Is it though? I feel the same way I do when I hear another base jumper, parkour influencer, or wing suit junkie died.

There is a certain amount of empathy I want to have about the situation. Because at the end of the day, someone lost a loved one.

But there is also a bit of poetic justice when someone visits the wreck of a ship that played a large role in making sure ships were safer in case of catastrophic failure.

Only to ignore those procedures and end up right next to it.

I think it’s sad, but not as sad as when people die who weren’t daring the universe to do it.
