Paul-Henri Nargeolet was among five people who died when the Titan submersible implodedduring a voyage to the famed Titanic wreck site in the North Atlantic in June 2023. No one survived the trip aboard the experimental submersible owned by OceanGate, a company in Washington state that has since suspended operations.

    I feel bad for the explorer and the kid and not a single other soul aboard this vessel. I empathize more with the microbes inside the shit that probably stained Stockton Rush’s pants than with Stockton Rush himself.

      His name was “Stockton Rush”?

      Tell me you chose your own name as soon as you were legally able, without telling me you changed your name as soon as you were legally able.
