Tragic? What was tragic about it? It were just some insanely rich doing something insanely stupid: dive in an untested home made tube built from rejected discarded build materials to dive to insane depths to disrupt a protected monument of something which killed thousands.
The kid that was killed didn’t want to be there. He was terrified. He only went because rich daddy insisted & paid for him to come along. That’s tragic.
I never said that. I’m just annoyed that when a rich person dies, it’s world news and “a tragedy” while when a poor kid or a non-white kid dies no one gives a shit. A school shooting and too man doors are being blamed and it is written off as “collateral damage” to preserve the second amendment but when a rich guy is killed the murderer is being labeled a terrorist and the death penalty is being sought. Steal 3 times something small from the store and get 25 years but scam thousands of people including the government for millions/billions and get 2 months if any at all. Why would I care about a rich kid when the rich only care about themselves. Sure, it’s sad for the kid he got pushed into something completely stupid and dangerous and had to pay for it with his life. At the same time we as the west are still supporting genocide and other horrible war crimes, costing the lives of thousands of children while people protesting this are treated as terrorists and criminals. It’s just a matter of perspective. Most rich kids end up not paying taxes like their parents and getting richer at the cost of others. So when a rich kid dies, I’m not going to care more than when anyone else dies. Especially when it happens by something so dumb as the Titan “tragedy”.

Still a super rich kid who got everything he ever wanted, except for this instance.
TIL it’s okay for kids to die if they’re privileged.
