So, I think one of the main factors that went into the difference in reaction between the Thai cave rescue and the Ocean Gate situation is that cave situation was a freak accident that nobody could have prevented. The OceanGate event was self-inflicted. The owner built a submersible that all experts in the industry warned would not work over time and that owner didn't listen and the thing those experts warned about ended up happening. It's less a horrible accident and more that rich guy murder/suiciding 4 other people he misled into believing it was safe

@@littlelw319 Unless you're an asshole that is *not* self-inflicted. A sign that says cave "can" be flooded and a sudden rainstorm that dumps more water than is average for the area is not remotely the same scenario as a person making a submersible that is not tested to regulations, firing an employee who pointed out the danger in their craft, and still the owner went down anyway lying to the people he brought with him that the sub was tested and certified. 999 out of 1000 times the cave situation does not end in people being trapped.

Morbid fact: The submarine, due to the depth and pressure likely imploded within 1 millisecond. It takes the human brain on average 13 milliseconds to register a visual signal, and 250 milliseconds to react and process a thought. Everyone aboard died without even being able to process what happened or pain of any kind

[@gredystar8333]

The system that caught the explosion is called the SOSUS and has been operational for decades. It's a long cable that can detect waves moving through water. While it's technically not public, it's no secret either, and you can bet foreign nations know its location already. It you want to go full tinfoil hat conpiracionist, a more likely one would be that they wanted to practice in case they need to launch a recue operation like this for the military later on so stopping the search early wouldn'thave allowed for that. But honestly, an even more likely scenrio through all this that is not nearly as exciting: This is just how the Coast Guard operates. Even if an implosion was heard, the specifics of the vessel weren't known fullly. This was essentially a backyard project from the nutjob CEO, and he refused to submit the vessel design to the appropriate testing procedures. So maybe it was something else that caused the sound, maybe just one of their airtanks and not the actual main cabin. Even if the chances were now very low, the fact is, it wasn't 0. The Coast Guard is just known for going through incredible lengths to save lives. There are hundreds of videos of them recuing people in the worst conditons possible at sea.

@@gredystar8333 there is no rescue submarine on earth that operates at that depth and even if there was, it doesn’t have a universal docking port that would be needed to use it.

The seafloor around the titanic is at 12,500 feet. The moment they sank at that depth no rescue was possible, unless they were out of control floating on the surface.

I watched a documentary about the Thai cave situation and as far as I remember that group of kids went with their coach to specifically explore the cave since it's a local attraction. They must have been already quite deep in and then weather changed suddenly and some parts started filling up with water so they tried to escape the water and their only choice was to go deeper ABOVE the water level. That's why they got trapped. And the rescue mission was HUGE, local military & services tried to get them out but they couldn't. Only way was through the cave itself. They were constantly pumping out water but more rain didn't help. The two divers (British & Australian dudes) that took the task weren't just "randomly" there, they heard what happened cause even the local government asked for international help I think, so they decided to help. They literally had to guide a team of local Navy Seals equivalent to be able to pull this all off. One of the soldiers unfortunately died during the rescue because of an accident occuring, that's how difficult the whole mission was. It was a miracle that all the kids and the coach survived in the cave for this long.

I think someone already mentioned it in the comments, but the Thai Cave event is sooooo different from the Submarine situation. Like, the cave event was completely accidental and I can assume by the time they realized there was water filling the cave, that I think is open to the public, there was no way to get back, right? But the Submarine situation was like walking into a landmine and thinking you'd live when clearly, you wouldn't. It was a deathtrap the moment they suggested the idea of it until the very end, when it was finally built. So it's hard to fill bad for a bunch of rich dudes who literally built their own death machine (aside the teen, I feel awful for him) and it's hard to feel sympathetic for them. Especially considering the situation about 700ish immigrants lost at sea, I haven't fully read up on that, but I know they were supposedly left to die and I didn't hear about that situation UNTIL the Submarine because obviously, people were upset the world cared so much for these dumb rich dudes.

The entire situation got the way it was because of the profoundly poetic irony. It played out like a fucking Family Guy skit.

