@tubetime I’ve seen disposable drug smuggling boats wash up on the coast that are more resilient than this. @tubetime am thisclose to a panic attack (no, am not joking) reading this. this was a death sentence from the very beginning. when Walter Benjamin said that capitalism is a death cult, this is exactly what he meant. @tubetime summary of the report: this is what happens when you let billionaires/techbros design and/or build stuff that should keep lives secure and safe. @tubetime Sheesh, this feels more like a movie prop than something intended to go to extreme ocean depths. We've all done hacky things but not in such unforgivable environments with risk of life for....tourism. |
