The saga of the Titanic Titan is quite ironic

Inside the missing Titanic submersible, as rescuers continue search for 5-member crew

Five people remain missing after a submersible intending to visit the site of the Titanic wreckage did not return as scheduled Sunday evening. Details have continued to emerge about the craft, which was attempting to reach the sunken ship, nearly 13,000 feet beneath the surface of the North...

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.

The missing Titanic tourist submersible was piloted with a video-game controller, had a water bottle for a toilet, and previously got lost for 2 ½ hours on a CBS TV segment

Though OceanGate says it worked on the vessel with NASA and Boeing, the company said it used "off-the-shelf" parts to simplify the sub's operations.

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.

 

[TheEveningChronograph]

Another Diversity, Equity and Inclusion blunder. Smdh.

I couldn't make this s*** up.

Implosion evidence confirmed today.

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.

If Celine dion can still sing we may get another blockbuster out this boys so its not all doom and gloom.

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.

 

[Giovanni SouthSide]

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.

Even if my return were guaranteed I wouldn't spend a minute in that thing.

What if the reward is to be able to tap this?

USS Anus the 'F U Money' sub.

"Jack, draw me like one of your French girls".

 

[eli77]

The irony,!

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

It's a real big f uck up and you'll be seeing plenty more this year.
