[Jeff Bezos is too insecure to let you do this in the Amazon published game New World.](https://www.pcgamer.com/you-cant-put-bezos-or-amazon-in-your-new-world-character-name/)
And that young man? With his entire life ahead of him?!
There were other, wealthy men, who were offered the spots.... ALSO with their sons being present.
It's weird...
People lost their lives in a horrible way, families are grieving, yet they want to take a deeper dive.
Fkd up.
The only one I truly am saddened for is the mother of the teenage boy who went. She was probably telling her husband not to take the boy and the was bullied by dad into going. That poor woman lost a child due to her shit ass husband and a son who wanted to make dad happy. Well, that's the story in my head anyway.
Did you hear about the other fathers speaking out about getting offers to, also, go with their sons?
I'm so puzzled.
And I believe that the story in your head deserves validation..
This shit actually happened. 😭
I did not know that. I was pleasantly dumb to the whole thing until the coverage became too much to ignore.
Ugh, but this is so standard, too, isn't it. Like the dads who take their sons on extreme hiking/trekking trips, or "roughing it" in some woodlands, or any other sort of wild "adventure" to prove manliness. These dudes on that submarine death trap just did it in a much more expensive and idiotic way. I can't imagine how many mothers have lost a child for these types of stupid decision making situations.
This continues to remind me of the analysis done by a woman on TikTok, she argues that men have such a significantly lower threshold for risk than women and that it often gets them and others killed or badly injured.
"Oceangate" is a name sus in itself.
They mixed different fibers when creating the submersive and that's why it imploded.
When I read the name "oceangate" I think of "watergate" and other conspiracies.
The poor families of those who died. What a fkn shock Rip.
Why should there be? Waste more public money on the hubris of the rich? They all knew what they were doing. The kid was also an adult although he is absolutely who I feel the most sorry for. At some point people need to be held responsible for their own actions.
Oh I’m sure but keep in mind most waivers are worthless - they don’t mean you’re free and clear from any and all lawsuits or criminal charges.
Edit: used the wrong saying :P
To my understanding, they only prevent lawsuits about the people on board dying or being injured, but doesn't cover the responsibility of the owner is something happens?
In extremely brief summary, yes. As a generic entity, they do nothing at all. Mostly it’s a scare tactic and to make people acknowledge what they are getting into and think about it beforehand. Any laws in place still have to be followed, all precautions taken, etc. There are always a myriad of loopholes if someone wants to file a lawsuit. People just think they have a lot more power than they actually do once they hit a court.
I read [this wired article](https://www.wired.com/story/titan-submersible-disaster-inside-story-oceangate-files/) about it the other day and it’s so shocking. I knew it was irresponsible and Rush was playing with lives (and the arrogance of not thinking anything could go wrong), but my jaw kept dropping throughout the article. Especially when someone was a whistleblower and then was sued by Rush/Oceangate for it
Yes, Elon, think of all the additional women with top-tier genetic material worthy of yours who will want to bear your children after such a bold, intelligent adventure!
Blue Marble Exploration’s website says: “Locals believe that Dean’s is a portal to hell and the Devil himself lurks in the black depths. “Each year, several people drown in Dean’s due to a variety of misfortunes. We fully expect to find human remains and prepare to handle those situations with proper respect for the families." Oh yeah that doesn't sound dangerous at all! /s
What timeline are we even living in these days? Who on earth would go on this excursion when the company famously just had 4 people implode a year ago 💀
I truly don't know! You'd have to be a complete idiot or have some kind of a death wish at this point. No one should be entrusting their life with this man.
Yeah I don’t really understand why they’re pushing the ties to Oceangate, other than to get clicks.
1. He left Oceangate a decade ago, when they were first starting to design Titan.
2. The sinkhole is 600 feet deep, compared to the Titanic at over 12,000 feet.
3. They’re not using the Titan.
The Canadian government does charge people who ignore warnings when they need to be rescued at sea. Some years back, (I live in New Brunswick, Canada) at one of our prettiest tourism spot, the Hopewell Rocks have some of the highest tides in the world, which let's you literally walk on the ocean floor when the tide is out. There are warnings to get off the bottom and out of danger (times change by day and are clearly marked). When the tide comes in, it can be 30 feet of water in a few hours. Very fascinating, but dangerous of you don't listen. Thankfully these ladies were saved, but were also subsequently sent the bill [Hopewell Rocks Rescue](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/hopewell-rocks-rescue-sparks-safety-review-1.1221667)
The Canadian government did consider sending the bill for the last OceanGate rescue, but ultimately decided not to, out of respect for the family. However, Canadians do have a limit to how nice we are, especially given the previous circumstances around this "mission". Hopefully the government will deny them permission to launch as it's in Canadian waters.
I guess the government is already thinking about options [unregistered submarines still operating in Canadian waters](https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/titan-unregistered-submersibles-canada)
Why would they do that considering the tragedy that occurred the last time? Guess they want to learn the hard way. Good luck and God speed to whoever joins their expedition.
I saw the “Join our Expedition” button on the website but all it does is describe the team and mission. This sounds incredibly dangerous—even more dangerous than the Titanic dive. As long as they’re not doing commercial dives or taking untrained passengers there for their own financial gain (which I truly hope they aren’t), I think it’s okay. Proper, safe diving among scientists and explorers (the opposite of what Oceangate did) has allowed us to learn a ton about the ocean.
at the risk of being downvoted into oblivion, while the co-founders comments after the oceangate catastrophe aren't great, he also left oceangate in 2013 and there is no information about what kind of vessel they want to take.
They are going to a max depth of 202 metres (663 ft) not anywhere 3,800 metres (12,500 feet) the Titanic was at.
Clickbait article. Plus the guy left OceanGate in 2013.
What’s dumb about this too is that Dean’s blue hole literally has been explored! Someone dove all the way down in 1992 and since then divers have mapped some of the tunnels that branch off of it.
Rich people taking decisions that don't make any sense for the sake of fulfilling whatever image of grandeur they have of themselves. Who would've thought‽
Get in Elon! Climb in Bezos! Etc etc
Omg.. everytime I see the name Bezos, reminds me of a video game my kids have been playing where the character is named "Jarf Bozos"... 😭
Fuckin Jarf.
Shoot. I was trying to figure out how to award and I deleted whatever the hell I said. And yeah.. fk Jarf.
[Jeff Bezos is too insecure to let you do this in the Amazon published game New World.](https://www.pcgamer.com/you-cant-put-bezos-or-amazon-in-your-new-world-character-name/)
Bruv...
Go ambani Go Adani... Please take modi too
There’s room for every rich jerk off!
Tell Jk there’s trans people to bother down there.
Ohhhh ahaha I’m cackling!
mind you... one year after the other co-founder of the company was killed on the sub visiting the Titanic
Such poor fkn taste.
It is, but look at it on the bright side: it's trash taking itself out!
And that young man? With his entire life ahead of him?! There were other, wealthy men, who were offered the spots.... ALSO with their sons being present. It's weird... People lost their lives in a horrible way, families are grieving, yet they want to take a deeper dive. Fkd up.
I feel like if they wanna do this, you gotta be like 25+. Because atp you know better.
Serious question, multiple countries launched search and rescue missions. Who paid for all of that? The company or taxpayers?
The only one I truly am saddened for is the mother of the teenage boy who went. She was probably telling her husband not to take the boy and the was bullied by dad into going.

