Hollywood star John Cusack says Titanic submarine loss ‘doesn’t seem tragic’
Posted June 23, 2023 by: Admin
After an extensive five-day search, the devastating news broke on Thursday that all five men aboard the submersible had tragically lost their lives in a matter of seconds, following a catastrophic implosion a mere 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic, as reported by the US Coast Guard. This heartbreaking incident sparked widespread conversations and debates on various social media platforms, prompting John, aged 56, to share his own viewpoint.
Taking to Twitter, the talented actor known for his role in “Serendipity” tweeted, “I appreciate the spirit of adventure, but when someone passes away while climbing Mount Everest, I don’t perceive it as tragic. It is undeniably sad, yes, but true tragedy, in my opinion, occurs when innocent lives are lost without any choice.”
In support of his sentiment, John also retweeted a story highlighting the extensive coverage received by the men aboard the Titanic submarine, while the news of 700 lives lost off the coast of Greece had seemingly faded into obscurity. Alongside the retweet, he added, “If only we could extend our care for all human beings as much as we do for the privileged few.”
John’s compassion was not the only celebrity response to the Titanic submarine tragedy. Cardi B, the acclaimed rapper, sternly criticized the son of billionaire passenger Hamish Harding, who had gained attention for attending a Blink-182 concert during the rescue mission. In a tweet, Cardi wrote, “The point is that the whole world is praying for the people in the submarine, and this man’s son is focused on self-promotion and inappropriate behavior. You were seeking attention all along, and nobody even knew who you were until you mentioned your stepfather! This is precisely why people hold resentment towards spoiled billionaires; you have become desensitized!”
Adding to the conversation, reality television star Bethenny Frankel shared her confusion regarding the passengers’ decision to embark on the ill-fated submarine. In a video, she humorously questioned, “Who willingly enters a submarine that isn’t Jacques Cousteau? Want to experience adventure? Have four margaritas and see what unfolds. Try on a bathing suit without your underwear. Attend Burning Man dressed as a parakeet, I don’t know! But why choose a submarine? Skydiving, riding motorcycles, swimming with sharks – these all seem like questionable ideas.”
The discovery of the remains of the Titanic submarine, shattered by a catastrophic implosion, has further deepened the tragedy. The Titan, operated by OceanGate, had set sail with five passengers onboard, intending to visit the wreckage of the Titanic approximately 435 miles off the coast of St John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. Onboard were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, French Navy veteran Paul-Henri (PH) Nargeolet, British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, and his 19-year-old son, Suleman.
