Expensive way to join the Titanic dead

[toddnjoyce]

What could possibly go wrong?

All these submersibles are kissing cousins to Rube Goldberg contraptions and are dependent on everything going right.

They were at 9000 feet below the surface when they lost comms. There is no way they are alive.

Today’s report says Titanc is about 5,300’ & sub lost contact around 2,500’

IMHO, I don't think the, possible , death of these people is a joking or laughing matter as some on the ^^ above post
have mentioned.
As far as we know, these people, have not been protesting, burning flags or buildings, shoplifting, saying, give me, give me, give me.

They were/are honest, hard working people out for an adventure of a life time.

Keep in mind that this is MY opinion.

Titanic sits in 12,500 of water. The tin can was 94% of the way there when contact was lost.

Shorter of breath & one day closer to death. has been how I have viewed life since I very first hear the lyrics. What could possible go wrong happens several time a mayor night to lots of folks.

What could possibly go wrong? When I use to go out drinking, hell I dad that for a good 25 years.
What could possibly go wrong? When I went offshore fishing with The Village Idiot. I even went hunting with him.
What could possibly go wrong? Going on 3 different trip to Africa hunting?
What could possibly go wrong? When AIDS came out in a big way I was still a single guy. They made it out you playing Russian Roulette every time you got jiggy with women. AIDS was damn near pandemic crap like Beer Flu.

It would have been cheaper and easier for everyone else if they had just drove into a brick wall at 100mph.

Titan submersible maker OceanGate faced safety lawsuit in 2018: "Potential danger to passengers"

Court documents show that the company fired an employee who raised concerns about the underwater vessel's design.

Titanic: They said I was unsinkable.

Sub: They said I was.

Um no.

Oops already answered.

Maybe your report was talking meters.

I wonder if there is some engineer sitting around tonight thinking, "Hey wait....are we using English or metric standards?"

There usually is.

Never had any interest in seeing something worth risking my life over especially a drowning death.
These people probably had tickets for a space ride as well.

Drowning isn't they way they're going (if they're not already dead).

If the hull breached at the depth they were at, it would've imploded instantly - they were pudding before they knew there was a problem.

If the hull didn't breach, the thing is supposed to surface if it loses power - but they're sealed inside and opening the hatch can only happen from outside. They'll die slowly of CO2 poisoning when the oxygen runs out.

Here is hoping they are still alive, that they have surfaced or will soon surface and that they will be found in time to save them. I cannot imagine what they are going through and how they are coping if still alive and unable to surface.

Yeah, I had been wondering if they were snagged on the wreck, but apparently they didn't get that deep before the problem happened.

Then again, just because that junky sub is supposed to surface if there's a problem doesn't mean it actually will. And since it was several thousand feet above the seafloor when contact was lost...well, that's a lot of area it could drift into on its way down. If that's the case, it's another piece of the Titanic's debris field now.

Supposedly they have been picking up banging sounds.

I'd much rather go out in a rocket than a cold coffin

That’s meters.

Some very rich adventurers probably have met their match. I could think of better wars to spend $250k.

IIRC, there was a "wrap that Rascal" campaign Still have the key chain if i could find it..

In this link, it is discussed how a former engineer was fired for questioning the safety of the project.

We need more Engineers (and People) willing to get fired for standing up speaking out against Non-Sense.

"The Logitech F710 controller, introduced in 2010, is a wireless dual-thumbstick gamepad for PCs that uses 2.4 GHz communications to a USB receiver. It usually sells for about $29.99 on Amazon."

Wireless. Good Lord. Anyone who ever used a Wireless computer mouse would know better.

Submarine missing near Titanic used a $30 Logitech gamepad for steering

While rescuers fear for crew, Logitech F710 PC gamepad sells out within minutes.
