OP of the last thread has said she has to pop out so making this one as we’re almost full on the 2nd thread.

I cannot stop thinking about these poor men.

@BalanceMeHumours Thanks for that, I needed a good laugh!

@TheTERFnextDoor 'If the sub is on the surface "bobbing around", will it be thrashing the men from side to side or floating calmly?'

It's cylindrical so not only would it thrash, it would roll.

Really? Good news

sweetcheeks27 · 21/06/2023 22:35

I can't get this out of my head now. I think it's because of the grim deadline tomorrow. At this point I think it'll be a miracle if they are found. It literally would be my worst nightmare to be in a confined space like that for any length of time. The conditions and the panic must be horrific.

HashBrownandBeans · 21/06/2023 22:36

Ignore me, it was a dodgy link. Which is a bit grim really if the families see it 🙄

Oh so a fake story.
Damn.

Thread 3 😳 Ffs.

I'm totally sickened by the public and media's interest in this story.

Where's the hysteria when a migrant boat disappears at sea?
Why not the huge scramble of rescue crews desperately trying to save 100s of people, including babies and children?

Do only rich, white people matter?
They are under the sea because they chose to go on an extravagant and unnecessary trip.
Asylum seekers don't have such privileges.

FFS back at you. Give it a rest or start your own thread somewhere else.

You’re not up to speed on this story are you?

Peonyblushing · 21/06/2023 22:39

Ffs do you have to make this thread about another tragedy. There’s already a separate thread for the Greek tragedy, give it a rest and have some respect.

They do have limited supplies apparently.

They were allowed to take a sandwich and a bottle of water each.
They are discouraged from eating and drinking before and during the dive because of the toilet situation (small).

RiseYpres · 21/06/2023 22:40

Some of us have the ability to care about more than one issue at a time. And even have the ability to discuss more than one issue at a time. And to see the travails of humanity wherever it falls.

The wreck is 2500 miles down.

Probably feels like it right now.

The Nutty Putty Cave incident was worse than this, I think. But at least that bloke's suffering was over quicker. Sad

Atticus999 · 21/06/2023 22:43

I’m off to bed feeling very strange and knowing that if, by the time I return from the school run tomorrow, they haven’t been found… then there is no hope :-( And they may never be found. This eerily unfolding tragedy has had me following the news since I heard about it. It’s truly haunting.

as @Snowy2022 mentioned earlier - the French and Brits rescue lots of people from the Chanel everyday. Because asylum seekers do matter.

Why not start your own thread about it.

BalanceMeHumours · 21/06/2023 22:44

Thank you all for teasing me so gently, despite my being an absolute fool. Grin

Night.

All people matter. It’s no more relevant that these men chose to go on the sub than it is that asylum seekers choose to go on small boats across the English Channel.

people are rightly concerned about the men in the sub. Your lack of compassion and empathy for others is sickening.
