They wanted the titanic experience, and tbf they got it.

sounds callous, but why the fuck would you even try it when it was imposible and though no death is wanted, they knew the risk and didn't care.If I climbed a ladder 30 foot high to fix my gutter even though H&S wise it is nuts and fell off and died no **** would care, why should people care that they ignore obvious risks because they are rich

What a strange take. I'd imagine there are many people who climb ladders to fix guttering and I like to think some degree of sympathy and compassion would be afforded them if they fell to their death. Or are you telling me you'd expect your neighbours to just shrug their shoulders and go "meh, he knew the risks"? Your analogy is akin to not having sympathy for someone killed in a motorway collision because there are risks inherent in high speed driving.

huh?

trust me if I fall off a ladder I won't make the 6 o'clock new, which was the relevent and entire point or that sentence about my gutter.

what you are on about I have no idea

You're right, you wouldn't make the six o'clock news. But this did, primarily because it involved the titanic, which many have a morbid fascination with, and also because there was a real chance the people on board were about to suffer an agonising death. It was always going to be headline news. You suggested people wouldn't be bothered if you fell to your death from a ladder, which is nonsensical. Because the people close to you would surely be cut up.

I would like to think that you would simply deploy your trusty Hedgehog Gutter Brush solution and so avoid any ladder-related calamity.
