  1. The US 🇺🇲 and Canada 🇨🇦 promptly cooperate in rescue efforts of saving human lives.
    This is in stark contrast with how the Chinese regime responded when the WHO asked for its cooperation in the Wuhan outbreak.

  2. Always remember guys things could be worse…….I understand there are 5 rich men stuck in this submersival but most of us women love the Titanic movie so if any woman was down there were would be singing " My heart will go on" for the 100th time that all the guys would want to kill themselves well before the oxygen runs out.

  3. I can't imagine the terror these people must be going through, presumably trapped in this submarine with less than 30 hours of oxygen left. My heart goes out to them and I pray for a miracle. The ability of the tourist sub’s hull design to withstand such depths was questioned in a 2018 lawsuit filed by OceanGate’s former director of marine operations, David Lochridge, who said he was fired after he raised safety concerns about the vessel. The same happened when Alexander Carlysle, a designer at Harland and Wolf, raised concerns about the inadequate number of lifeboats on Titanic. His concerns were ignored and he resigned. I read that their means of communication was a play station. I don't think that naming this submarine Titan was a very good idea – it is 2 letters short of the name Titanic.

  5. they are dead. Shahzada and Sulaiman Dawood fucked up the whole submarine and the whole crew suffocated due to the smell of farts, their money didn't stink, but their farts did

  6. I watched a band in Morocco once. They were a bunch of locals singing ‘what’s going on?’ By the four non-blondes. They didn’t know a word of English or even understand the words they were signing. They’d memorized – largely – the sounds that were supposed to occur at each bar of the song. It sounded like some weird AI robot regurgitating a close approximation of the original. This reminded me of that moment: thank you for taking me back.

  7. Right, so when do we ask ChatGPT what to do? What if for some reason 1 or several persons already died in an attempt to stretch oxygen supply, would you consider suicide to save your son? Maybe they had a failure that left more than 1 people incapacitated. You gotta be a machine thinking about those options is a real solution. God help us.

  10. When trouble not looking for you, please for goodness sake, don’t look for trouble. Spend the monies to help the poor and needy instead. If they get rescued later, hopefully they learn something about life.
