She was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis in 2014 and "reduced to being in a wheelchair." She and her husband decided to move from England to Amsterdam so she would have easier access to medicinal cannabis.
But some of her family members, including Shahzada, disapproved of her use of cannabis and they started speaking less frequently. She said that she continued to feel close to Suleman, a young man she described as thoroughly good-hearted."

But the OceanGate CEO scorned McCallumās calls for restraint, calling them a āpersonal insult.ā āWe have heard the baseless cries of āyou are going to kill someoneā way too often,ā Rush fired back, adding that he was ātired of industry players who try to use a safety argument to stop innovation.ā The implosion of Rushās submarine earlier this week killed 5 people and kicked off a desperate multinational effort to save the doomed expedition.ā |

Billionaires are off in their own fantasy land with more money than they could ever possibly need doing ridiculous things like this using money they have exploited from those working hard just to survive and yet when they are in distress it floods the news like we are all supposed to give a shit. And not only that, people's tax dollars are undoubtedly funding the efforts it took to find them.

As for the rest of them... They're a couple of billionaires that paid $250.000 to crawl into a "submarine" that seemed like it consisted of material they bought at BestBuy, was piloted by a $43 2010 video game controller, experienced multiple issues during the testing phase, wasn't approved by any instance that actually officially specializes in anything regarding submarines...and on top of that they signed a contract which included the word "death" about eight times. All that to catch a glimpse of a wreck which you also can find in hi-def on Youtube.
Not like I wanted them to die and of course it would've been better if they'd have been saved, but at the end of the day I can't help but feel like they kinda asked for it?
The ocean is majestic, but it's also absolutely terrifying. It is to be respected and not to be underestimated. When you underestimate and don't properly respect a power such as the ocean you shouldn't act surprised when bad luck befalls you. |
