 Rest in Peace Samuele Landi: Pioneer on the Indian Ocean Seastead, now at the bottom of the sea

Tragic, horrible news, everyone.

The most daring seasteading venture to date now lies at the bottom of the Indian Ocean with it's owner, Samuele Landi, and two others lost to the sea, presumed dead. According to Oswald, the documentarian we have spoken with here on this board before, a massive storm on Feb 2nd split the barge in two parts and submerged it, taking 3 lives including Landi's with it.

Oswald has already made this mini-doc addressing it:

Samuele will be remembered as a seasteading pioneer, and hopefully serve as a seassteader's cautionary tale for us to use overcome, not shy away from, building on the open sea. Rest in peace, friend.
