I have a close friend who worked on Long Island Medium in editing and described it as the most soul crushing experience ever. He also thought that the woman was a piece of human trash for conning people. I imagine this is quite the same.

How about let’s not judge people who are severely traumatized, nearly died, and believe they might possibly have just lost their beloved animals.

I don't think it was directed towards the man. More to herself and the traumatizing situation. She almost died. When you almost die, you aren't exactly minding your tone. I would lose my shit if my fluffy baby was drowning.

Right, because she kept saying “I’ll go down and get her.” She was in shock, in my opinion. Terror kind of does away with rational thought at the time.

I don’t think it was meant as pass/agg of an order. I think it was just shock and horror.

Yeah, my immediate reaction was “Can you at least thank the man first?!?” But if I had nearly drowned, was panicked and distressed, and my beloved dog was still in my car I have no idea how I’d act or what I’d say.

I didn’t hear it as an order. Which she couldn’t enforce, anyway. It was more like a prayer.

Totally agreed, a dog is not worth a human life. But it’s also possible that this lady was in a bit of shock and wasn’t thinking clearly. And that little dog might be her main companion in life. If the car had already sunk to the bottom and wasn’t moving, it wasn’t necessarily life threatening to reach in quickly and…

I’m assuming you’ve seen this but on the very slim chance you haven’t, I hope this will make your weekend a bit brighter :)

Also Titanic worked much better as one complete boat, rather than as two separate halves. Had they decided not to split the boat, it would have been better.

In modern times we’re a more sophisticated society (reality TV stars are always acting like the cameras aren’t recording their every move). But for early 20th century passengers...James Cameron’s presence must have been disconcerting.

I think it’s the slight little eye flare before the side glance. It’s mesmerizing.

It’s not the size of the rudder. It’s the motion of the ocean.

Counterpoint: If the captain had just pulled over and asked for directions they probably would have avoided the iceberg altogether.

Early 20th Century manspreading.

RAMP THAT SHIT

Well, they were going to the bottom of the ocean, and that’s really the core problem right there. They should have been going to a port instead.
