The Titanic

Is this like the transfer forum where you're counting down for fuck sake.

At least no-one has started tracking flights.

Yet.

I'm techy enough to know that GPS doesn't work 2 miles underwater
But could have one on a 2 mile length of fishing line with a floating thingy

I actually hurt from laughing so much at this back and forth :)

It will have been a millisecond if the sub just imploded.

Better that, than waiting for the oxygen to go.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I think that may well have been their fate . But surely some wreckage would have reached the surface by now .

The thing is, any wreckage that comes up from 2 1/2 mile deep will be subjust to alsorts of currents and could be miles away by the time it surfaces

Too soon?

Never hear of billionaires dying in a Ryanair crash, it's always helicopters , private planes and now too small submersibles. And that's why I only fly budget airlines!

Do these things not have gas fillable floatation devices and umbilicle cords.

Something a bit fishy this story. Just the tip of the iceberg.

£195k for an 8 day trip, yikes.

I paid about that for 2 days in Istanbul

Has no-one thought of contacting Thunderbirds?

Gordon Tracy would have T4 down there in minutes.

Too damn right, that's like someone saying that they had no sympathy for the 257 people (20 were crew) who died on board the DC-10 in 1979 in the Antarctic. All those people wanted to see was a once in a lifetime sight and have an adventure, but someone at Air New Zealand changed the flight co-ordinates without informing the pilots, only to end up flying into a mountain known as Mt Erebus, when they thought they were flying over McCurdo Sound. The video taken by a passenger of people walking round the plane having drinks and taking photos out of the windows 5-10 minutes before impact is one of the most errie and heartbreaking things I've ever seen. There is even video footage that is slown down of the explosion and flames, before what looks like jet oil on the windows.

As for hoping those people on the Titanic sub having a quick and unexpected death, I hope it was too, what a horrible and tragic way to go. It was the same for those on flight 901, they were all happy unaware of what was going on within the flight deck. I hope they went into some sort of black out period, meaning they wouldn't have felt any pain. They're not going to make it, I just cannot see it happening:(.

RIP to both parties.

Watched this during lockdown on Amazon Prime on the Mt Erebus disaster. An interesting watch.

I’ve been reading stuff like this all day and I can’t wrap my head around it. How can somebody bring this information to light publicly and the whole thing just get settled out of court and the business allowed to continue? Without any kind of intervention by government bodies or regulators?

“Oh, your submersible is almost certain to kill your passengers but as long as you’ve paid off the guy who inspected it then it’s not a problem.”

I know they don’t like regulation in the US but this seems absurd.

If they press A and B simultaneously…

L1+L2+R1+R2+Start+Select, resets back to the beginning, probably their best bet at this stage.
