That’s just random internet nonsense combining two major recent news events about the ocean . No, nobody seriously thinks orcas did this

I say this as someone who teaches teenagers: their propensity to assigning EVERY SINGLE THING that happens in the world, even past documented incidents, an ulterior motive or conspiracy theory is incredibly annoying. These kids literally think Helen Keller didn’t exist and that the Titanic was sunk on purpose and other such nonsense. Why indulge this.

I teach teens and they don’t even know who Helen Keller was.

My students only know who she is because they consume garbage content trying to disprove she ever existed

Oh wow. Could you maybe do a DCUM post titled “crazy things your kids believe” so that I can make sure that my kids aren’t believing these things?

Many of them really believe the earth is flat. Thanks TikTok.

Your comment reveals your hindsight bias. They almost certainly didn’t know how risky this was. We only know now due to the intense investigations related to the incident.

DP: It doesn’t take “hindsight” or “bias” or “intense investigations related to the incident “ to get that being sealed into a small container to go exploring a wreck — inherently unpredictable— with a limited supply of air, and few if any specific plans in the event of an emergency is way beyond what most people would view as “risky” — on multiple levels.

Life is all about risk/rewards. That’s what makes us humans different than our closest cousins the chimps. Without it, we are no different. Want a banana PP?

Totally agree. Just the other day I rode a motorcycle in the dark with no helmet. The thrill I experienced reminded me of how grateful I am that humans evolved to take risks like this.

Indeed. There are countless TBI and spinal cord injuries resulting from such thrills.

+1 You couldn't pay me to do it.

Yes! Good idea and I agree. Also why would anyone want to disprove Keller existed? So weird.

I’ve heard that there have been rumors for over a century that Helen Keller faked some of her disabilities by a certain extent.

I’ve also read that Stevie Wonder is not really blind.

Ugh. Stop trying to make this about yourself.

Ugh. Stop being such a cruel, selfish jerk.

In an unfortunate twist of fate, five individuals find themselves in a perilous situation aboard a missing Titanic submersible. While the risks they are facing are undeniable, we should approach this topic with utmost compassion. Travel, by its very nature, encompasses both the excitement of exploration and the potential dangers that come with it.

The individuals aboard the missing submersible embarked on their journey driven by the innate human desire for exploration. Want to fault them for the money they spent? How is that important? It is crucial to acknowledge their courage and curiosity, appreciating their willingness to venture into the unknown. Treasuring this spirit of discovery, we must understand that risks are sometimes integral to unraveling the mysteries of our world.

Compassion guides us in understanding the gravity of the peril these individuals are facing. Empathy provides us with the ability to put ourselves in their shoes, realizing the vulnerability and fear that must accompany such a situation. Recognizing the urgency, it is essential to mobilize efforts to ensure their safety and well-being.

The peril faced by the five individuals highlights the fragile nature of life. It is a poignant reminder that, even in the realm of adventure, each moment should be treasured. This compassion urges us to appreciate life's complexities, to embrace loved ones tightly, and to remember the shared vulnerability that unites us.

And it is the reason we must travel on

I’m still wondering how the mother ship doesn’t know the approximate coordinates of this thing to help pinpoint where it was when it lost contact. Or maybe it’s because they waited too long to alert authorities so it likely drifted from that general area given the currents. Didn’t they wait 8hrs to alert the coast guard?

Why didn't they drop an airtag in the vessel? That would have helped find it very quickly

Serious question: why doesn’t Russia deploy a nuclear sub deep underwater near the wreck of the Titanic, since the entire US military seems wholly incapable of finding anything there?

Seriously. This whole thing would be over if they picked up an air horn at Camping World along with the overhead light.

Amazing that the makeshift sub may be the one thing that appears to be immune to inflation.
