What genius thought this would be a great ideal? I like hearing about rich people in trouble that spend there money stupidly

[Devsman]

Well that's sad but my heart will go on

Yeah, now consider getting a spacecraft to our nearest star.

I would totally go down to see the Titanic. You could build your own submersible if you wanted to do it for cheap.

Or should we not go down there at all? The ocean ridges is where I wanna go.

[Hammer Of Evil]

yeaa... i feel bad for them, i really do.

but well, the ocean may as well be outer space in terms of danger. humans aren't meant to be in either location, and bad things happen when things go wrong.

how long has the vessel been unresponsive?

Crushing pressure.

It's got a big story and picture on CNN front page

So, even after 100+ years, this sunken iron shipwreck continue to cause deaths? 👀

They are likely already dead. If it was just a communications failure, they would have surfaced by now. The depth of the Titanic is only a few hundred feet away from the crush depth of that submersible, so it was likely crushed by the pressure.

well, they have four days to save them. they went in the drink on sunday. if the thing is still in one piece, they should be able to hook it with a big crane and yard it back up to the surface.

No problem.
When the Titanic went down it only took them seventy years to find it.
A little submarine should be too hard.

It's an overrated movie (great movie but the ship's not a world-wonder). Why tour on a sunken ship. There is no jack or anything.

pun intended?

Why the tour? Because rich people with money to burn need to have something to brag about at dinner parties.

Did some research into the Titan, the Submarine that went MIA

According to status, it can drop 3.5 miles in 1 hour, the submarine lost contact at just after 1.45 hours under which means it was well past the Midnight zone of the ocean light area, and was an entirely experimental submarine.

They reported loosing contact with the vessel about 900 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, however the trench of the Atlantic ocean is between 930 miles up to 1200 miles away from Cape Cod, meaning the submarine vanished still within the massive bay area that is this area:

https://earth.google.com/web/@41.87513605,-68.50481261,-93.38325986a,862234.77334186d,35y,-0.00000498h,11.87428744t,0r

(You'll need to copy and paste that into your link bar btw)

So either that submarine rammed itself into the seafloor due to low visibility or the submarine slammed into the trench-drop off severing its communications, either their still within that shallow light blue zone and just waiting to be saved, if not then they sank into the deeper waters and by now indeed would be dead

places were mass trauma and death accord should be considered sacred and maybe cursed
