OK - it may not be a geopolitical news tragedy but I feel the victims deserve at least a "passing" mention here. But I'll try to give it a little geopolitical edge/spin all the same. Here goes - deep breath: Deep Sea Implosions versus Explosions When your intention is merely to explore the wreck of an unsinkable ship - you perish hellishly. The Titan victims' deaths were/are as gruesomely and titanically ironic as it gets(as no media reports have mentioned). By contrast - if your mission is to innocently blow up a pipeline and cripple the German/EU economy everything runs smoothly. Yep - there must be a God then. One possessed of a gruesomely divine sense of irony. The FT has no problems credibly reporting THIS submersible's mission and the fateful outcome: "Five Dead After ‘Catastrophic Implosion’ of Submersible at Titanic Site": https://www.ft.com/content/8738ac76-78cb-4a94-9a7f-417c28904ac7 "The Curse of the Titanic" - are any more wealthy tourists still eager to commune - eternally - with so many lost sunken souls? And will Hollywood/Netflix scriptwriters/producers be itching to respectfully cash in? |
