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.”
