Titanic tourist sub missing

[Cid]

I read that they had those end caps early on. I think both were found in perfect condition on the seafloor, and neither attached to anything else, having been blown clean off the body during the implosion.

Well they'll be on the same ship either way... Unless they couldn't recover them this time; they're presumably significantly heavier than the parts shown.

I think I remember reading that the difference in male life expectancy for men living in Hyndland and Camlachie was about 25 years - you could walk from one to the other in 45 minutes...

Neither is a hangout of billionaires.

 

[Cid]

Yeah that video is presumably one of the end caps.

 

[Wilf]

for discussing them in more context than ‘kill them all’,

What's wrong with that?

concertina's have end caps which can become detached with use. The more i see of this so called vessel the more i see it as an enlarged concertina without the ability to make music. Who the fuck would descend 3 miles to the ocean floor in a musical thrupenny bit?

 

[gosub]

Maybe Urban should organise a welfare fund for all the poor struggling multi millionaires Billionaires and the merely well heeled?

I think they are more time poor than anything...we could organise 'adventure holidays for em

 

[redcogs]

Aye they could all go diving to inhospitable depths in musical thrupenny bits singing the pugwash theme tune.

'Yeah, we've got a series of Risk Taking Packages available for select clients, like yourself. For the full £250k you can go Sky Diving from a mile up with one of our untested shredded parachutes. However if funds are short, for a mere £100k we can expose you to athletes foot with the Leisure Centre Changing Room Experience'.

I notice there was a Tarp over bits of the submersible when they winched it to the shore.

I expect that bit was the part the people were in and would have made the most incendiary photos.

Looks like they got most of it, should be able to piece together what happened from that I hope.

Pieces of the submersible are seen for the first time after being recovered from the Atlantic.

NEW MISSION for BILLIONAIRES

The underwater search for an alien meteor

The relics of the first interstellar meteor are thought to lie at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Last week one controversial scientist and his team claimed to have found them.

I feel for filthy rich people simply because if I was filthy minted I would be buying my own death in a full on case of manic hedonism.

Fuck thunderboats That's not living is it?

Perhaps to the surface of the sun.

I only saw the front end minus the perspex dome, skids and some thin metal sheets on the news.

Not sure the carbon fibre bit would have survived. Fibreglass is brittle and with the forces involved would probably have splintered.

It certainly wasn't.

I see what you did there.

 

[NoXion]

My impression was that the carbon fibre bit would have shattered into a million little pieces that would be extremely difficult if not impossible to find in the churning ocean. At first I thought the viewport might have survived, judging from the images on the BBC site, but then I saw the pic with the crane strap running through it; presumably the viewing port also shattered into a load of tiny shards during the implosion.

No need to go that far. Beach holidays on the sunny side of mercury

Tssk, tssk. Too hot for any water to remain, hence, no beach. I suppose people do take desert holidays.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

there is a more than 10 year disparity between the longest living postcode in Sheffield and the shortest living. That's pretty fucking significant.

In Manchester, life expectancy for men in Didsbury, a nice suburb in the south of the city is 65, for men in not very nice Newton Heath, it's 49 and a bit, so around 15 years difference in the same city.

Salvaged debris from Titan submersible contains 'presumed human remains': US Coast Guard

Debris from the submersible that catastrophically imploded while on a voyage to see the Titanic wreckage last week was brought ashore Wednesday morning.

Interestingly their website is back up - no idea why as presumably no-one would touch them with a bargepole now. At the bottom of the page is this - perhaps with a rather different meaning than they intended.

How they separate individual bits out to give to the respective families for burial isn’t going to be an easy or pleasant task

Just buy a couple of packs of mince and share it out.

They buried WW2 tank crews in shared graves when they couldn’t tell them apart.

Grim stuff.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

It’s being reported that they are ‘presumed body parts’ whatever that means.

I couldn't believe that - and I think you've conflated figures there. the 49 is "healthy life expectancy" which is different from "life expectancy". so the gap isn't quite that big - and life expectancy not quite that shockingly low!

Male Life expectancy
