News Titanic Tours Submersible missing in atlantic ocean

[El Chimpo]

I expect that the families of all involved will want the bodies to remain on the sea floor.

someone on here said he is on the spectrum or has Asperger’s or autism? I think?

Seems like some stalking allegations are coming out so something is wrong with him.

Imagine now being part of the wreck you didn’t get to see..

If it did indeed implode, then there are no bodies.

How would that work? Once someone knew where it was then how do you put that genie back in the bottle?

Because the guy who found it said that he wasn't going to tell anyone.

I assume it went something like this:

"Hi, I'm a rich guy. I'm going to need a team to help me find the Titanic. If we do, we will become even more wealthy and famous. If you want to join my team, sign here, here, and here. These are NDAs. If you tell anyone, I'll have my team of lawyers go after you. Did I mention I'm rich and can afford the best lawyers? Oh, no worries, I got a pen right here."

Sounds like they died instantly. Better than suffering from lack of oxygen and water.

 

[Volador]

Damn, apparently most likely imploded above the Titanic. At least it must’ve been quick and relatively painless, still a fucked up story.

[Bojka]

If it did implode 300 m or w/e above the Titanic then that's kind of pathetic. Because then it definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand any collision like the Russian Mir had to.

Damn. Kid didn’t even want to go but did for his father for fathers day

I haven’t read the whole thread so this might have come up already but in case it didn’t here’s some gruesome details from the Byford Dolphin accident in the 80’s. It’s not perfectly analogous to what happened in the sub but it gives you an idea of what extreme pressure can do to the human body.

https://www.todayifoundout.com/inde...t-gruesome-death-the-byford-dolphin-accident/

Byford Dolphin was a semi-submersible offshore oil rig built by Aker Engineering of Oslo in 1974. Weighing 3000 tons and manned by a crew of 100, it was capable of drilling in waters up to 460 meters in depth. To allow construction and maintenance of the wellhead at these depths, the rig was equipped with a sophisticated Saturation Diving system built by French firm COMEX. On November 5, 1983, the rig was drilling in the Frigg Gas Field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. At 4AM, British divers Edwin Coward and Roy Lucas were resting in the dive chamber while Norwegian divers Bjorn Bergersen and Truls Hellevik were returning from their shift in the transfer capsule. The capsule was hoisted from the water and docked to the dive chamber by diving tenders William Crammond and Martin Saunders, allowing Bergerson and Hellevik to climb through a short trunk to join Coward and Lucas.The normal procedure was for the divers to first seal off the trunk and isolate the chamber so the tenders could depressurize the capsule and detach it from the airlock. But before Hellevik could close the chamber hatch, William Crammond released the clamp securing the capsule to the trunk.

The results were immediately and horrific. The capsule violently decompressed and blasted away from the trunk, killing Crammond and severely injuring Saunders, while inside the chamber the pressure dropped instantaneously from 9 atmospheres to one in an instant. Hellevik, crouching in the trunk, was blown apart, scattering body parts across the rig deck. One observer described finding his liver “complete as if dissected out of the body,” while part of his spine was found 10 meters above the chamber on the rig derrick. The other divers in the chamber fared little better. Autopsies of Coward, Lucas, and Berergsen revealed lumps of white fat clogging their arteries and veins – proteins which had cooked and precipitated as their blood flash-boiled. Mercifully, all four divers are believed to have died instantly and painlessly.

Yeah huh,

They are just really really tiny…

The point may have been raised already, but if the thing plummeted into the wreckage of the Titanic and caused damage to it/made it collapse or something, is there any liability there? Destruction of a grave site/historical artifact or something? Even if it was unintentional seems like as an explorer you should bear some responsibility for it.

Yeah that's the only consoling development in all of this, that they died instantly. A friend of the men onboard says they would died in miliseconds; they wouldn't even realize what was happening.

As they were descending , as the pressure got higher and higher, wouldn't there have been sounds of the structure cracking? So wouldn't they come to the realization the vessel was going to break-up?

 

[MusterX]

I was the ONLY one of the opinion I though it imploded, they're all dead, and these 'banging' stories are deception used by the media to figure out to keep tens of millions of viewers glued to their TVs.

I'll wait for official confirmation before I gloat.

My first posts in this thread which weren't until page 9 or 10 or somewhere around there also were of the "it imploded" thought line. I mean, they didn't surface, they didn't release the ballast, they didn't release any sort of GPS transponder. It seems pretty likely the hull breached, but yea, its a sad way to go considering it was something done just because it would be "cool to see the Titanic wreckage."

The Titanic itself is corroding away to the point it could be basically gone by 2030.

There will be no sort of monument or structure to see before too long.

 

[JackWhite]

Man, I still can't get my head around them going down there in that tight of a space; inside the submarine. Thinking about that just creeps me out.

Sad that they lost their lives doing something so ill fated.

it didnt hit the titanic, it imploded approx 300meters above seabed and the debris field is 1600ft (500meters) from the titanic on a smooth flat seabed and there is no titanic debris in that area.
