News Titanic Tours Submersible missing in atlantic ocean

if the submersible lost pressure then that's instant death for everyone. If it sprung even a TINY leak then it's death for everyone. The water will come in at enormous pressure and simply probably cut any steel in it's path = sayonara for everyone.

more likely they had a total power failure or mechanical failure.
vehicle is rated for 96hrs oxygen for 5 people so they have maybe approx 2 days left... (as of now) assuming that ALL FIVE are still alive.
There is NO transferring people to another vehicle at those depths, nope.

issue i'd imagine is.....when they find it they HAVE to bring it up via a tow or via cables and i just don't know if they have another vehicle rated to go that deep etc to tow it back up (assuming it is still watertight).

Honestly i don't hold out much hope for them, being slightly fatalistic.
The Sea can be very unforgiving and ....given the location you have to say grimly ironic.

Final comment.... I find it personally inappropriate for any company to be making money off of an absolute tragedy that the Titanic sinking was. (ok the movie...that happened but i feel like Cameron did it to partly to honor the ship and it's lost souls).
1,500 men and women and children died that night and nobody should be charging random tourists vast sums to see it. Just my view on that.

Have respect for the dead, it should not be a tourist attraction for rich folk.
 
How many ours before you all decide which one of you is going to be the fuck sock?
(Assuming one hasn’t already been eaten yet)
 
It actually looks pretty cool

The article said that it is scientists running it to help raise money for more scientific research. I don't have a problem with that.

I think I read somewhere that they have 96 hours worth of oxygen or something.

They have 96 hours of something.

yeah but they're now 1.5days in.....so now down to maybe 60hrs remaining. IF they're still all currently alive. (big assumption).
 
Yea and ppl complain about big game hunting. Yet none of these tree huggers actually do anything for conservation. It's the hunters doing that. The ppl tree huggers hate.

it's all a sick joke.

yeh if this was a war boat it would be classed as a war grave and no one would be allowed near it. Curious the Titanic isn't.
 
Can't think of anyone apart from the US and Canadian navies who can attempt an emergency rescue that is also close to the wreck.

Looks like they started in May 2021.

In 2022, CBS reporter David Pogue ventured on the Titan to see the Titanic—he had to sign a waiver before diving that said the submersible was “experimental” and “had not been approved by any regulatory body.”

Inside, the 22-foot-long submersible is about the size of a minivan, Pogue reported, and has a single porthole at one end through which passengers can view the wreckage.

The Titan is operated from the inside by a single round button that turns from red to green when pushed: “It should be like an elevator,” CEO Stockton Rush told Pogue in 2022, adding: “It shouldn’t take a lot of skill.”

Later in the video, Rush points to some piping inside the vessel saying he purchased it from RV supplier Camping World, and says “we run the whole thing” using a video game controller—Pogue also shows the vessel uses construction pipes as ballast.

Rush clarifies the pressure vessel, which maintains pressure and air quality to sustain human life miles under the sea, is “not macgyvered at all” and is developed with the help of Boeing and NASA.

2nd to last paragraph makes this vessel sound janky as eff.

It has 96 hours of backup power so even if they eventually die they're probably still alive right now.

Only 1 of the people onboard is a billionaire.

In terms of the weird religious shit at the end peoples personal beleifs shouldn't be able to dictate historical research. Studies show 100% of people die. Everyone who died in 1912 would be long gone by now there's nothing wrong with being interested in historical events with casualties. Also in a physical sense Titanic was never really a "grave site". At most there were a few dozen bodies on board the day the wreck got there. Most people were not in the Titanic when it sank.
