This company doesn't deserve to exist. It's a sad tragedy that never needed to happen and because of a "maverick" CEO, people died. Disgusting.

All this fuss over some Darwin award winners

The implosion of the ill-fated Titan submersible stands as a stark reminder of the dangers lurking beneath the surface of human ambition and greed. This tragedy, which could have been averted, unfolded as Stockton Rush, driven by a desire for profit, lured unsuspecting adventurers into a perilous journey to witness the wreckage of the Titanic. His actions, marked by a troubling disregard for safety, ultimately led to a catastrophic failure that not only claimed lives but also shattered the dreams of those who sought to explore the depths of history. The incident serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of prioritizing financial gain over the well-being of individuals.

The captain just could not handle the pressure

How much more time and money do we need to waste on reckless dumb billionaires. We wouldnt still be talking about this if it happened to a average group of people.

I'm going to ask a stupid question. After this hearing with there be a Senat Hearing on what happen? Or will there be just hearing by the Coast Guard?

Stockton Rush
“The carbon fiber & titanium there’s a rule you don’t do that, well I did” that’s chilling because it got him & others killed 💀

I only felt sorry for the boy, in this whole ordeal. 🤷‍♂

These "Experts" are full of it. When it first happened they were saying it broke up into a gazillion pieces. Not True. There were some pretty big chunks brought up and there are large pieces left down there. They are saying they didn't suffer ..died instantly....Bull Crap . There looks like Blood splatter on the inside of one large white piece. That wouldn't be there after it broke up ....but before. Were one or more hurt ..bloody Noses when they all piled up on each other when it tipped ? These so called Experts act like they know their final minutes....they don't. And it was "All quiet on the Western Front"...when instead of a gazillion tiny pieces ...there were big chunks of it left. I would be willing to bet for seconds or was a Nightmare.

What I still wonder is, did the passengers have their phones with them? If so, may they have clues, maybe a video?

Dropped two weights? I wouldn’t even be thinking about texting anyone if I was in the moment of getting crushed by 20, 000, 000 pounds of water pressure, I honestly feel like that transcript is fake af, I mean, if I was in that situation, I wouldn’t be thinking about anything other than trying to survive, I think there’s more to it than this “transcript”

Abc always acting like they are investigating something!!!🎉🎉🎉

[somnuswaltz]

The victims of this tragedy performed one final good deed - they became instant lunch for some lucky filter feedeers

ABC will find a way to blame this on Trump as well.
What has ABC not done against the man?