[@sarispooks6366]

they died by their own hubris, they paid 250k to go in a submersible, not a sub because to be a submarine you have to pass regulations and the company was open nah fuck that and just any regulations in general . the fact CEO was in the mit of seeing a whistle blowere for say ay yo this thing is a death trap made out of carbon fiber and plexi glass not suitable to handle the pressure that is the ocean floor is varry telling . or add the fact the thing had a malfunction beforehand about the rutters being installed wrong and their fix was holding the controller sideways. add all of it together thy ran past so meany red flag because they thought nothing bad could happen to them the only one who should have any remores over was the kid who did not want to go but the father made him because fathers day. then you add that most of the world is just fedup with the rich

[@persephonehades7547]

When you actually look into the other people in the sub besides the CEO, you actually see that a couple of them tried to help the world a little bit. Sure, we're not all the displaced cheetahs of India or from Pakistan, but like these people could've done more things if they just didn't go into the sub. One of them could've grown up to do the same things his father did. I feel like people want to imagine that everyone on that sub was the CEO, foolish with way too much money for way too little public contribution, but that's just not true. I kinda wish more people saw that. And this is coming from a person so poor that I don't even know if I can eat everyday.

[@colemorgan889]

That's the neat part, it doesn't.

[@neociber24]

Its weird hating others for the amount of money they have, I undestand the reasoning but not empatize with it. How much money should the boys or MrBeast have to be acceptable to hate them? Maybe is because I dont use Twitter but I can't hate people I don't know.

[@arqueiroXD]

Its fairly simple. If it reaches Billions you are a problem in the system. MrBeast is not even close to Billions. The thing about one billion is that you need 1000 millions and most people in the world can't eve get close to that. Add the fact that if you this rich for some ""curious"" reason law seen to not fully apply to you. At one Billion you can only have this amount of money by exploiting someone else and then it also adds the dragon hoarding of this money too.

[@Abrahamwaffle]

The reason people hate the rich isn’t because of the amount of money they have, but rather because that amount of wealth almost always requires exploitation to take place, having a successful business pretty much necessitates a blatant disregard for the life and humanity of workers (see the recent wga strike and the lenghts execs will go to before just paying even a bit more to the union writers). Mr beast is actually one of the few examples of a millionaire who managed to become incredibly rich without exploiting anyone, by just making money through sponsors/ad revenue he can just make money by helping others or giving it away, that’s cool but he’s very much the exception. It’s hard to feel empathy for people like jeff bezos who lives a perfectly comfortable life when there are amazon workers peeing in bottles in order to keep their jobs, especially when you know that one of those things is a direct result of the other.

[@romanreyes3215]

1:40 from some research, it was deduced that the submarine didn’t actually Immediately exploded, in fact a micro leak stream inside the sub jetting water at a high velocity that could cut bone but not the material, filling the inside slowly compressing the air slowly becoming poisonous to breath from the concentrated oxygen and nitrogen as its filling inside, and the water would be fill up the sub inside with a different atmospheric pressure for each level of cubic meter developing a different atmospheric pressure to attempting to equalize the volume of pressure, and then it would expelled the inside of the submarine outside because the sub ratio of atmosphere wasn’t enough and highly likely exploded outside the window area because it is a weaker adhesive, however the according to some transcripts and documents the implosion was not instantaneous but the conclusion of the mess, because the coms broke down, and timeframe

[@jahoyhoy9097]

It's like laughing at a person dumb enough to jump in a lion pen. They were asking for it. RIP that young boy who got pressured into the sub by his father.

[@modvavet]

I'm not in any way, happy that those folks died (although the memes were pretty fire) but it's hard to reconcile the attention that story got next to, at the same time, a migrant/refugee boat going down off the coast of Greece, on which they were estimating some 700 people, only around 100 of which were rescued. But, at least in the states, most folks probably didn't even hear about it because 5 billionaires (one of whom was the owner and CEO of the company that owned it) in a submersible got obliterated in the blink of an eye. A submersible, which, because irony is dead and hubris is rampant, said owner absolutely refused to submit to any sort of real testing and built with materials that were absolutely substandard for the depths it was to reach. A fact of which he was informed repeatedly and repeatedly blew off. So, yeah. I'm not happy that they died. But they absolutely made this bed and I'm not about to lose sleep over them having to lie in it (with the possible exception of the 19-year-old son who didn't even want to be there in the first place).

[@feedbackhell]

i think it should be a regular thing. if you have the wealth to wipe out world hunger, and you choose not to, you deserve to be instantly crushed to death in the middle of the ocean

[@ganymedehedgehog371]

That’s not enough wealth to “wipe out world hunger”. You can’t outspend the concept of scarcity.

No one celebrated their deaths. They were making fun of their stupidity and hubris. Also wanting to go see the Titanic which is a mass grave (of mostly poor people btw) for anything other than research purposes is an asshole thing to do.
