steinrokkan posted:Lots of people seems strangely invested in the kid being eaten by a shark rather than just drowning. It’s a psychological defense mechanism. No one wants to believe a young, healthy man could just disappear into the ocean in a matter of moments. It places less stress on the vision of our own mortality to attribute his death something beyond control or larger-than-life, such as bloodthirsty shark from which he had no chance of escaping. It removes a lot of blame from the victim too. “That shark decided to eat him and that was that. He was doomed.” Sounds a lot better than “Drunk guy gets disoriented and drowns after jumping overboard like an idiot”.

You can get into the aquarium for free if you agree to feed the sharks.

I can't say to a certainty whether or not the kid who jumped off the cruise ship got eaten by a shark, but Popov loving definitely got eaten by a shark.

I've personally swam even longer distances without issues before. Maybe I'll try it out next time I'm on a ship and post the video here. Swimming a couple of meters is not an olympic feat, guys

He was drunk and we have no idea what the current was. It's entirely plausible for someone to go overboard at night and be lost, especially if they get eaten by a shark.

The reason people are insisting it's a shark is because of a lesser known narrative principle of Chekhov's known as "Chekhov's Shark".

I've personally swam even longer distances without issues before. I’m team “looks like a shark, or at least a shark-shaped wave” but this is still discounting how easy it is to drown if you hit the water drunk and start panicking. Disoriented, flailing and not breathing right, and not an experienced swimmer who’s able to float in that state? It’s unnecessary to even add a current, people drown like that all the time once they lose control.

I've personally swam even longer distances without issues before. Make sure to get absolutely hammered first! No, for real, being drunk in the water is crazy dangerous and contributes to a very high percentage of adults who drown. That boat had giant loving nets on the side to stop people from going over the side for exactly that reason. Something like 15 years ago a friend of mine drowned in his parent's backyard pool. Guy was like 22, physically fit and healthy. Some combo of alcohol and medication was why.

If you show a splash on the first second of a grainy night video, you better have that splash attack and kill someone on the 10th second

So, if you're one of the dudes or dudeddes who conviced that guy to jump off the cruise. [A] Are you proud of your new bragging rights about killing someone with words? [B] Are you ashamed of having actually talked someone to death? [C] Are you using your newfound power to escape unwanted "holding a speech" duties?

In case there hasn’t been enough warning already, do not watch the video of the Russian swimmer. No grainy ambiguity, just pure horrifying carnage and the terror of the victim and his onlookers.