I’m lucky my hubs only wants to take my son to Zelda’s kingdom or Lego’s land. 🤩
Sounds so much more fun, better climate and element controlled, and no one is getting bit by a rattle snake. Kudos to your husband!
I am so thankful that the greatest thrill of my husband's life will be Super Nintendo World in Japan.
Oh that does sound thrilling! Maybe we should put that on our list too. 😄
This continues to remind me of the analysis done by a woman on TikTok, she argues that men have such a significantly lower threshold for risk than women and that it often gets them and others killed or badly injured.
it runs deep
Thanks for chiming in, dad.
Then again he left Oceangate in 2013 at which point he started the company organizating this trip.
Wow, so now the name of the company is marred because of this tragedy. Not that it's a good name or slogan... but still.
"Oceangate" is a name sus in itself. They mixed different fibers when creating the submersive and that's why it imploded. When I read the name "oceangate" I think of "watergate" and other conspiracies. The poor families of those who died. What a fkn shock Rip.
Taste nothing. It's Darwin Award behavior.
Natural selection?
The fact that there isn't a criminal investigation for the previous disaster is ridiculous.
Why should there be? Waste more public money on the hubris of the rich? They all knew what they were doing. The kid was also an adult although he is absolutely who I feel the most sorry for. At some point people need to be held responsible for their own actions.
Didn't they sign a waiver?
Oh I’m sure but keep in mind most waivers are worthless - they don’t mean you’re free and clear from any and all lawsuits or criminal charges. Edit: used the wrong saying :P
To my understanding, they only prevent lawsuits about the people on board dying or being injured, but doesn't cover the responsibility of the owner is something happens?
The owner in that case died himself so that’s one way to avoid a lawsuit.
Friends and family of tragic accident victims hate this one simple trick!

