It’s exactly two years today since the Titan submersible implosion incident.

Watching the documentary about it on Netflix, it’s incredible just how stupid Stockton Rush actually was.

Pig-headed idiot the fella. Ignored all industry-established safety standards and thought he knew better. I'm so glad he was part of the crew when it imploded, but shame he wasn't in it by himself.

Looking back, how ridiculous was the New Year's Eve-style oxygen countdown on the news websites? Only 76 hours to go!

And the search was all to look like they were doing something as the sonar blip heard before the total lack of activity was widely known to have been a catastrophic implosion. All the relevant people knew they were already gone.

James Cameron did a brilliant interview on this at the time. He was saying the news countdowns were absolutely wasting everyone’s time and giving false hope. Anyone who knew anything knew they’d died at source.

Media; “OMG ARE YOU TRYING TO FIND THEM”?

Rescuers; “err, yeah, look over there, how’s the weather”?

Yeah, but it is reassuring to know they can scramble specialised ships from at least a couple of Navies when an idiot multi-Millionaire ignores health and safety to commit suicide in a shonky fibreglass tub a few thousand feet below the surface in the middle of the Atlantic.
When my gran goes onto an already too long waiting list for an Ambulance when she has a heart attack within a mile or so of a hospital.

How do we feel about masked white suprematists kidnapping people off the street, and deporting them in chains without due process or any right of appeal?

Good idea or not?

I do believe that he really is anti war and wants wars to stop but unfortunately he's not the negotiating force he thinks he is.

Iran have to make good on their threats or risk sounding like the Black Knight in Monty Python.

They respond massively or will be toppled by their own people.
