The Titanic

[Always Ali]

Was at the Titanic exhibition in Belfast over the weekend, very highly recommended.

Apart from Pubs, there's not a lot else to see tbh.

Loads to see if you're not on the piss (we weren't obviously) as ob has said above. Worth a trip to the Peace Wall and deffo up to the Giants Causeway (the talk on the troubles on the way was excellent even if the guide was nearly beaten up by an ex-army bloke on the tour), and seeing cows on the beach was a bit mad.

Inside the vessel

Just seen it on ITV. Looks like he built it for a hobby. No way would I have got in that!!!

 

[stonerblue]

Nope.
There’s a British billionaire, Hamish Harding, on board.

You'd never know looking at todays headlines...

TBF, ITV did say that they are aware of others on the sub, but don't have their names just yet hence why they are only mentioning the billionaire

 

[Claytop]

Only sounds to be one 'crew' member on board, the CEO. It doesn't look something that needs a crew going by the videos of it.

Unfortunately I'd be very surprised if there's a positive ending to this.

 

[mosssideblue]

Don't these sort of things have cables attached to the ship?

Would make it more dangerous that normal as could catch on structure of wreck and the current drag on it could have detrimental control of the sub

A bit harsh that. It's one thing travelling 12000 feet under the Atlantic in a self-made contraption in an attempt to win the Darwin Award for oneself but quite another convincing passengers to go with you.

& pay $250000 each apparently

Extra 0 on that

Father and Son from pakistan confirmed to be onboard

Is it true that the swimming pool is still full after all this time ?

 

[mosssideblue]

Sadly, I feel that unless the stricken vessel can surface on its own, then there is no hope for the crew surviving. Recovery operations at that depth are possible but timely.

Even if it can surface they need to be found before the oxygen runs out.
They cannot open the hatches from inside.

Agreed, but if it does manage to find the roof it ill be found almost immediately

Tragic this. And slightly crazy that the sub has such basic functionality. They don't have any idea where it is? So it could be on the surface but if they can't contact it /find it they will die of lack of oxygen as its sealed from the outside.

If it's on the surface, it would have been found as soon as it emerged. Not sure what you mean by basic functioanlity though

Got no sympathy for them. It's the price sometimes paid for having an 'adventure'.

I'm sure you will get a lot of replies to that, not many favourable

We'll see.
Anyone going on a dangerous adventure for kicks should not be surprised when or if things go wrong. Like those clowns climbing Everest or jumping out of planes for a buzz
