Yes you are. Evil that is.
I reluctantly acknowledge that Gervais would probably make that ‘joke’ too. With the caveat that the only reason he’d feel safe doing so is that they were rich. And even then I’d like to think the fact that a nineteen year old kid lost his life just trying to please his father would give him pause.
Feel terrible for the kids family and all those who lost loved ones, no question. But I believe that one can have humanity and also not walk around outraged all day long.
Ricky Gervais pulls no punches ( and apparently neither does
@Frank the Tank )
That said, at the end of the day they all willingly climbed into an untested, unregulated submersible that had known safety and communications issues, that you needed to be bolted in from the outside, that was controlled by a jerry rigged X Box controller, that used off the shelf components never tested or rated for 380 times the pressure at sea level, that was designed with a carbon fibre and titanium pressure hull by a guy who thought he was smarter than the experienced submersible designers who said it could fatigue over time and implode, and they all, including the 19 year old legal adult who was
>allegedly< pressured by his father, willingly signed a death waiver.
When you sign a death waiver it is for real and they exist for a reason.
