Apparently the guy who owns and made this submarine is literally against safety precautions.

What do you mean your naval vessel doesn't have an emergency beacon!?!?!?!?!
“You know, there’s a limit,” he told the broadcaster. “At some point, safety is just pure waste. I mean if you don’t just want to be safe, don’t get out of bed. Don’t get in your car. Don’t do anything. At some point, you’re going to take some risk and it really is a risk-reward question. I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules.”
Sir I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of life
So I was watching DBZ season 3 yesterday, and man do I have some thoughts about the Saiyans and their demise at the hands of Frieza. We know that the Saiyans weren't exactly good people. Even before working under Frieza, they destroyed other races and conquered planets. They were pretty much seen as the strongest beings to ever exist, until Frieza shows up and goes "lol nah you guys are nothing in comparison to me, you're all a bunch of monkeys!". Suddenly, the Saiyans weren't the strongest in the universe anymore. They no longer had the ability to do as they pleased. They now had to work for someone who they didn't like, and feared that person because they knew he could kill them all in the blink of an eye. Which is eventually what ends up happening.
Honestly, I couldn't help but feel somewhat sorry for them. They were terrible beings who went around killing other living beings in space, and that didn't stop once they were under Frieza's control. They did it for profit. And what's more, they enjoyed it. But you can see that after a while, they don't want to be stuck under Frieza's thumb anymore. So they rebel.
Now obviously, the rebellion wasn't going to work. None of them were strong enough to defeat Frieza. But they still tried to anyway. And they died doing it. In a fucked up way, it was poetic justice: after killing who knows how many life forms, they finally got what was coming to them. In the form of someone who was far worse than them. Then, we get to this guy:
Watching Vegeta be killed by Frieza never fails to make me sad, as well as give me a bunch of mixed emotions. Because on the one hand, it felt like Vegeta, much like his people, got what was coming to him after all of the terrible things he did. But on the other hand? When you really think about it, Vegeta was a victim of circumstances from the time he was a child. He basically had no choice but to do whatever he was told. Does it excuse his actions? No, but at the very least it makes you somewhat understand who Vegeta is.
Watching him fight Frieza was something else, because he goes from being overly confident to being scared shitless with each one of Frieza's transformations.
It was karmic justice in a way, but it was so damn brutal. Seeing Vegeta just go from being confident in himself to being terrified of Frieza's power and watching Frieza having fun beating the shit out of Vegeta and slowly killing him. Then finally at the end, we see Vegeta just...breakdown in tears. Telling Goku about what Frieza did to their fathers, as well as the entire Saiyan race. Pleading with Goku to destroy Frieza and get revenge for them all.
It was just a very sad moment that I think was really well done. Because it pulls off something that at this point, most of us probably never even thought of being possible, given everything that he did. It makes you actually feel sorry for Vegeta, as well as the Saiyan race.
