It’s already starting.  I just read some kook’s Twitter post about how they believe these billionaires set up this elaborate “stunt” in order to fake their deaths.  The wing nuts are eating it up.  🤦🏾 

Wait until people realize that the dad was heavily involved with SETI.  The conspiracy almost writes itself.

I told you they found Atlantis!

You’re projecting. 
 

People were fascinated due to the unimaginable torture and terror we thought they were going through. 
 

A race against time .. in real time .. that we thought was happening. 

 

If we knew what our govt apparently knew on Sunday .. this story doesn’t become so gripping to almost everyone. 
 

It would be a headline for a day .. then out of the news a day or two later. 
 

…because most people understand why others, with the means to do it, would want to go see the Titanic. 
 

And we know things can go wrong.  
 

We haven’t ever encountered the mind numbing terror of the situation we thought we were witnessing. 

 

Per the bold, this is so true. There have been so many catastrophic events where we are spellbound by the potential tragedy while simultaneously rooting for another triumph of human ingenuity to rescue the victims. Whether it’s Chilean minors stuck below ground or a Thai boys soccer team trapped in a flooded cave or four young children surviving 40 days in the Amazonian jungle after a plane crash, the world collectively yearns for successful outcomes. There is something special about that shared humanity and the pride we can all share in those successes. 
 

But it makes the losses that much more tragic, too.

Let's not romanticize it. People slow down to look at car crashes hoping to see something grotesque. This isn't that different.

maybe not fascinated, but astonished by the sheer stupidity of everyone involved. its upsetting how all of this could have easily been avoided.

 

how many red flags does one need?

The pearl clutching on this one is hilarious. Not a thing of value was lost here and people are acting like a boat of refugees sank.

 

Oh, wait.

SUPPOSEDLY the US Navy picked up the acoustics right after the sub went missing. 

 

Wow... That's scary. How does the Navy hear that? 

 

The US runs a very effective underwater listening system.

That's why the Walker Spy Ring, which revealed in to the Soviets, along with daily Naval communication codes was so incredibly damaging.

That’s incredible if true.

 

I’d like to believe they didn’t suffer.

I had a problem with a 19-year-old going along. And now I’m hearing that the father forced him to do it. If so, that’s terrible.

I can’t make you understand that if you don’t want to.

James Cameron nailed it. I guess we all pretty much came to same conclusion why redundant systems failed:

 

"I felt in my bones what had happened. For the sub's electronics to fail and its communication system to fail, and its tracking transponder to fail simultaneously - sub's gone." ~James Cameron

...annnnnnnddddddd here come the loons.

What? The navy heard it when it happened. They're an agent of the US government. They didn't release this immediately. They admitted to hearing it days before the debris field was found. You would be the loon in this situation.

I just thought of this for some reason:

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_boy_hoax#:~:text=The Balloon Boy hoax occurred,Falcon was trapped inside it.

Director James Cameron is coming out now and doing a lot of news appearances all over Youtube.  He's very direct and critical of how this guy went about his business.  The whole thing was very much preventable.

 

Another emerging story: the Pakistani son did NOT want to do the trip and was terrified of it...he did it to please his father.  

 

That info. comes from his aunt.

 

That's really sad.

sosus is freaking powerful as can be

 

beyond all of that the us likely still has sensors all through the ocean. they used to listen to any naval traffic out of russia, and probably still do.

They had to wait because they had to get the ROVs in place to get a visual. 

 

No way the public handles this information well.

 

Let the "96 hour oxygen window" run out keeping hope alive before releasing the information. 

 

Gotta keep morale and hope up. Is 96 hours too much to ask to be 100% positive?

 

Sheesh... Imagine if they released that information on Sunday and were wrong... Dudes were floating around somewhere. 

 

The government did good and acted logical! For once?

it’s probably as simple as “we think it’s highly likely” vs “we absolutely know”

The story hid a bunch of other crap, more importantly.
