[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finally this story got the attention + coverage it deserved.

As well as the empathy.
Just because those lost at sea were billionaires, that didn’t mean the value (no pun) of their lives were any less.
These people were still human beings as all of us are.

They were parents, sons, spouses, etc.
They were someone’s good friend.

And they should never have been faulted for being adventurous & curious.
We do not place blame on astronauts who risk their lives by venturing into outer space…..
Look at how the Challenger’s last crew is remembered as being noble and brave.

Exploring the perimeters of our world takes courage - an excess amount of it.
Kudos to those w/the bravery to do so because their bravery allows the rest of us to learn more about the world we all are a part of.
And the images we are given from their adventures are truly breathtaking as well as priceless.

R.I.P. to all the five, very brave souls that were lost in this tragedy.
And may their legacy be remembered  fondly. 🕊️[/quote]

What?!?  These were not explorers. They were thrill seekers. Trained astronauts don’t pay $250,000 to dive to some wreckage in a ramshackle submersible. C’mon - you cannot compare the two. They’re not even remotely the same.

Apologies if that was sarcasm and I misunderstood. [/quote]
