Like, funny "haha"? Or weird funny?
People died; it's about as comical as migrants drowning in the Mediterranean.
Billionaires died of hubris, oh no. The kid I might feel bad about but the rest not so much. Drowning migrants are desperate poor people looking for a better future, I don't see how those are in any way comparable except for happening at sea
I see this popping up a lot.
"Billionaire died", "rich guy croaked" "wealthy person perished"
It's as if some people are so caught up in a class war they forget that we're all flesh and bone. At 4km below the surface it doesn't really matter how you got there or what's in your wallet, you're totally helpless.
I'm not a very empathetic person in general, so I find it odd that i feel the need to explain this.
If you put it that way, let's crowdfund a fleet of these things. Billionaires can't resist a handout.
