>>572270When working with metal you require welders and heavy cranes. You are going to pay more for metal sections because they you probably won't have the means to transform raw metal into them.

>>572204My guess: the risk-reward calculation of saying it earlier doesn't pay off.
If you announce you've heard an implosion then winding down the rescue mission makes sense. If, a few days down the line, someone finds a tin full of asphyxiated corpses floating on the surface then you've doubly fucked up - you killed the rescue mission (so you're getting the blame for the corpse can)
and you've revealed that your surveillance system or the people operating it are unreliable.
Conversely, if you announce you've heard an implosion and the rescue mission is called off, sure, you save a rounding-error in taxpayer money, and you can flex that you heard it go pop, but ultimately it's not that much more impressive than if you announce it later, which you can do with no risk.
Plus the media probably don't really want to hear it - if you say "we heard it go pop on our magic navy microphone" then CNN are gonna find a guy who says that's just two dolphins colliding and then go back to speculating about Oxygen levels until the camera-robot gets down there and finds the billionaire Supa value pond flakes.

>>571670The banging noise was probably the grease buckets being opened to grease the hands of the search team in order to justify a $100 million taxpayer funded 6 day search of a submersible in a 5000 cubic mile range. Usually, for just a millionaire’s kid, they send a helicopter out for 8 hours to scan the sea before telling the family there is nothing more they can do. It’s apparent when there are two billionaires missing they break out deep sea robots and submarines at taxpayer cost to find the bodies. It really brings into focus how much of the public treasury is used as a slush and rainy day fund for the rich.

>>572258Wow so the kid's safety concerns were about fucking whales eating them? What a moron.
>>572259He's talking about the history of commercial submersibles presumably. Which makes this all even more ironic since that track record of safety is precisely because of all the precautions he ignored. The more I see behind the curtain the more it seems that this guy was some combination of delusional and getting a thrill from the Russian roulette factor.

That was an old Dick Cheney / GWB / Fox News canned response to the progressive left when they would break their balls about citizens united, inheritance tax cutdowns for the rich and other porky shit. Liberals actually used to pretend they were the party of rank and file working class people way more before Obama and Biden. The overton window is shifting right so fast that if you live long enough you get to witness liberals becoming as right wing as the shittiest right wing parties of your time.

>>572202How would you argue that making light of porky’s misfortune is actually a correct and rational self-interest driven behavior. I have friends who seem rather put off by my agitation regarding this, but I personally sense that it is correct to insert anti-capitalist levity and class critique against the bourgeoisie in this moment (as opposed to ignoring the class differences through engaging in national mourning and anxiety).

>>572291I can definitely see that. Parents love downplaying the concerns of their children and he may have had some valid concerns about the little tin can.
In the end, we tragically lost some poor sad billionaires, and that's the true heartbreaking tragedy here. :(
>>572126Worry not, anon. It's believed that the people on board knew their deaths were imminent and that they were going to die at sea with nobody knowing their whereabouts. I know it isn't perfect and I would've rathered them suffocate at the bottom of the ocean myself; we should take what we can get. (2nd picrel)
Although, I don't know if James fucking Cameron is really the best guy to be giving this information.
No.572297
>>572285tbf it's inherently harder and more expensive to look for a submarine than to look for a boat. with a boat you just fly a plane over a few times and if you can't find anyone, that's because they're underwater and dead. boom, cancel the search. submarines are a bitch because it's perfectly possible they're underwater but those onboard spite the taxpayer by continuing to live while playing hide-and-seek with would-be rescuers.
(but naturally the class dynamic still applies since
poor civilians don't tend to go missing in holiday submarines.)
