Dangerous air, which is what we've got here, as They told me on Public Radio today, interferes with brain function.

I’d have managed to control my grief had Musk and Trump gone along for the ride with Tate

I see and recognize my error which was gross and even sounds counterintuitive.

@Ran

I realize I may have sounded sarcastic here without elaboration.

My central point was that focusing on the individual moral virtue of the victims in this circumstance is improper it can easily turn into victim blaming and forsaking responsibility for the company.

But I’ve tried to indirectly sanitize the victims.

Oceangate innocent billionaire tried to get his finance officer to pilot the submersible, it has recently been reported.  She said, "My background is accountanting."

I’m still going to stick my neck out right here and proclaim that anyone celebrating the death of others, for whatever reason, 

My girlfriend and I at the time did celebrate when bin Laden died. There's a lot of bad people who it's fine to enjoy dying. The forum would have been dancing on Putin's grave if he had been overthrown recently. 

I also can't help but laugh when some idiot takes a selfie on the edge of a cliff and falls off. 

Quote

If someone celebrates the death of an innocent person, whether they are a refugee on a fishing boat or an “explorer” to the deep sea - that’s shitty fucking behavior.  

I do think it's wrong to celebrate the kid dying. Everything I've seen says he didn't really want to go. But come on, for the adults can't you see the funny side? Basically everyone said it was a bad idea and they did it anyways. Hubris is humorous when it fails spectacularly.

I’m going to agree to disagree, here, on the point that death should not be celebrated. YMMV.

So you wouldn't find the humor in reading the paper tomorrow to learn O.J. Simpson was stabbed to death by his jealous ex-lover? 

Innocent people dying is awful. Horrible people, there's a debate to be had. Not everyone deserves it, but many people don't deserve our pity. 

[A Horse Named Stranger]

I am with ty on this one (unlike his visit to Neverland). Some deaths are a somewhat joyous occasion. I was not exactly sad when Mateschitz kicked the bucket, I won't be sad when Trump follows suit. And I did not shed a single tear for Roger Ailes or Rush Limbaugh. I will raise a glass when Alex Jones suffers his overdue fatal heart attack. 

As for the submersible vics. The French guy seemed to be a sound person by all accounts. I don't have an axe to grind with the others, they are not on level of evil of the folks mentioned above. Stockton Rush strikes me as the stereotypical rich rules are for others libertarian kinda guy. He died by a machination of his own design (quite literally). 

[Zorral]

What people are doing is condemned obscenely over the top wealthy idiots who always insist they are the smartest people ever no matter what, taking people to their deaths, when he'd been warned and warned and told and told what he was doing wasn't at all safe, including the materials he chose to use to make his death trap. 

He's a murderer, not an innocent victim who accidentally happens to be obscenely wealthy, who wouldn't have been able to murder if not so obscenely wealthy.

Not the same as celebrating the deaths of the innocent people.

Murderer seems a bit much. Rush was reckless and I believe if he didn't explain every potential problem that could happen, including how the sub was flawed, then the contracts the others signed should all be voided so their families can sue.

There’s a difference between pity and not celebrating. 

Idk, there's a number of world leaders who if I learned died tomorrow I'd celebrate. As a Jew who dreams of a much better Israel, I will happily celebrate Netanyahu's death. Fuck that asshole.

Did they die on the same day? Or do you dance twice? Just curious. 

I confess I don't know much about Madame Pinochet (who I assumed had a lower profile than Imelda Marcos or Eva Peron).

[Ser Scot A Ellison]

Rush killed others with his hubris and recklessness.  I do not delight in anyone’s death… even Rush.  But… wow was he tempting fate with other people’s lives.

Deliberately using substandard materials is murder.

I mean, we are all different, here, and what I say is tasteless, others might enjoy. Maybe even for good and personal reasons. 

I’ve never held that level of personal animosity against anyone I’ve ever known and has wronged me, including but not limited to: my parents, my ex husbands, Cobb County police, Canadian border guards, and an ex boyfriend or two. 

Again, if you personally know someone and want to revel….that’s on you.

sure, i have no problem celebrating when horrible humans die, specially when they are responsible for so much suffering and didnt even pay for what they did, at least i will get joy that they arent alive anymore, i will take what i can get

More likely manslaughter and I doubt even that would stick assuming he didn't go down with them. The negligence is what could void out on the contracts. But murder? No, that wouldn't ever hold up.
