Through Wednesday and into Thursday, the OceanGate incident dominated social media site trends. Among many of these posts were memes , tweets and TikToks about the perceived ignorance of boarding such a voyage to begin with and making fun of the whole situation. Do you think these are in bad taste?

The search involved countless ships and planes, but unmanned submersibles held the key to any potential rescue. This is because these were among the few vessels in the world capable of operating at the harsh 12,500 feet depths which the Titan sub was likely stuck in. While the exact cost of the rescue mission is unknown, some reports suggest it will be well past $6.5 million. Some people think the money should not have been spent since the people on board knew the risks. Do you agree? Yes, they knew the risks so the money to search for them should not have been spent
