Maybe then this circus can die down. There was never any hope of rescue so wall to wall coverage if this for 4 straight days was getting crazy. Once the official limits of oxygen capacity have been surpassed the story can die.

You must be new to these things. Media won’t let this stop their ratings are sky high. It will turn to what we can expect when oxygen runs out (with diagrams) and hypotheticals.

CO2 levels inside 22ft vessel will act like a 'sedative' that suffocates the five missing adventurers in their sleep - but hypothermia could SAVE them.

Have they dropped the implosion theory?

The CO2 would NOT act as a sedative. It’s the gas that makes you feel like you are strangled.

That’s just not true. That’s how people die from car exhaust running in garages. It can absolutely sedate. That’s why they have CO2 scrubbers. Carbon dioxide levels in the blood increase, causing shortness of breath and drowsiness, resulting in carbon dioxide toxicity.

I think that ego plays a big role in feeling invincible. Extremely wealthy people often can’t imagine bad things happening to them. Rush clearly thought he was the smartest guy in the room and there was no need for extensive unmanned testing or multiple fail safes. His refusal to do it the harder slower way actually hinders science and exploration, the opposite of what he claimed. Had he been willing to work for years more on building a better engineered tested submersible and share design issues and flaws that emerged during testing he would advance science more. So yeah the desire to explore may be human but even more so is the enormity of ego that makes people feel invincible. Story of Icarus.

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 enjoyed attending this TedTalk.

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?

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.

Yeah sure. And the palace had Diana killed and Tupac is alive on an island and 9/11 was an inside job.

/\ yeah that’s chat gpt. Easy to spot. Thanks for the levity pp!

You’re thinking about carbon monoxide poisoning. I don’t know how CO2 poisoning feels but it could be very unpleasant before it knocks you out. Like I imagine getting strangled would.

Ugh. Stop trying to make this about yourself.

Ugh. Stop being such a cruel, selfish jerk.

You need to be evaluated if you are sleepless over a bunch of idiot billionaires getting their rocks off doing dumb stuff.

Do they think Laura Bridgman was faking, too? Were both already faking as young children? I hadn’t heard this particular conspiracy theory before today.

Stockton Rush and the engineering of this thing reminds me a little of that tragic Schlitterbahn Water Park incident. I read a lot about how the park owners went about designing and building that ride, and it was a crazy, unscientific process of trial and error. Engineers were horrified by it.

There's frost on the inside of the parts of the submarine. They're were probably all huddled together trying to conserve their body heat. They're running low on oxygen and they're exhaling carbon dioxide- which would cause them to feel nauseated and eventually unconscious.

Horrifying

I would have probably survived in the sub IMO, and just turned around.

I don’t know if this has been mentioned: Wife of missing sub pilot Stockton Rush descended from Isador and Ida Straus, first-class passengers who died on Titanic”
