To think it’s ironic all the stops are being pulled to rescue 5 people from a submarine

[MrsMillhouse]

Yet…. The world allows a boat with hundreds including children to sink

And the vessel may have been located, in the last few hours. Surely news that will be welcomed by all.

Exactly!!

Yes international help mobilised, including the U.K. Sadly they were told to wait nearby.

@readbooksdrinktea it's a valid comparison. And if its any comfort I expect when dozens of multimillionaire start dying in small submersible craft during deep sea dives, it will no long make the news

That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m simply wondering, if you don’t like a thread because you find it upsetting/think it’s in poor taste/disgusting. Then why keep on watching the thread and reading new comments? Why would you want to keep on upsetting yourself?

I personally don’t understand that at all but as you were

Didn’t realise it was an either or situation.

it’s all incredibly sad

It’s all just so fitting isn’t it?

The Titanic - pretty much a symbol of silly, rich, entitled people taking stupid risks because they think their money makes them immune to danger and finding out it doesn’t.

Apparently nothing ever changes.

Migrant boats are being rescued all the time. Our RNLI are constantly out at sea escorting them. You realise migrants pay thousands to traffickers to go on these boats right?
its a cat and mouse situation and they don’t have a way to track these boats so they usually sink before they’re discovered.
I bet you’re one of ‘those’ that hate that they’re still looking for madeleine McCann but don’t even put your brain in gear before you analyse the situation.

Nope.

Seems as though that's basically what are you saying. Mumsnet HQ have made it clear the thread will remain so whilst all the cruel responses continue which are so ill informed I will respond with my view? Can't believe I'm having to explain how discussions work or my reasoning to join in with one on a discussion forum.

I don't have an issue with money being spent on Madeline McCann although I don't actually understand it. But there have been huge numbers of articles / papers questioning it. That is a perfectly acceptable thing to question and isn't ghoulish at all.

Perfect example of the nastiness I have been mentioning in this thread. You read something this vile and realise actually you can't be this hateful, probably just don't get much attention for what you say anywhere other than an anonymous Internet forum discussing a horrific and unimaginable situation leading to people's death. Hope you feel great about yourself for writing this.

Ok👍

What is wrong with you?!

The navy do the same in international waters…so i think the ‘whole world’ comment is unfounded

these people are put to sea with boats that have holes in them and are sometimes forced onto the obviously unseaworthy boats

its just horrific

I agree with misscheifmaker, some excellent posts there

i hope that all those on the sub are rescued in time

Op your thread is bound to bring out this sort of thing.

At least 2 of them are brown.

@ItsBritneyBitchhhh

Silly comment

At least 2 of them are brown.

Been said several times

I do find it amazing that this thread is considered to be ‘in the spirit of mumsnet’ 🤷🏻

Ok!👍

This thread will almost certainly be deleted now a certain person's name has been mentioned.

The whole point of sailing on The Titanic was the apparent absence of risk - it was unsinkable, remember?
Many of the passengers were very far from being rich.
Hoping against hope that these people will be rescued.

I do hope the company is fined / punished for their recklessness though.

Oh 100%

I thought the same thing too tbh. It’s most likely only a matter of time due to that comment