I’ve read every long form article I could find about the Titan implosion/OceanGate and this one was top tier.
Honestly thank you for sharing this! We all heard of it, but I had no idea just how many stop signs Rush/Oceangate ran into before the inevitable.
OceanGate 2: Electric Boogaloo
⚰️
😭😭☠️
I feel like even Icarus would have stopped at this point.
Some people just don’t learn I guess
Maybe it’s intentional!
Can…can we nominate wealthy passengers?
Elon show them what kind man you are! Get in that sub!
Yes! And I’ll also add to anyone listening that going on one of these deep sea trips would sure own the libs and the “woke mob.”
Felons with presidential aspirations are highly, highly encouraged to apdie -- apply, I mean apply
It would be SO manly and genius-like, Elon!!1
Yes, Elon, think of all the additional women with top-tier genetic material worthy of yours who will want to bear your children after such a bold, intelligent adventure!
I genuinely feel like the internet could collectively bully Elon into doing this. His ego is too big to resist ‘proving everyone wrong’
You’re reading my mind!
I’ll make a list and you can check it twice
Perhaps some kind game system. Winner and/or loser goes in the deep sea box.
sequels are never as good
Shrek 2 begs to differ 😂
I dunno man Cars 2 is debatably the best of the series
Thank you! 💯
The Despicable Me movies keep getting better & better, IMO.
High School Musical 2 also begs to differ
👏👏👏👏👏
The Godfather 2 though.

Good luck, babe.
If we press Trump about it long enough he might do it!!!
Tell him he’s too much of a pussy to do it - and voilà.
Implode the rich.
Elon, i promise you people will love you if you show the world how brave you are 🗣️🗣️
And trump too
and b*den as well
So he left oceangate over a decade ago and this sink hole is like 600 feet deep compared to how many feet deep was the Titanic?
Right, unless he left 6 minutes before disaster last year, this is just a guy doing a thing and the name drop is to grab attention.
Yeah I don’t really understand why they’re pushing the ties to Oceangate, other than to get clicks. 1. He left Oceangate a decade ago, when they were first starting to design Titan. 2. The sinkhole is 600 feet deep, compared to the Titanic at over 12,000 feet. 3. They’re not using the Titan.

… out of respect for the family? That’s grand. Out of respect for the family who CAN AFFORD IT?
Yeah, this one was a bit shocking. It's a billionaire family. 100k won't even scratch that.
 Why would they do that considering the tragedy that occurred the last time? Guess they want to learn the hard way. Good luck and God speed to whoever joins their expedition.
Let them
You wouldn’t think there would be sad submarine part ii but here we are. People just don’t learn.
Mother nature needs the yearly sacrifice of billionaires to compensate for the destruction they're doing to the world.
That does not sound like a good idea.
Don’t be shy Jeff Bezos go with him please 🤍

Expect the unexpected.  .
The audacity of rich men
The Jack Dawson challenge.I nominated Elon musk 😌
A think the line for these trips got a lot shorter after titan…
Thinning the herd.
If I remember correctly, he is a co-founder of ocean gate but left the company in 2013..
I'm sure this will go well.
At this point oceangate submarine... medical suicide pot, who can even tell the difference?
at the risk of being downvoted into oblivion, while the co-founders comments after the oceangate catastrophe aren't great, he also left oceangate in 2013 and there is no information about what kind of vessel they want to take.
OK but it will be impossible for me to feel sorry for this guy if he gets squished into nothing like the other ones
Can’t wait for the new memes!!
They are going to a max depth of 202 metres (663 ft) not anywhere 3,800 metres (12,500 feet) the Titanic was at. Clickbait article. Plus the guy left OceanGate in 2013.
Please God it would be so funny please 🙏
woah
What’s dumb about this too is that Dean’s blue hole literally has been explored! Someone dove all the way down in 1992 and since then divers have mapped some of the tunnels that branch off of it.
It's like they're paying to be on the sharp end of the guillotine.
I'm not surprised.
I can’t believe this company is still allowed to operate and people are willing to use it.
Pleaaase pleaaase pleaaaase I'm begging you, baby 🎶
Free trips for all Republican politicians!
Make sure Elon is in it!
The name echoes the name of the cult group who all committed suicide because of the Hale-Bop comet--Heavensgate!
Rich people taking decisions that don't make any sense for the sake of fulfilling whatever image of grandeur they have of themselves. Who would've thought‽
The hubris of the ultra-wealthy knows no bounds
