A top secret U.S. Navy acoustic detection system designed to spot enemy submarines first heard the Titan sub implosion hours after the submersible began its mission.
That's probably how they found the wreck so quickly.

As far as we might be concerned? I’d suggest anytime authorities advise the public not to do X because conditions are unsafe.

Don’t go on ice.
Don’t snowboard when avalanche risk.
Don’t venture into flood/fire zones
Don’t swim at X beach. Rip tides
Etc and so on.
Yes. This is true. I wasn’t thinking when specific warnings are issued and people just ignore them.

Sorry. Hard for me to think about shit I won’t personally do. A warning is there for a reason. I was just thinking of individual activities as a whole.

This is what I am saying. What is considered high risk? There are plenty of risking activities that are completely safe. And tons of completely safe activities were an accident can happen.
In the case of scuba diving, the "industry" is highly regulated, in fact by the industry itself. In order to go on a scuba dive (with master divers) or rent air tanks, you have to take training and pass a test.
Recreational divers are supervised by dive masters on all dives.

1- I have zero sympathy for people who die doing stupid shit. Arrogance caused their death-same as it did the Titanic oddly enough.

2-Why was Canada involved in the search and rescue? AFAIK The Titanic isn't in Canadian water and none of the crew were Canadian. The entire search and rescue from all countries involved should be tallied up and invoiced to the estates of the dead arrogant dummies ASAP!

The owner sounded like a woke leftie- so there's that as a silver lining.
Canada being the closest country from the wreck it falls on us to investigate through the TSB but with an American company involved and a submarine made in the US their TSB will most likely be involved


Rush was a Republican donor....I tumbled on that looking him up
Spin this one...
But seriously what does woke or left or democrat or right or close minded would have anything to do with what happened or what he deserved. He might have deserved his faith because of the lack of inspections and testing of his submarine.

There is apparently a name for this kind of activity- it’s called Adventure Tourism. For the most part, it seems to be unregulated. This is a short vid that describes this industry:

This has to be a joke.

You are going down almost 4 kilometers under the sea in a contraption controlled with play station controller?

Don't knock the Playstation controller. It's being widely adopted throughout the US military, for example. Why? Millions of young people arrive mostly pre trained in its usage having the benefit of thousands of hours of practice while playing games.

We will lose the war when we run out of batteries then.

According to secret sources talkingto the WSJ, the US Navy new the faith of the sub and its occupants four days ago. Their underwater antisubmarine monitoring equipment picked up the implosion the moment it happened. Apparently it was picked up on the IUSS listening devices. Which is not surprising as the ocean approaches to North America are littered with floating and bottom resting microphones.
I was wondering about that, yet the vessel that lowered the sub did not have sonar ?

I suspect other sonar will come forward knowing what they know now and state we heard it to but did not know what it was

I agree with comments about rich people, like they cannot give their monies to a deserving charity? THAT IS CALLED GIVING BACK OUT OF GRATITUDE. Instead they
go on some stupid adventeur they can brag and build up their ego.

I find it comical that some on this thread are criticizing the victims on how they should have spent their money in a "better way." Just a reminder that we're on a board where guys are spending hundreds of dollars an hour on SP's. Then there are those that brag that they suposedly spending thousands a month on escorts.

IMO, spending money on escorts, diving to the wreck, adventure travel, etc are all the same thing for the same reason. Just because we can and it's a thrill. The only difference is the amount of money involved.

Agreed. Just remember that the ones claiming he should've spent their money in a "better way", have NO money to spend in a better way or if they did have the money, they wouldn't spend it in the "better way".

The playstation controller appears to be one of the safest features of the vessel.
You don't need to be an expert in material science and finite elements to know that composite carbon fiber is a questionable material for compression strength.
I could not imagine that this material was used for a submersible. That is why I initially doubted the implosion theory.

" There is a billionaire somewhere on the bottom of the ocean who would trade all his money to swap places with you.

We all have something to learn from this story."

If you have money to spend on escorts then you have more disposable income that the average person. Maybe not enough to cure world hunger or clean up the oceans, but can certainly put to other uses.
