I would rather run out of oxigen but have a slim chance of survival...

That would just be cruel, their chances of survival would be as small as finding a needle in a haystack just suffering at the mercy of time. They did not notice or feel a thing when they died, it was just lights off and as quick as a blink of an eye.

And to think they didn't even make it to the Titanic. It's just a sad story all the way around. I really question the mentality of people; I'd never have gotten in something like that.

 

I understand the fascination with the Titanic; but I feel like going to the wreckage, at this point, is just disrespectfully unnecessary. It's not as if people are going down there to pay their respects to those who lost their lives. Let it rest; let the souls there rest.

James Cameron was able to go down 33 times, and on one of those times he got stuck for 16 hours, and yet still returned safely.

It just goes to show how you cannot cut corners when it comes to safety for these expeditions. The subs that James Cameron used for his Titanic dives (Russian Mir) and the Challenger Deep (Deepsea Challenger) were state of the art and beyond equipped to dive to the depths that they were used for. The Mir submersibles could reach 6k meters underwater and the Deepsea Challenger literally went to the bottom of the Mariana trench. Both of those had backups for backups for backups.

Damn

I consider myself a super anxious person, and if my dad had asked me to do this, I would have told him never in a million years. How tragic!

I think it depends on the kind of relationship you have with your father, if you're able to resist doing what he wants without feeling like you're going to ruin the relationship and make him angry/disappointed. They left on Father's Day, after all. We don't know the dynamic between the father and son. I have my own assumptions, based partly on the dad being a billionaire, but I don't know either. 

 

Powerful statement from the aunt. I feel really bad for her, especially knowing her nephew was terrified and didn't want to go, and that her own brother acted so irresponsibly with the life of that child. This didn't have to happen like this, which is what makes it so upsetting. 

 

I hope at least something decent comes out of this, like legal and financial consequences for the company, and stricter regulations on these kinds of vessels and expeditions.

I can’t at some of you honestly thinking that if the craft had not imploded there would be chances of rescue. 
 

It took 5 days to find the debris field. It would take that long  plus an unknown amount of to figure how to get the sub off the ocean floor. 
 

if they were stuck and we found them all it would accomplish is literally nothing we would sit and watch knowing they are dying and we can’t get to them fast enough to rescue.

From the damage , it definitely imploded due to the pressurization failing which would killed them even before they knew anything was wrong .

I doubt there are any bodies left to be recovered after an implosion that far down.

It’s best case scenario. If they found them, there was no way of bringing them up. Imagine that

The pressure of the water would have pulverized anything down there. They would have turned into dust particles floating around in the water. There's nothing to recover.

At least now there's no point making a movie.

 

It probably felt like they just teleported

[Relampago.]

RIP the passengers but I kind of have to laugh at the moral grandstanding in here towards people laughing about this situation when that billionaire’s son was using his situation to flirt with onlyfans girls and attend concerts

 

I don’t personally like to make comments about the dead usually but if someone’s son serves that (morally right or wrong) the holier than thous in here should relax a touch

[BeenTheShit]

Reports are now saying the US Navy detected the subs implosion on Sunday the very moment it happened.  So basically this should've been a recovery mission from the start and not a rescue.

The stepson was probably asked to come along but he was smart. It's always the mean ones who survive. The son of the businessman probably wanted an outing with his father and was easy going. It just goes to show what kind of person you need to be to survive in this world.

Okay but this is slightly a kiii

 

”y’all hear somethin’? ” and then three different countries waste millions on a search and rescue mission

What?  There are still going to be tons of movies and documentaries on this.  People's minds went absolutely wild so the possibilities are endless.

[Pikachoo]

what was the difference between this sub and the one James Cameron used?

bro went down there 33 times..  

 

 

so, this tour to the titanic is not a new thing? but this oceangate one is the only known one that ended tragically?  

Oceangate was probably the cheapest option. You would be surprised how many wealthy people are actually really cheap. There was an incident not too long ago where a private jet hit a mountain because of the cabin system failing causing everyone onboard to pass out. I wouldn't be surprised if the jet was faulty to begin with and bought at auction so that the wealthy person buying it could save a few bucks.

[Sergi91]

the US Navy is a mess for gatekeeping the information.

documentaries maybe..

 

movies ?? hell no. if they were trapped and rescued, it would have been the story of the year and a guaranteed #1 box office smash telling how they fought for survival and then got to make it home to their families. What kind of movie will they make now seeing as it literally imploded and they never got to their destination and all of the searching/hoping was all for nothing. Sounds like the absolute worst movie of all time to me...

The audacity of the Pakistani man to allow his son to go with him

I mean RIP to everyone but that REALLY rubbed me the wrong way, I did not know a child was on board. Yes 19 is a child.
