I pretty much agree with everything you said. Bungee jumping in countries where the operators have been drinking. You will never find me free-climbing El Capitan. One of the things I will NEVER do is swimming the entire length of the Amazon. Someone actually did this. There are like a million creatures that can kill you.
I won’t even swim in open water without a life jacket except fairly close to land like at a beach or a pond.
Several years after finally conquering some remaining water fear, I went on an open water swim and encountered some creatures. Came out with nasty jelly fish sting and for last 10min there was something sucking on my toe. Horrible experience.
Live coverage interview says the parts found are significant, and there are a couple of them, rear cover and landing frame, indicating "that it sounds like a catastrophic failure" was experienced. Found on the sea bed.
It clearly is over and resolved, at least in terms of no survivors, sadly.

Follow up commentary by experts saying that this would indicate a collapse of the hull, and as such it would have been instantaneous, occurring in nanoseconds, and the occupants likely didn't even know what was happening, it was so fast. Calling it an "implosion."
Still waiting official comment from the Coast Guard but that is the preliminary assessment.

You would not be a good candidate to swim the entire length of the Amazon.

10 ships and what all else is committed in this search? Too many resources.
Actual costs I get billing them for. A diversion of all the military “costs” as opposed to their 27640th training exercise? This was a better use of their time.

Saddening to hear, even if that was the most likely outcome since Sunday.

Sad news.
No. It's actually good news. We already knew that by now they were all dead. We just didn't know how they died.
The fact that they died instantly is a lot better than them sitting there for 4 days slowing running out of oxygen until they all suffocated.
