I am sure they too cussed and used four letter slang words to express their feelings.
Titanic Submersible
- Thread starter Darts
- Start date
Regardless, that's their job. Much like recovering plane parts and bodies that have crashed into the ocean .
Who the fuck runs OceanGate, George Santos? The went cheap on the porthole and the navigation system.
Not only that, they waited 8 hrs before informing the Canadian Coast Guard who then informed the US Navy Command. Considering the time it takes the US Navy to prepare the equipment for a sunken submarine rescue attempt, that's approximately 18 hrs wasted.
So Filippo is probably right, the porthole caved and they had a quick death.

OceanGate CEO was sued by couple claiming fraud months before Titanic submarine went missing
Stockton Rush was sued by Florida couple Marc and Sharon Hagle in February after they allegedly paid more than $200,000 for a Titanic wreck expedition that never eventuated
I don't understand why anybody would pay $200,000 to see a 100 year old shipwreck? I would rather spend that money on women.
I like a thrill as much as the next guy but traveling 12000’ underwater is taking it to a whole other level!
What’s odd to me is they’re isn’t some redundant safety or communication system? Obviously there’s a ship that launched this submersible within a few miles of the coordinates? Every thing in a commercial aircraft, rocket, military sub has multiple backup’s in case something does go wrong.
For what this thing weighs you would think they’re would be an emergency air bag deployment or something to surface it if something did go wrong? Jesus cripes go low tech & have a Kevlar tether attached from the launching slip? Cripes a 25’ 30,000lb Kevlar crane sling you can lift with one finger!
Modern military subs have been in service 100+ years & still fail now & again with usually tragic results. Going 3 or 4 times deeper what even the best military subs go is playing with fire if you ask me. I’m sure a lot of engineering went into this but I can’t see any practical way of testing it. The people that went down previously in this & survived the voyage should be thanking their lucky stars!
Hope they make up before they run out of oxygen or that it didn’t implode, either way it would be a horrible death. My heart goes out to the families.

Holy shit. That sounds like my bike which is held together with chicken wires and duck (duct) tape. No wonder nobody wants to steal my bike.

I guess they were thinking, other people have made the trip to see the Titanic in the Titan and lived to tell the tale. If it made it once or twice, should be okay. My guess is there won't be another trip planned in it, if they ever do recover it.
No, we need better construction regulations for companies that build submersives.
Like they do for ships: https://www.maritime.dot.gov/ports/...e-and-education-center/shipbuilding-standards
I highly doubt anyone will get into one of these subs in the future unless there are stricter regulations
Canadians found the noises
A Canadian search plane detected noises underwater in the search area and crews were focused on finding the origin of the sounds.
"With respect to the noises, specifically, we don't know what they are, to be frank with you," Coast Guard Capt. Jamie Frederick said at a briefing Wednesday. "We're searching in the area where the noises were detected."
He said the team has two ROVs — remotely operated underwater vehicles — "actively searching," plus several more are on the way and expected to join the search operation Thursday
Best scenario they find sub on surface but as it can not be opened from inside they still would be running out of oxygen

Traveling 12000 meters under the sea without any safety precautions and signing a waiver which states that they know and agree to ride on a non certified submarine. Yes that’s a whole other level.
I will also add its Controlled by a cheap video game controller…..
