Titanic Submarine

[temery]

Look at the 96' Everest disaster.

And some accidents were even higher.

 

[Kolumbo]

I don't want to make light of this, but the word irony comes to mind. Define "Unsinkable"

That red button is the Implode button. Unreal.

How the hell do they have internet 2 miles under water?

Inside the missing Titanic submersible, as rescuers continue search for 5-member crew

Five people remain missing after a submersible intending to visit the site of the Titanic wreckage did not return as scheduled Sunday evening. Details have continued to emerge about the craft, which was attempting to reach the sunken ship, nearly 13,000 feet beneath the surface of the North...

This is why I keep my feet on the ground. No trips to the moon and no 20,000 leagues under the sea. Find me on the beach or the golf course or the ski slope. Real crazy.

Tell me that an educated individual would actually look at this vehicle and believe that it would survive a dive to 12, 500 feet?

Truly unbelievable!

I would imagine (without looking it up) that far more people die on ski slopes than in submersibles. Yeah, a lot more people ski - just saying - you can die anywhere doing anything.

Ya. See you on the moon. Bye.

I had to google it. Only 50 people a year die skiing. I personally knew two people who died skiing. 50 sounds way too low.

Went whitewater rafting today but that was pretty low risk. Spacetrips, air balloons, sub dives not for me.

If I had a chance to go to the moon, I'd do it in a heart beat.

LOL! Too soon?!

Do this exercise:

• put a single grain of salt on the floor, in the biggest/tallest room in your house.
• Now, imagine the floor is the seabed, and the ceiling height represents about 1/5 of the way up to the ocean surface.
• The grain of salt is the submersible, and the walls of your room, are actually miles away from you (seashores).
• the air/space around you, is all OCEAN. Vast, pitch dark, dangerously freezing, mostly empty save a few whales/squid/ghoulish deep sea creaters... ocean.

This is a ROUGH-ISH scale of what they're dealing with. absolutely horrifying.

The more I hear about this the more it freaks me out. If it didn't breach it's potentially impossible to find, no lights or power. Hoping they float up and are found or that the worst is over. Something I'd never do for love or money.

They spent $250K a pop to be locked in a tube and dropped to the bottom of the Atlantic to slowly die.

There's probably better ways to spend your money.

That’s not how they sell it in the pamphlet.

 

[champs99and04]

People might think I'm kidding, but I'd imagine one of the problems with being a billionaire is that you run out ways to thrill yourself after a while.

Regardless, the thought of any human being dying that way is deeply unsettling, and as much as I want to see the humor in it, I just can't. The thought of the passengers making banging noises from the ocean floor invokes memories of people waving towels from the top of the WTC - just completely helpless.

But once you write the check they apparently have the adventure seeker sign a (very likely worthless) waiver with a list of all the ways they might die on the trip.

Search area for lost Titanic-bound submersible deepens, doubles in size as oxygen dwindles

Rescuers on Wednesday rushed more ships and vessels to the area where a submersible disappeared on its way to the Titanic wreckage site, hoping underwater sounds they detected for a second straight day might help narrow their search in an increasingly urgent mission. Crews were scouring an area...

It’s been a few years, but I used to run a trail race called the Escarpment Run in the Catskills. The race application and waiver mentioned bees, bears, porcupines, lightning, dying of thirst and running off the side of a cliff as potential hazards and promised that you’d be bleeding from somewhere by the end.

(Bleeding happened, but in two of the four years I did it, I really thought I was going to be killed by lightning.)

Are you waivering your right to die or your heirs' right to sue after you die?
Something tells me there isn’t a lot of money to go after with this company.

Book and movie rights including full access to all workers, research notes, business records, email, etc.

This will be a movie by 2025.

The crew searching for the missing sub heard banging sounds every 30 minutes on Tuesday and again four hours later, after additional sonar devices were deployed.

There's also millions of people skiing every year. There are not millions of people going to -12,000 feet in a privately owned submarine.

Time is running out. Even if they locate it - how do they bring it up with so few hours of oxygen left?
