Not to mention the people on the sub were fucking idiots that stupidly decided to do some tourism is a deathtrap VS 6 people that were just doing their job

Wait, they already gave up?? That happened just barely over a day ago...

It would take a miracle to last that long in cold water with no wetsuit though

The submarine had billionaires on it. Wealthy people are the only lives the state cares about.

Humans don't usually live under water for days at a time..... unless they're in a submarine

They knew they were dead from the beginning, they just wanted to send a message that they will spare no expense. It was expected, so they did it.

I get the point being made, but iirc there was no real confirmation that the sub had exploded initially, and so there was the belief that they might’ve been just floating around down there still alive but unable to communicate with the surface. Whereas with this I think it’s a more surefire thing that they’re dead - like unless they’re clinging to debris or were able to swim to shore, I’d imagine the only other option is they’re drowned

The water at the time was around 40 Fahrenheit/9 Celsius. That gives you, if you survive the fall — which includes not inhaling water with the human gasp response when you hit the cold water or breaking you pelvis/legs/back on the at-that-height now concrete-consistency water (~20 feet/7 meters or above) — a rough seven minutes to get to shore and wrapped up nice, tight, and warm to prevent hypothermia.
