and I wonder if taxpayers from all the participating countries will be paying for this?

It really depends on levels but much of the time it has flu like symptoms. For those that didn't know human air hunger works off of CO2 levels so if those rose you'd feel like you were suffocating. As was also mentioned if the air was just low on O2 you'd just pass out, like what happened before a shuttle launch.

There was also some wokeness at play when he didn't want to hire a 50 year old white guy with military expertise since that wouldn't be inspirational.
Stockton Rush said he didn't hire '50-year-old white guys'
Stockton Rush, 61, the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions once said he refused to hire '50-year-old white guys' because they are not 'inspirational.'

Well, it sounds like the 5 laws of stupid. (That I posted before) I would like to add a 6th law, "Many people are stupid in the regards that they lack the ability to detect if someone else is stupid."

That wokeness is just a cover to not pay for experience (i.e. cheap labor that wouldn't talk back to him when he asked for bullshit corner cutting)

I've seen a lot of memes about this and one that stuck out to me was the man responsible for the whole operation saying he didn't want to hire "boring 50 year old white males" for the project.
And apparently this is a quote he really said in an interview. Now, i don't know if what he said has anything to do with the end result but if it does, the "get woke, go broke" line gets a whole new meaning.
Edit: Just got beaten.

Wow, so they likely detected something was wrong with the hull and tried to issue an emergency, probably realizing right there and then that it was too late and they were done for. I can't imagine the panic & stress they went through in their last moments.

That's possible, but I think the way carbon fiber fails is different than metal, so instead of slowly deforming, the whole thing implodes in an instant. I think that the vessel probably imploded before the sensors had time to detect anything was wrong.
Edit: Or perhaps more likely, the vessel imploded so quickly that even if the sensor alarms did go off, the passengers were dead before their brains have time to process that event.
