The Titanic

[mexico1970]

In a nutshell? Dude goes into a cave. Falls into a hole, tried to budge and falls upside down into an 18inch wide hole.
Dude dies.

The expanded nutshell makes for a pretty good, yet hard to watch movie.

Not watching it ;)

That’ll do, upside down in an 18” hole, don’t need any further info!

Is that the one the Neil moss one in 1959?

No amount of money paid to me would be enough to get me in one of those things, same with pot holing.

I once did a glass bottom boat to Peacock Island from Benidorm, it included a small trip in a tourist submarine, I was ok in that as there was loads of room but my mate was sick as a dog due to the feeling of being “trapped”.

I’ve also been on avNuclear Sub next to the USA warship The Intrepid in dry dock in New York, it brings it home how tiny and claustrophobic the conditions are. No way I’d go to sea in one of those never mind a Tin Can that squeezes 5 people in.

Where's your sense of adventure :)

Neil Moss was Peak Cavern (and he still remains there today) - the cave is also known as Devils Arse and Neil is permanently entombed within the closed off Moss Chamber

No. 2016 film on a 2009 accident.

John Jones still remains in nutty putty, too. Entrance sealed off to prevent further accidents.

Why would they need a map. They know the co-ordinates of Titanics resting place and a hand held GPS will tell them where they are

So if you are on a cruise, are you stood on the deck holding a GPS device?

Spot on. If the bit about them having to sign waivers is true, then they must have realised there is a serious element of risk involved in the venture. Every sympathy for their loved ones who are left behind, but none for them. What's that saying; play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Well, you wouldn't need to read anything to realise that going 4000 metres down to the bottom of the ocean in an independent 22-foot vehicle, even a reinforced one, with no cable ensuring power and communication with the surface, is life threatening. Sure, it's been done before and people have lived to tell the tale.
I'm pretty sure those people are already dead. It was some sort of accident that destroyed the submersible. And they may never find it.

Just watched it like a dickhead..............fucking hell I'll never go down the blue john mines again.

I don’t have one! Self preservation is something I’m very aware of.

Anyhow, my main point was that as a 'highlight' of a trip sailing over a wreck ~4km down, with no discernible way of telling where you are, unless you are bothered enough to be constantly tracking your GPS location, you might as well be 100 miles away. Cunard doesn't mention that you 'sail' over/near the wreck of the titanic, so I imagine the vast majority of the passengers wouldn't have a clue how close they are.

I did that once crossing the Bay of Biscay, all I had on my screen was a little triangle, not a ' place of interest ' for miles.

Are you sure that wasn't Trafford mate?

Average cost of a jaunt up Everest is about $50,000

And plenty of them still die.

The Simpsons (2006)

And they showed the Dicaprio version of Titanic on TV last Tuesday night, coincidence?

4% I think I read, don't come back

 

[mancityvstoke]

Is it just me that thinks it's well spooky that the Titanic ghosts might be unhappy being a tourist attraction.

That area is to be avoided and left to Rust in peace.

A few rich people lost in a giant areosol can is deemed more newsworthy than drowned migrants.

Says it all.
