It actually looks pretty cool

The article says the interior is the size of a minivan and there is one porthole.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

yes and the portholes name was Rose

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.

They have tours of Auschwitz. When I visited Cambodia in 2007 I toured the Killing Fields. I don’t see any reason for the Titanic to be off limits.

I agree with this.
However I did a tour there with 20 lads in 2018 followed by Tuol Sleng prison. 4-5 guys tapped out in the first ten minutes.
I can appreciate that it is not for everyone.

I wouldn't get on this submarine to go all the way down to the Titanic if they paid me 250k

Somebody made a thread about a woman saving up her entire life to finally go down and see it. Her entire life’s dream was to look at an old sunken ship. These Titanic fanatics are out there.

Ever been to Pearl Harbor?

Fair enough but I assume they've recovered all the bodies from that

At least 900 still down there

https://speccoll.library.arizona.ed...attack, the ship,crewmen remained in the ship.

If he wasnt a billionaire there would be no rescue attempt.

 

[Spounman]

What a nightmare

 

[Fedorgasm]

I read that they have 60 hours of air. So they still got time to be rescued.

Even more if one person kills everyone else to make the air last longer.

You don't become rich by thinking of others

 

[Yoel Bromero]

5 people in there for 8 hours. It must smell awful by the time they open they door on that can of farts.

RIP

 

[MarloStanfield]

Damn. Sending prayers to them and their loved ones. Sounds like a great experience assuming you don't die

Not sure prayers are going to cut it this time

 

[GearSolidMetal]

I wonder if they hit an iceberg.

Regardless, my heart will go on.

Theirs won't, but mine will.


And if you think saying that is cold hearted - No, their hearts are cold. Permanently.

 

[TheWobbler]

No way were they using that thing to control it lol

They may as well call off the search if they don't have anything to get down there to even start a rescue.

 

[KnightTemplar]

The tour costs $250k because you get a historically accurate Titanic experience down to every detail, it even ends in the same way as the original.

It hasn't necessarily sank from what the experts say (and what us laymen would assume). It could be on the surface or anywhere from surface to ocean floor.

Probably had a haywire turbo mode experience on the descent control button lol.

Good for beating bosses but not so much when your life is at stake

Listen hun, I’ve been obsessed with the Titanic since I was a wee one. Also from Nova Scotia, so got the ocean in my veins.

But I’ma tell you right now, for all the money in the world I’d never hop on in a submarine and go scout that wreckage out. That’s dimwit hours right there. Don’t fuck with the ocean, don’t go testing fate like that, and especially not in a shoddy ass tin can like these twats hopped into.
