The Titanic

Just imagine that the Titanic lookout had seen the iceberg earlier, or raised the alarm quicker , the captain had slowed down, or turned the wheel in the opposite direction then the Titanic wouldn't be where it is today, the timeline would be completly different . Decisions made a hundred years ago still shaping the history of the Titanic today .

All the lessons learned from the Titanic would have been learned on a later catastrophe.

At those pressures, what happens to the human body? Apologies for being graphic. Does the human body explode,does it get squashed flat, or is it something else?

Gets crushed by the pressure or at least your organs would be, certainly wouldn't "explode" as that would suggest higher pressure inside the body.

Interesting that you say about lessons being learnt. Its a real issue in safety critical industries that some of the lessons are forgotten as experienced people leave. The drive for productivity in the private sector is not allowing time for those lessons to be learnt and understood by younger engineers and managers.
Dont know if @west didsblue has had a similar experiences, but I fear we are bound to repeat them.

It's not lessons learnt , it's not a learning thing if different decisions had been made on the Titanic then history would have gone in a different direction . Titanic would not be where it is today, nobody would be diving on it, and it possibly could have been the most talked about ship for another reason, or totally forgotten by history.

If the titanic hadn’t sank, that means the film wouldn’t have been made, which means I wouldn’t have had a very pleasant night with some lass from work who was going through a separation.

Mad how shit works.

Indeed, I may nave never fingered a bird for the first time as a young whippersnapper, under a blanket watching Titanic on DVD while she was babysitting someone.

You would have done, it just would have been Harry Potter or whatever other film was out at the time

I thought that about my own case I just mentioned but I think the romantic element of the film definitely played a part in me getting index deep.

Not really seen signs of standards slipping in the Aviation industry but I’m not as close to the safety regulation side of things as I used to be. Having said that, problems with the safety regulation process in the US was a significant contributory factor in the 737 MAX losses a few years ago. Hopefully things have been tightened up over there and they have learnt from that failure. That was an example of when a design flaw should have been picked up by the regulation process. In the past I have been involved in learning lessons from a few aircraft losses and seen new regulations brought in to address certain situations that have caused catastrophic failures. There is a well established process in place to learn from failures and implement new regulations where necessary.
 
Small mercy that the 5 victims will have suffered an instantaneous death and probably didn't suffer

Can't even begin to imagine how horrific it would have been to have been stuck on the ocean bed for 4 days in a tiny space, freezing in the pitch black waiting to suffocate to death
 
So we're told they were instructed to change the wording on their website because it wasn't clear they did not have the required certification... which apparently isn't required in international waters - the old innovater-regulator to-ing and fro-ing.
Trailblazing as an adventurer in your Heath Robinson device on your todd (if you wanna push boundaries and frontiers) is fine if you're on your jack... as a commercial sight-seeing tour, not so much
