Nice terrifying death at the bottom of the sea stupid.

It bills the trip on its carbon-fibre submersible as a "chance to step outside of everyday life and discover something truly extraordinary"

It's titanium on the outside. The interiors are carbon fiber. It has no tether and allegedly no homing beacon as well. When you dive to those depths you can't be tied to the boat because you can get tangled on the line. Lots of divers have tried to break records while diving connected to lines and gotten tangled in the ropes and have perished. So imagine getting a submarine tangled into a giant steel chain and trying to break free at thousands of feet of pitch black water.

Rumors are that this company was offering people the ability to not just view the Titanic from the outside. But that they were maneuvering the submarine into the actual wreckage. Illegally. Which is a hazard and risks destroying the ship even more than it already is. The word going around the boating industry is that they might have drive the sub into the Titanic wreckage and gotten hooked into the wreck somehow.

Aquaman will save them.

I read that the sub will auto-surface at the first sign of any technological issues. So, safe to say that sub is a goner.

Imagine dying in a submarine wreck and everyone calls you a piece of shit for ruining their memories of some gay movie.

There were also rumors that this submarine had issues on another dive and didn't automatically surface and had to be manually piloted to the surface. And when it surfaced it was far away from the mothership and had no way of communicating where they were. And they needed other ships and planes to find them.

Worse is that the sub is sealed from the outside can't be opened from the inside for safety reasons. So if they surface somewhere and aren't found in a day or two they will suffocate whilst floating on the surface. As they can't open any hatches to let in more air.

Fucking brutal. I always get anxious just thinking about being buried alive but this is even worse.

man that's one hell of a submersible

Must've been one of the Equity submarines, funster. If they lost pressure they probably died instantly.

This is an interesting watch about a nuclear sub that went down and it turns out they were still alive on the bottom pinging and slowly ran out of air and power. Ballard who found the Titanic was hired to go look for this one prior by the Navy.

Robert Ballard is a genius. He had all these ideas for finding old wrecks using his own technology and tools, but the stuff was insanely costly. He told the military that if they paid for his technology, he would loan it to them to search for old subs and ships as long as he could use it for the Titanic search. The Navy literally gave him his own fleet temporarily and it allowed him to find the Titanic using the various machines once they had found the old subs that had gone down.

Yeah he's done a lot of talks about how the Thresher and the Scorpion wreck hunts were the only reason he even found the Titanic since he looked for the debris field.

He wanted to use anti rust paint on the Titanic wreck to try slow down it being eaten by the rusticles but he never got the funding for it, funster.

He talks about it here.

The US Navy has dispatched captain Orbani to handle the situation. It's under control.

No, they didn't dispatch Captain Orbani

No, they didn't dispatch Captain Orbani

What? Am I two miles under the sea? No. Hahaha I'm not two miles under the sea!

 

[Dennyislife]

Seems they got a ping from it long after contact lost which suggests it's intact and near the wreck itself. Whoops.

 

[BillyCorgan'sFallenTree]

They wanted to see the Titanic. What they actually saw.......was Davey Jones' Locker.

 

[Stent]

Paying six figures and risking your life to see the Titanic.

You know how I know you're gay?

 

[WifeStoreWill]

I’m no oceanographer but have they considered looking on the floor next to the titanic?
