If you are a billionaire or a grifter, sure. It kind of shows that society is pretty fed up with these people.

I think people are laughing more at the absurdity of the situation, how a group of people managed to ignore so many obvious red flags.

But yeah it is pretty morbid

I mean, it was a bunch of people with fuck you money getting into a tin can to go look at the watery grave of a bunch of people who also had fuck you money. It's just ironic in a fucked up sort of way

I haven't followed the story too closely, but if they did die/will die, then it's sad to hear.

it must have been frightening being trapped in a submarine like that and feeling like there was nothing you could do.

It's not so much laughing or victim blaming

It's really just a "Why the fuck are we having the government spend hundreds of thousands (if not millions) to rescue these people who put themselves in a stupidly dangerous situation for no real reason"

I feel sorry for the crew. They were probably stuck in a shitty job and scared to say anything about the danger in case they got fired like the other guy.

The billionaire and the CEO, I feel less sorry for.

No, but the fact that these people spending $250K to get themselves killed for a thrill ride is getting more attention than hundreds of people dying/gone missing just trying to find a way to make a halfway decent life is.

The internet and 'meme culture' makes it really easy to separate the reality of a situation from morbid fascination and comedic absurdity.

A lot of attempts at socioeconomic explanations etc just don't ring true to me. Sure, people may say "they're rich who cares" when someone presses them that their online posting behavior is immoral or exploitative. But that doesn't mean they began engaging in that behavior after a moral calculation. Rather, the internet encables a group complicity where you never need to consider the moral dimension in the first place. Appeals in defense of the behavior's morality are just ad hoc, and only exist because someone demanded justification.

Its a bit disheartening. The people in that submarine, if they havent already, will experience an extremely slow and agonizing death that most people would only experience in their worst nightmares.

Im no one to judge, but it isnt a situation I feel calls for callousness. Or least of all joy.

They probably died instantly the second the window gave out. There's a reason submarines don't have windows.

It's not just the fact that they're rich, if this was some freak accident I'd feel bad for them. They paid an exorbitant amount of money for something that came with a large risk of death. At least one of them has pushed all of the deregulation bullshit in the past. They got what they paid for

I personally struggle to find empathy when it comes to reckless billionaires doing dumb shit, but I know they had family and I do feel bad about that. There was so much that had to go wrong for this to be the outcome.
