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.

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.
