I'm not celebrating their deaths. I'm deriving amusement from their abject stupidity. Every single part of this was preventable a dozen times over. If Stockton Rush, a man who by the way has a name and face right out of Venture Bros, was determined to actually kill himself and his passengers then he could hardly have done a better job on purpose.

People are making this into memes because to be quite frank the entire thing is already a meme. This is peak clown world.

I'm not going to celebrate the loss of their souls, and at the very least they didn't die slowly of suffocation. But I'm also not going to chide myself from chuckling at the idea of them being disintegrated because a ridiculous living joke of a man tried to make a submarine out of carbon fiber and fired all the real engineers who told him it'd rupture at any decent depth. Which it did.

Difference being, Rusty doesn't believe his own bullshit enough to risk his life personally.

Same here. All things considered (putting aside for a moment the fact that this was a blown up distraction story, and genuinely has no impact on my life) I'd rather these people hadn't died. I take no pleasure or joy from their (alleged) deaths.

Doesn't mean I can't find humor in some of the things surrounding the event.
