    The first image of the Titan submersible sitting at the bottom of the ocean following its catastrophic implosion last year was shared by the US Coast Guard on Monday as investigators opened a hearing into the tragedy.

    Tragedy?

    Lmao fuck off CNN don't tell me how to feel about a billionaire killing themselves.

      Tragedy, noun

      2 : a serious drama typically describing a conflict between the protagonist and a superior force (such as destiny) and having a sorrowful or disastrous conclusion that elicits pity or terror

      Ocean pressure is a superior force, so it's not inaccurate.

        If a homeless person dies on the street from exposure in winter - CNN would not call that a tragedy. In fact if that happened to 3 or 4 people in the same city on the same day - CNN still wouldn't call it a tragedy. Why? Such things happen and CNN and the MSM in general ignore it. The public doesn't even learn the names of the dead.

        But some obscenely rich idiots go down to oppressive ocean depths in a badly tested tin can and the MSM says it's a tragedy. Why? Ocean pressure is not the reason.

        and having a sorrowful or disastrous conclusion that elicits pity or terror

        It's not sorrowful., Could be disastrous so I'll give it that. It neither elicits pity nor terror though.

        You could only make a disaster/comedy about it.

      The cylinder in which porky and pals sat was the center segment that imploded and shattered. The hemispherical end cap (not pictured) and tail portion which held the support hardware (shown in the screencap) were bolted to either end of the deathtube.

    This whole time I though it was a one-piece Fiberglass construction. The Boeing action-price Fiberglass wasn't even the issue, it was the glue holding them together. Winter RVs are built better than this thing
