The question posed is “Why do it”
samus12345@lemmy.world 11 months ago

Like having a good life insurance policy that pays out even if you die doing something stupid? And maybe having a fake tooth filled with cyanide so you can go out quickly instead of dying of exposure?

This isnt brave or pushing boundaries.
This is just an imbecile commiting suicide with extra steps.

I think a boroscope is an important tool he didn’t use

I think he was already fucked. His only option was to keep going in hopes there would be an opening he could use to turn around
