Tragic? What was tragic about it? It were just some insanely rich doing something insanely stupid: dive in an untested home made tube built from rejected discarded build materials to dive to insane depths to disrupt a protected monument of something which killed thousands.
There was also a famous ocean explorer on board they were using as a prop for their company. He’d done great work exploring shipwrecks previously and not a billionaire
And despite his knowledge and experience, chose to join the haphazard mission in pursuit of something he apparently valued more than the risks. So it sounds like he made a very clear choice and was dealt the expected hand from said choice.
The kid that was killed didn’t want to be there. He was terrified. He only went because rich daddy insisted & paid for him to come along. That’s tragic.
I never said that. I’m just annoyed that when a rich person dies, it’s world news and “a tragedy” while when a poor kid or a non-white kid dies no one gives a shit. A school shooting and too man doors are being blamed and it is written off as “collateral damage” to preserve the second amendment but when a rich guy is killed the murderer is being labeled a terrorist and the death penalty is being sought. Steal 3 times something small from the store and get 25 years but scam thousands of people including the government for millions/billions and get 2 months if any at all. Why would I care about a rich kid when the rich only care about themselves. Sure, it’s sad for the kid he got pushed into something completely stupid and dangerous and had to pay for it with his life. At the same time we as the west are still supporting genocide and other horrible war crimes, costing the lives of thousands of children while people protesting this are treated as terrorists and criminals. It’s just a matter of perspective. Most rich kids end up not paying taxes like their parents and getting richer at the cost of others. So when a rich kid dies, I’m not going to care more than when anyone else dies. Especially when it happens by something so dumb as the Titan “tragedy”.
Those rich people are demanding Trump to take away the health care from millions, so they can get a tax cut they don’t need, and won’t even notice. That kid would have been doing the same thing in 20 years, so I don’t feel bad for him or any of the rest of them. They paid a lot of money for an adventure that would give them bragging rights, and got a bigger adventure than they bargained for.

People outside the company knew it was haphazard?

Still a super rich kid who got everything he ever wanted, except for this instance.
TIL it’s okay for kids to die if they’re privileged.
I think we are just about there, so yes?

Go shock your dog hasan
Be better
He did according to his mom’s statement to BBC and he was 19.
I hate rich people too, but this is a reddit-tier comment.

I think maybe the point about the Kid is being missed.
Yeah super rich. Yeah didn’t want to be there.
But to change things you need people with resources on your side. The young are significantly easier to do this with.
If we demonstrate that we have empathy for all of the vulnerable (as we should) those young ones can see the power of empathy.
Nah the young people are laughing about this as much as anyone else.
“Then I stepped back and gave them space to set [Suleman] up, because he really wanted to go,” she said."
This is from the mom in a BBC article. And he was 19 not a kid.
In older articles they stated he did not want to go and they never gave his age. Were they early attempts at propagandizing sympathy for the rich?
Yeah, hating on the kid simply because his dad has money forces him into an us-vs-them situation. It does nothing to help.
Not to mention, it is exceedingly gross to cheer the death of someone just because their dad has money.
Yeah, no. Kids want to be cool and respected, making it clear billionaires are hated will do so much more to wake them up
And once a billionaire gives it all away to become just a normal person (with a few million in the bank as a safety net), we make them a hero
