I am heartbroken by yesterday’s shooting in Jacksonville. This act was reportedly driven by racism and hatred, carried out with a weapon of war that should never have been on the streets.
These tragedies must stop. We must renew the ban on assault weapons. It is long overdue.
It only took 18 minutes for the GOP to start eating each other. And their front runner isn’t there, and he gets arrested tomorrow. Wonderful. #GOPDebate
EPD is assisting multiple agencies searching for a missing adult male paddle boarder in Edgartown Great Pond. Please remain away from this area and allow emergency responders to perform their search.
TRAGIC TITANIC SUB NEWS:
🚨🚨🚨 MAJOR BREAKING:
The Coast Guard confirms the entire Titanic submersible crew is dead and succumbed to a catastrophic implosion of the sub.
The families of the victims have been notified.
May they Rest in Peace.
OceanGate also says in a statement that they believe ALL members of the crew are dead.
“We grieve the loss of life, they write.
Here is the entire statement.👇
“We now believe that our CEO Stockton Rush,
Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood,
Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, have
sadly been lost.
These men were true explorers who shared a
distinct spirit of adventure, and a deep passion for
exploring and protecting the world's oceans.
Our hearts are with these five souls and every member
of their families during this tragic time. We grieve
the loss of life and joy they brought to everyone
they knew.
This is an extremely sad time for our dedicated
employees who are exhausted and grieving deeply over this loss.
The entire OceanGate family is deeply grateful for the countless men and women
from multiple organizations of the international
community who expedited wide-ranging resources
and have worked so very hard on this mission. We
appreciate their commitment to finding these five explorers, and their days and nights of tireless work
in support of our crew and their families.
This is a very sad time for the entire explorer community, and for each of the family members of those lost at sea. We respectfully ask that the privacy of these families be respected during this
most painful time.”
@TheKaitster Not sure if he read the articles about there being no C02 scraper to cleanse the oxygen going in. The whole 4 day thing is a stretch because every time someone exhales they're putting C02 out which denigrates the amount of Oxygen they have.
"They're freezing cold. The water entirely surrounding the ship is at freezing or slightly below. When they exhale, their breath condenses. They're all huddled together trying to conserve their body heat. They're running low on oxygen."

CONCLUSION from an 8 hour space on the TITANIC SUB with experts and friends of the passengers:
1. Most likely scenario is that the hull of the submersible imploded due to the brittle carbon fibre material, killing all 5 passengers within milliseconds
2. The second scenario is that the sub experienced a mechanical failure, so they manually released their ballast tanks and floated up. In this scenario, they would currently be floating above water. Some points:
- This is unlikely as they should be spotted by now, even days ago, especially with all the equipment they have to be able to send out a signal.
- If this is the case, it is not good news as they only have about 1-2 hours of oxygen left, and they cannot open up the hatch from the inside, meaning if they are not found within 1-2 hours, they would suffocate despite being above water (assuming all passengers are alive, because if some died for whatever reason, then the oxygen may last longer).
3. The CEO of the company OceanGate, who is also the pilot, is a risk-taker that has cut corners, most likely to make more money by cutting costs. Multiple reports by ex-employees, the CEO himself in past interviews, and 3rd parties point to the company being frugal and cutting corners when it comes to safety, which the CEO did NOT take seriously.
This means the submersible was likely of low quality, which we can assume is what led to the implosion or the mechanical failure.
4. The last possible scenario, which is unlikely based on the facts we have, is that they are currently stuck at the Titanic wreckage or near it on the seabed. If that's the case, it would take hours to find them, and more hours to pull them out, which means they have almost zero chance of surviving.
This, while unlikely, is the MOST HARROWING scenario, as it means they've spent days in freezing temperature, and will likely end up freezing or suffocating to death. Remember, the victims include a father and a son, so I STRONGLY hope this is not the case, and thankfully facts point that it is very unlikely.
CONCLUSION: The company should be sued if the reports of lack of quality control and the apparent lies on their website are accurate. The passengers are likely dead and did NOT go through days of suffering.
I hope I'm wrong about everything and they are well and alive. Remember these are NOT my opinions, but those of a list of experts that joined our 8-hour Twitter space (link below in the comments). I've just summarized what I learned for your reference.
Side note, there is reportedly only 1.5 HOURS OF OXYGEN LEFT. I was going to continue covering the story for another 1.5 hours but unfortunately the space suddenly crashed, so apologies to everyone.
What do YOU think caused the sub to go missing?
I couldn’t be more impressed with AI. And yet this idea that it will replace lawyers in any material way any time other than long past when those today alive are dead seems to me little more than science fiction. Would be like expecting blenders to

@OceanGateExpeds WTF is this tweet? Tone-deaf two lines of text coupled with an upbeat promo video that looks like it was borrowed from one of your fundraising campaigns.
