The five people aboard a missing submersible died in a "catastrophic" event, a Coast Guard official says, bringing a grim end to the massive search for the vessel that was lost during a voyage to the Titanic.

"The debris is consistent with a catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber," Mauger said.

Yeah, this is where I'm at too. It's just... obscene.

Same. Rich people hubris is just the kind of circus that makes popular news, it's grotesque. But also I get it, because a ship full of refugees dying is a grim reminder that all of us are one natural disaster, war, or psychopathic politician away from the same situation, while the submersible story is a tragedy that will never happen to any of us.
