We all felt similarly when OceanGate happened.

not even close

ocean gate was a collective rich fucks FA and FO, except for that kid. it wasn't so much celebration and jubilee, more like indifference and mockery.

OceanGate was rich assholes being done in by their own hubris. There’s a lesson in there, but the message is not nearly as clear as a rich asshole being killed (presumably) as a direct response to the exploitative behavior that made him rich.
