Not a lot, due to the reason they perished. Paying quarter-of-a-million quid to do what? Gawp at a wreck through a windae’? I am genuinely sorry that people died, but it’s very much a ‘nae luck’ vibe I’m detecting overall on the good ship P&B* *Thoroughly certified to a depth of 2 feet after Div’s maintenance on Monday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 The mass media hysteria continues but this "intrepid explorers" stuff can get in the, erm, can be stopped right now. As far as I know it wasn't a research trip or information gathering, just something that could be done due to them being so rich. It's not as if they crossed the Andes by frog. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do you think we could charge people for that experience? I see a lot of folk comparing the reaction to this with the reaction to the migrant boat sinking, as well as folk shaming others because they are laughing at people dying on this thing, but the lot of them can go and get fucked. People don’t want to talk about the migrant boat sinking because there is nothing but shame on humanity in it. We are laughing at the other because of how fucking obviously ridiculous the whole thing is. Laughing at it does not equal a lack of empathy for those involved(Well, the young boy who by reports was bullied into the fucker by has da at least). If you don’t understand that, you are the idiot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the drama of people being trapped alive with the air running out and loads of people trying to work out a way of saving them, like the Thai football team. Drowning at sea hasn't got the same Hollywood plotline, and it happens so often empathy dissipates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much easier to sell the ongoing drama to a TV audience when the alternative story is already at the final result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
