Pray for missing Titanic Submersible

[jaybird_1981]

Pride. America has to be the savior of the world. We would lose face if someone else gets the glory.

More likely it is just another example of our govt moving at a glacial pace due to all the red tape involved in anything we do.

British Titanic submarine rescue mission with high-tech vehicle 'blocked by US officials'

A British-based firm has a vehicle that may save the five people trapped in the Atlantic Sea - but says the US government has blocked them from joining the mission, it is reported.

A team of deepwater specialists from Magellan Limited have been waiting to leave an airport in the Channel Islands since 7 pm on Monday but approval for take-off has yet to be received, the Telegraph reports.

Magellan has apparent clearance from the Ministry of Defence to leave UK airspace, but the American government has allegedly not authorised its departure.

Could be that they already have enough S&R assets in the area. They might not want more equipment around as they are working on finding the sub’s location with the noise sensors. Especially if the operators aren’t following directives from those in charge which might be the case as their story is on The Mirror’s platform. They might not have the best interests of the sub occupants at the top of their list.

This is real

Kid needs to be smacked and taken off of any and all assets in the will.

It is much more socially acceptable currently to make fun of rich people which is why I think you are seeing all of those.

humans are humans. no one should suffer. I cannot imagine the feeling of helplessness those folks feel/felt. And days of agony.

Memes are completely irresponsible.

May be, but if it's Canadian based like said, I don't see how we could.

Canada is Little Brother to the US. They will do as they are told. Same for the UK, obviously.

I'd guess the thing imploded when they first stopped receiving signals from it and there was no days of agony. Probably instantaneous.

hope so, if they had to go.

Amazing the things people are saying on social media about a group of people dying.

The more I read the more disturbed I become that this was a business

Former Titan submersible passenger who took 4 dives in it, including to the Titanic, said communication with the surface ship was lost 'every single time'

Honestly it's disgusting. Some of the "eat the rich" posters and others taking satisfaction in the passengers potential deaths is psychotic behavior.

Amazing a minority achieves wealth and they’re automatically hated by the people who say they want to increase the wealth of minorities

its a lot more about the irony/history repeating itself, and laughing at people doing dumb things. I haven't seen anyone jump out say its wrong to laugh at Darwin Award winners, not sure why I should suddenly feel bad because these ones are rich.

I have laughed at plenty of memes that covered worse situations than this, and I don't see a reason to stop.

How many prayers does it take to find a little submarine in the ocean depths? One? Two? A million? I need a frame of reference.

The top comments below that twitter post are very funny.

Why would they stop them?

Think about who "they" are.

If it is a debris field from the sub, then they most likely suffered an instantaneous death from implosion.

I keep saying, the bottom of the ocean is a more hostile environment than the Moon.

You haven't seen the posts I'm describing, then. I'm not referring to the memes and people trying to make the best out of a horrific situation, I'm referring to those relishing their deaths and celebrating them.

Here are a few examples:

Was hoping for something positive but this didn’t look good from the beginning. If it imploded that would be a much better way to go than sitting in darkness for a couple days waiting to suffocate.

The Babylon Bee? Really?

 

[Firebirdparts]

Let's not have a jibber-jabber fest here with banal responses like "Really". Say what you mean.

The Babylon Bee was reporting on the political philosophy of real people. It is what it is.

Nobody cares what I think about their politics. These people are not trying to be funny. At least not funny enough to laugh. It's totally philosophical.

People who are actually funny, if somebody thinks it's distasteful, then I say that's probably a nice person. I'm not the kind of person would "argue" a simple matter of taste.

 

[Through_The_T]

The Babylon Bee? Really?

This is from Not The Bee, which is differnt than their satirical site. Did you bother to read the article, or just comment without doing so? I've attached pictures since that was too difficult...

 

[Dudleys87]

A bunch of broke people having a laugh at rich people doing rich things. When if they were rich they’d do the same stuff.
