The Titanic

[Dubai Blue]

How complex is this search? I havent hear anything about how complex it is.

About as complex as a search could possibly get on this planet.

Had they fitted it out with a release clause Txiki could have found it already.

We're sailing across the Atlantic to New York on Friday and are meant to pass where the Titanic sank, sometime next week.

I'm taking my binoculars so can hopefully help with the search...

I'm wondering whether we'll have to divert around the search area, even in a weeks time if they are still trying to find the sub, obviously with no survivors on board. Ugh, it's awful.

By the sounds of the previous expeditions, they’d lost contact for hours at a time before so it might not have rung alarm bells until the seventh hour.

An alarm bell might have been a good thing

They are not going to find this sadly. Just have to hope that it did have a catastrophic end and it was quick for them. The alternative is just hideous.

You won’t know if you “divert”; this isn’t a set of 4-way temporary traffic lights on Princess Parkway

Sadly I think it will be over long before then :-(

Obviously. It's The Queen Mary 2 sailing the Atlantic. No cars or streets anywhere thankfully...

Part of the journey is passing over or near to the Titanic though apparently, so I'm guessing we could end up sailing quite a distance away if there's still a massive search area that doesn't allow us to pass by a highlight of the trip.

I am getting rather annoyed at many of the media and news outlets about this. They are asking very inane rubbish. One chap who cancelled due to safety concerns has to be the moderator of his interview himself. The news anchor asking questions like "Tell me about Hamish because you are his friend".

It seems largely unimportant at this time what he damn personality is like. All focus should be on extracting expert opinion on the logistics and technical issues we need to overcome in a short time frame to effect rescue. The guy they were interviewing said as much and essentially put the news anchor straight.

We wan't to know if we could attach emergency oxygen to the damn thing or can we get a winch on it or something. Anything pertinent we want to know, not if one of them is good value at a bloody party etc.

If by some miracle the sub is found, and with all the guys alive...it's gonna make one heck of a movie.

It's actually an Xbox controller not playstation.

Ireland..keep quiet..if Harland & Wolfe did a better job we would not be facing this crisis ;-)

As the wee docker is reported to have said.... 'nothing wrong with her when she left Belfast'

It's a 22-foot long object in an area the size of Wales. Could be “close” to the Titanic. Could have been taken far away from it by deep sea currents. Oh and it's under many millions of tons of water.

The media know it popcorn material - the Mail have got back to back articles with expert opinions of anybody that has ever been in contact with water.

Jesus wept, some people are just plain horrible.

Was really disappointed in that particular post

 

[Blue and true]

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

Got no sympathy for five people about to suffocate at the bottom of the Atlantic. What a wonderful person you are. I pray to God none of your loved ones ever have to endure such horror.

Not sure what battery life they have, but hypothermia could be what kills the poor souls onboard
