As a side note, there were babies on that plane in those temperatures for that long!?

That was my thought too, that’s deadly for babies and children. I’m astounded.

Interesting, maybe I shouldn’t be surprised, humans haven’t changed much over the eons.

Any recommendations for true disaster videos? That sounds y up my alley.

It concerns me that we’re seeing this more and more in industry. Middle fingers to regulations because when you have enough money, it doesn’t matter.

I brush mine in the shower.

The youngest of the patients at Alcor is two-year-old Matheryn Naovaratpong, a Thai girl with brain cancer, who was cryopreserved in 2015, reports Reuters.

“Both her parents were doctors, and she had multiple brain surgeries,” More tells the publication. “Nothing worked, unfortunately. So, they contacted us.”

This is a bit chilling. How do you begin to move on with your lifeif you’re holding out hope that your loved one will be revived one day? What happens to this girl’s body once her parents die? What happens if they beat the odds and master cryo and the girl gets revived in 100 years? That sounds incredibly traumatic.

I’m primarily a lurker. I’ve been trying to be better about participating lately because I’d like to help the fediverse grow and be a meaningful online meeting place.

Why are they collecting financial information??

I find myself making fun of the engineering, but I think it’s a defense mechanism. I’ve had a pretty strong interest in the Titanic since I was a kid, and if I were offered the opportunity to see it, I think I’d be more likely to go. And it’s scary to think I’d end up on a vessel that wasn’t designed to do the thing it advertised it can.

How much did the people who went actually know about the sub they were on? How common is it to sign a waiver about dying to go on a commercial sub?

It’s easy to laugh with hindsight, but it’s scary to think what could have happened if I were in the position to choose to go.

The moments before the implosion were something that no one should ever need to feel in their lives.

Just to this point - it would have happened too fast for them to even register anything was happening. Complete destruction would occur in 1/20th of a second. (Per Insider/Naval History Magazine)
