‘The View’ host Joy Behar blames ‘hubris’ for missing Titanic sub

nypost.com:

pointed out both the “irony” and “hubris” of the missing submersible that disappeared en route to exploring the ruins of the once-mighty Titanic. “They say that the … submersible has been certified to withstand the pressure of 4,265 feet of depth, but the Titanic wreck wreckage is 12,500 feet of depth,” Behar, 80, said in Wednesday’s episode. “So that’s a tip-off right there.“It’s interesting because the Titanic itself went down because of human incompetence and stupidity on the part of — according to the movies — hubris,” continued the host. “Same with this.

That’s the irony of it. They’re going to see the same thing that’s happening to them. It’s very sad and scary.”Several of Behar’s co-hosts jumped into her monologue to express their own thoughts. “I think there’s kind of parallels to the original Titanic fascination … It’s kind of man vs.

nature,” said Alyssa Farah Griffin, 34. “You can be the wealthiest person on the Titanic but at the end of the day, you hit an iceberg and money’s not saving you.” “We don’t know so much about the depths of the ocean.

This is what I find fascinating,” continued Griffin. “We think about sonar. We have these things that can do whatever, but there are parts we haven’t seen or explored.
