US Coast Guard officials tell CNN they’ve determined that the debris found by a remotely operated vehicle on the sea bed about 500 meters from the wreck of the Titanic was indeed from the OceanGate Expeditions Titan submersible, meaning it’s likely that the five men on board, including OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, were killed instantaneously in a catastrophic implosion.
We were might’ve ran with a joke about the Titanic claiming five more First-Class passengers, however that one of them was a 19 year-old kid, Suleman Dawood, is definitely on the outer edge of what we think is tasteful. Yeah, he was legally an adult, but just barely so and that his father plainly didn’t do his homework before writing a $500,000 check to send them both to their doom is a tragedy. Shahzada Dawood and the other three, especially Rush, kind of had it coming.
