    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        At least they stopped short of saying "Let them die."

        The tweet has been deleted.

        The internet is forever:

        So, they replaced it with this "better" tweet.

              Based on the way safety appeared to be considered as an inconvenience more than a requirement, I'm guessing some lawyers are going to be moving pretty quickly, too.

              I was only joking

                    This pic was tweeted out recently.

                    4X-EDL is an Elal Boeing 787. On June 20 it did the Miami Tel Aviv route. They got this message from ATC. What they were they thinking? That a plane at 36000 feet can see a vehicle the size of a SUV in the floating middle of the Atlantic. But I guess it never hurts to try.

                        That would be like trying to spot a submersible 12000 feet under the ocean.

                            Can you imagine if they found more Trump classified files inside the sub?

                              I’ve had a rather macabre thought over the past few days that I’ve been hesitant to post. I even did once but deleted it. 96 hours of air is based on a full cabin. They were down 1 person, so that should stretch it out some, right? I mean, assuming the sub is intact?

                              And for that matter, there’s the possibility that 1 or more of the 5 passengers died during this… And if you really want to get dark, there may be some passengers willing to do whatever it takes to cut down on the amount of oxygen being used down there…

                                I haven't seen a plausible explanation, other than implosion. They actually had lots of safeguards in place, but it all hinged on not imploding, of course. Sand bags were attached to the sub by ropes that would dissolve in water after some number of hours, so even if everybody was unconscious, the sub would have floated to the top. Unless it imploded.

                                  They're saying the debris is from part of the sub - a landing frame and rear cover

                                      I wonder how many more victims the Titanic has claimed since it sank.

                                        Believe it or not, there is legal precedent for this:

                                        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_v_Dudley_and_Stephens

                                        In short. 4 men were in a lifeboat in the later 1800s... after many days, one of the men was in a coma. So they killed him and ate him. They claimed "custom of the sea" as a defense (a real thing btw, an alternative to maritime law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custom_of_the_sea), but ultimately were sentenced to the statutory death penalty.

                                        I guess back to your point, there was a reddit thread about this too, but basically yes if someone died, it would increase the length of available oxygen.
