The saga of the Titanic Titan is quite ironic

For those who have too busy sargeing the past few days to not hear of this ...
This disaster-tourism vessel was, just like it's alter ego, underdesigned, although it seems to not have failed in its initial voyage. And evidently, the control system is a COTS video-game controller & joystick. :eek: :eek:

I have been reading about this for the past hour or so after finishing work. My hopes are with the 5 people onboard but I'm afraid they are likely gone.

It's like finding a needle in a haystack. That plane completely disappeared - we may never end up finding the submersible.
There was a lot that could've done better.

Oh, I'm sure it's OVER for them already.

It is an experimental vessel and they signed numerous waivers. We'll see what these new noises being detected by P-3's will turn out to be.

Tragic, but also ironic. Bunch of wealth people die going to see another vessel where wealth people also perished. More money than sense.

Since the sub apparently imploded Sunday, I wonder what the banging noises the searchers heard were? Could have been anything I suppose. Anything but survivors in this case. I heard an audio recording of the noises, it was a series of fast bangs followed by slower bangs. I was thinking that if I were banging on the hull to get attention, I would bang out an SOS pattern, then they would know it was of human origin.

It's official they are all dead living proof that money doesn't buy you happiness and too much of a good thing is bad for you.

Its carbon fiber material could have been broken with repeated use and pressure according to an engineer who worked on it.
The tin can hoopty had already missioned several test runs.
The pressure caused the submersible to implode, meaning inward or opposite of explode. Enough atmospheric pressure to make a submarine implode is enough pressure to render a human body to be crushed then liquified or vaporized simultaneously.
Only visit cemeteries on land not in deep water inside a death trap.

I wonder if this is even real. Could it be some type of distraction-piece? It was a Chinese spy balloon last time.
