News & Events Missing Titanic tourist submarine

[Cyber_punk]

These people are getting no sympathy from the internet that is for sure.

There's a few other wealthy dolts like Piss Morgan calling them 'heroes' for 'exploring' (as if nobody has done it decades prior).

Going for a joyride to an old grave site doesn't make you a hero.

You'd imagine deep vein thrombosis is also a huge risk for them too.

So, you're on a submersible called the Titan, going to "see" the Titanic with someone on board who's married to a defendant of a passenger who lost their life on the Titanic - surely nothing was going to go wrong when adding all those this together

the vaccine makes you think that

the vaccine makes you think that

Bill Gates makes you think that, via the 5G in the vaccine.

Recovery, not rescue.

Not sure that warrants the millions it will cost but sure.

With billionaires and insurance companies involved it's small change, the exact circumstances will be litigated

Why would hypothermia kick in now? The oxygen issue makes sense to me but hypothermia has me a little confused.

 

[phantom13]

Whichever. Not the central point.

It is though.

Spend the money on a rescue mission, lives and experience.

Recovery mission is literally millions of dollars for a litter pick up. It’s pointless.

well its extremely cold down there and I have no idea how heated the sub is but they have limited battery life either way

No.

The point of my post was, rescue or salvage, training and experience is valuable.

For doing things like picking apart Russian subs on the ocean floor.

I guess they wouldn't need the battery for any longer than what they expect the oxygen levels to last.

No.

And the point of my original post is that the cost massively outweighs the benefits for recovery. So respectfully I disagree.

Oh I don't know people working out that rich people aren't any less stupid than anyone else is probably a good idea.

Between this and Elon's shit show on twitter the idea that they're better than the rest of us it starting to come unstuck

Given how miserable most of our lives are because of billionaires a little celebration isn't that bad an idea

nevermind that gallows humor is nothing new

 

[faible]

Given how miserable most of our lives are

I mean, in Australia not really. Some perspective is always good.

Still can't fathom that they were even allowed to use this craft, with many people now coming out with their stories, why was this company not investigated. It's not like they were running this anonymously.

The window wasn’t even rated for that depth and they still went ahead

Absolute stupidity all around

 

[Strange Cat]

well its extremely cold down there and I have no idea how heated the sub is but they have limited battery life either way

I think the worse bit would be the lack of space, oxygen, no food or water and everyone sharing the same space as the toilet with the open fumes

Would be a helish way to go out in that tin coffin in the dark 4km under the ocean

Well worth the $250,000 cost

Just one example of big Jim’s attention to detail and knowledge of his shit.

I saw an article on Reddit that they fired the engineer who told them that the window and bull was only rated for a 1300m dive , resulted in them not only firing the person but ignoring the advice

“Lochridge filed a compulsory counterclaim where he alleged wrongful termination over being a whistleblower about the quality and safety of the submersible.”

“Lochridge was met with hostility and denial of access to the necessary documentation that should have been freely available as part of his inspection process.”

Missing Titanic Sub Once Faced Massive Lawsuit Over Depths It Could Safely Travel To

Court documents reveal a former OceanGate employee had several safety complaints over the tourist submersible—and then he was fired.
