I’m (almost) always happy to talk ocean, but the flood of media requests I’m getting to talk about the ocean near this lost sub is icky. It was probably avoidable, & there are almost certainly 5 dead people in a sub that won’t be retrieved for weeks. This is not a bandwagon that should be jumped on. #ocean #sub
@helenczerski it’s the news media! 😉 Humans seem to have a high interest in disasters for a variety of reasons. What caught my attention to this event are the reports of questionable engineering decisions and a CEO who proclaimed in a tweet that if you want to be safe stay in bed. It did not strike me as a wise method of verbally minimizing of obvious danger associated with this realm.
