The teen is the only person I feel bad for.

The old guy is in his 70's and while I'm sure he was planning on living longer, going out doing something wildly stupid in your late 70s and making world news over it is not bad way to go out.

Under no circumstances should you be proud of someone for wearing flip-flops.

This shocked me so much that I went to the site just to see and there are now over 30 "fanfictions," most of which involve the guys loving each other. It's rare that things on the internet shock me anymore, but I was absolutely appalled.

Sunlight doesn't reach down to the Titanic wreck.

I think they will be ok, everyone knows how it ended up is just their idiot billionaire boss's fault and I hope having something like that in the resume very early in their career will work as a good eye-catcher.

If you haven't seen it, you need to watch a 2019 documentary called "Last Breath", about a commercial diver stranded on the seabed after his umbilical got sheared off, with only five minutes of oxygen supply and no chance of rescue for more than 30 minutes. I think it's on Netflix or Apple TV?

this is not a drone. it's a a commercial vessel with 5 people on it.
so no they do not use xbox 360 controller to fly manned aircraft
and the expensive drones do not use xbox 360 controllers. and they also have an incredible array of redundant stability systems that Stockton did not develop




Maybe they don't *anymore* but they absolutely were back in the late 2000s

I just read Futility: The Wreck of the Titan, and uh spoiler warning for a 125-year-old novel but it raised a legal question: In the book, the Titan hits an iceberg while the sailor on lookout was drunk, which voids the Titan's insurance policy. The only person alive to testify to this fact is the sailor himself, and he freely tells the insurance company's lawyers. When he learns that the child he rescued from the wreck will get a large inheritance if the insurance is paid out, he refuses to testify. Would this be some kind of insurance fraud?
