At The Bottom Of The Sea... (OceanGate Sub Implosion)

Anyone watching the OceanGate sub documentary? There's one on Max/Discovery and a new one on Netflix but they both pretty much tell the same story. Even my homeboy Josh Gates did an episode of his adventure show on the sub and talked to Stockton Rush about how it was all going. Josh had to go to Discovery brass and tell them to not air the episode because he felt it was dangerous to promote this guy and that he thought people were going to get hurt. Boy was he right. Everyone around him with a brain and an ounce of courage told him it was gonna fail and kill people and he fired them or they quit because they didn't want to be responsible for killing people. Holy shit what a dick that guy was.

Anyone who didn't kiss his ass he fired. And then he was crushed to death in his little stupid submarine.

Stockton Rush: Certified asshole
I wrote some lyrics about this after it happened.

You paid to see

 Where the wealthy lay deceased

...At the bottom of the sea 


I find it hard to think

 This was a tragedy

...At the bottom of the sea. 


People struggle to be 

While you struggled to breathe

...At the bottom of the sea. 


You built a submarine 

Ignored their expertise 

Now you're dead.

Crushed to death.

...At the bottom of the sea.  


Just a tarnished legacy

and a pile of debris

...At the bottom of the sea.


It sucks those innocent people fell for his bullshit and died but fuck that Stockton Rush and people like him forever.
Almost like an allegory for what's happening in the White House... just a matter of how many of us he takes down in his death submarine.
