The Titanic

[mosssideblue]

Yeah, I get that, but unless a passenger on board a cross Atlantic cruise is standing with some map showing coordinates, they will have no idea if they are 'passing' the wreck site or not. Not like there is a signpost in the middle of the ocean.

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

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.

I went on HMS Conqueror in the Falklands it was in dock and wasn’t underwater, absolutely no way you could pay me enough to go on that for 3 months, it takes a special kind of person to serve on subs.

You think people actually read waivers that are put in front of them?!

Well then; that's down to them, isn't it? If you sign something without reading it, that really is stupid.

I remember having my arms held as a kid and it was one of the worst experiences I have ever felt.

Whatever you do dont watch the thing @LangleyBlue1970 told me to watch on nutty putty cave. I was daft enough to watch the YouTube video on it before I went to bed. Had nightmares all last night.

As someone who has worked for nearly 40 years on products where safety is designed in from the outset and where every aspect of the safety of the product is highly regulated requiring certification by independent authorities following very strict testing to agreed standards, the idea of jumping in a home made tin can that has not undergone any level of safety certification would be an absolute non-starter. I feel sorry for the 19 year old lad in there. The rest of them should have known better.

I used to know a bookmaker called Ian Mchamish (Macs) in Easingwold. He was caught fiddling his HMRC taxes and given a Custodial Sentence. He had been a submariner in the Navy for many years, he said serving his sentence in an Open prison had been a holiday compared to being on subs.

It certainly is a tough watch.

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

In fairness to @BlueHammer85, he did say 5,000 feet not Everest!

I got as far as “ be warned not for those who suffer from claustrophobia” in a nutshell what happened so I don’t have to watch?

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.
