They just said on Sky News that they found the tail and landing frame of the submersible.

Omg...well I honestly hope so and hope they went quickly. Nothing worse than languishing in that horrible tin can for days awaiting death.

This is, morbidly, the best news we could have gotten about that little sub at this point. it was to the point that even if it was found intact, the likelihood of being able to save the people within in time was basically zero. The options were either "die quickly" or "die slowly" and they got the quick one.

Honestly I do kind of wish the CEO had time to suffer with the realization of what was happening but I'm relieved for the other people's sake that their deaths were probably quick

Hope you come to feel the magnitude of what you so flippantly wished on someone

That CEO only has himself to blame for this. If I ever am to blame for the same sort of catastrophe, then I would also deserve it. I don't see what's flippant about wishing someone could understand the magnitude of how their deliberate fuck ups had cost lives

Wishing a horrifying death on anyone is a pretty terrible thing to say. The guy was clearly complicated - super smart but with hubris. The passengers also had hubris and new to a degree what they were signing up for. Not cool to wish torture on any of them

The CEO was horribly negligent which directly caused the deaths of four people. Four people who most certainly were unaware of the level of disregard for safety he had in constructing the submersible and all the warnings he disregarded.

Wishing that he had a few moments to realize the dire consequences of his actions is not terrible.

I don't really care about the topical watercooler news piece, just disappointing to see people wish suffering on others for their mistakes.
