back in barbados,
we have a submarine that takes you out for a spin around the ocean.
it doesn’t go very far and as a kid,
i thought it was the coolest thing ever.
as an adult,
my anxiety refuses to step foot in that thing ever again.
as someone who was obsessed with the titanic,
i’m hear to font ya’ll about that missing submarine,
oceangate…

All them people are dead.

…and even if they are alive down there,
it’s only a matter of time before they die once the oxygen runs out.
this is a video of how far down the titanic is and where they might be:

I’ve been seeing people ask why it’s so difficult to find the submersible. The depths we’re talking about are gargantuan. #Titanic was a HUGE vessel; 882 feet, almost 50K tons with 52K tons submerged displacement. It’s 2.5 miles below the surface.

Dying in an ocean as deep as your pockets…in a vessel as tiny as the shanty houses you turned your noses up at….In a darkness as expansive as your ego…going to see the final resting place of the souls whom you disturbed with your curiosity, but they still eagerly welcomed you.

To be clear, I was not on the sub that day—I was on the ship at the surface, in the control room. They could still send short texts to the sub, but did not know where it was. It was quiet and very tense, and they shut off the ship’s internet to prevent us from tweeting.

this is the sub they are on:

…and it’s very dark and cold down there.
not only that,
the pressure might have ripped that entire submarine apart.

The nightmare fuel I’m getting if they are just sitting down there waiting to die.

*shudders*
with a 250k price tag,
they could have found something else to do.
not only that:

That is a graveyard for a ton of lost souls.

it’s like the world trade center in new yawk.
that whole area is a graveyard of all those who perished during 9/11.
at least you can get yo ass on the train and be away from there.
you can’t just leave if your ride stops working under the sea.
very sad story but a lesson to other thrill seekers who probably won’t care.

lowkey: i heard they are stuck IN the titanic.
that is fuckin’ scary.
