Titanic tourist sub missing

[Ax^]

can some suggest submarines to musk

It looks horrendously claustrophobic and basic inside it, so you pay $250k to them to get in that? And be bolted in there? I’m feeling mild panic just thinking about it. Nope, you’d have to pay ME more than $250k for me to agree to get in there.

Same here.

There was a piece on GMB earlier and it looks tiny.

I would have to be paid about £250k to even consider doing this.

That film on page 1 says they communicate with the sub by text.

Some kind of ping, rather than text.

I go missing for free loads of times.

but i have never woken up dead in the sea.

When my parents lived in Copenhagen they saw the bloke with the midget submarine a few times in the harbour (the one who murdered the journalist)

So just one known billionaire. The others are mere multi-millionaires. Or the son of such. The Pakistani guy is one of the richest men in Pakistan and won't declare his known wealth.

So at least we won't need graphs like these.

With emojis or without?

I’d need it multiplied by 100, plus a lot of tranquillisers - enough to be basically unconscious, and it would have to be some kind of sturdy military style vessel rather than this glorified Coke can with a fan stuck to it, and I’d need an absolute guarantee I wouldn’t be asked to look outside at the wreck. Once those conditions were all in place, I’d consider it.

Just fuck that...

Watch: Inside Titanic sub before it went missing

Filmed in 2022, OceanGate's boss Stockton Rush gave a glimpse into the small vessel that travels to the Titanic wreck.

I know it's a couple of miles down now, but how far was it , between where it started it's descent to the site of the wreck?
Just trying to gauge the size of the area they'd need to search.

I'm kind of assuming it's not a massive area, as it was only meant to be a tourist trip type of excursion.

If there's no radio signal underwater, why can't they just attach a bright , orange buoy to that specific sub before descent, on a REALLY long piece of rope, so it just bobs along above them?
Well it could get snagged on something, but there must be a better reason.

Jesus fucking christ, it looks right Heath Robinson, I wouldn't go to the shops in that, let alone the depths of the ocean.

Indeed. I wouldn’t get in it on dry land, never mind go 370 miles out to sea and then as deep as the Titanic in it!

Uses Elon Musk's Starlink for comms apparently, please let it be his fault somehow.

“Mike Reiss, who travelled to see the Titanic on a submersible that has now gone missing, says it is "remarkable" how basic and simple the whole operation is.

…adding he had to sign a waiver beforehand that mentioned death three different times on the first page.”

I wouldn't wish it on anyone - but look at the news coverage about this and the effort and money being expended on trying to rescue a small handful of rich white people, when weekly there is a death toll of people fleeing oppression in unsafe situations at sea.

Why do you keep assuming the race of these rich people? 2 of the 5 people on board are from Pakistan.

So do the AFU

I wouldn’t drive that down the canal, it looks like the sort of shanty boat that you see eccentric (or more truthfully) skint and desperate folks throw together on the River Lea. And it appears to have the same fate.

Because you can’t easily get a 4km long rope?

Ropes R Us ?

Can you imagine how much that would weigh? Then make it wet...

 

[Pickman's model]

Because you can’t easily get a 4km long rope?

well, you can. but not hundreds of miles from land. not to mention that it's a devil of a thing to guide down 2-3 miles under water

 

[clicker]

OK forget rope. How about heavy duty fishing line or linked plastic cable?

you'd more want a chain really

I was at a museum some years ago and you could go into an old French naval submarine for a look. (IIRC, it was in a dry dock.)

I lasted about five minutes before I had to get out of there. I'm not super tall (about 5'6) and it felt tiny. And there had been loads of people living and working in there for months on end. Shudder.

Piloted using a logitech gamepad, fuck me.

whose, his or theirs?

it's that sort of disparagement of initiative that's got this country where it is

A chain is the length of a cricket wicket, would need a few chains of rope to reach the Titanic.
