Sadly I think your right.
Forgetting the rights or wrong about going down there in the first place.
What a horrible way to die ( ok we don’t know yet )

I can't imagine what that would be like. Would your body implode on itself? My word (but I agree, it's probably better that suffocation).
While it seems crass to say, this to me, is a much better outcome than finding out they had been trapped in the dark for several days running out of oxygen.
Lucky them I guess if it was indeed the hull fracture and they died instantly? And the banging sound was after all just the postman visiting my Scouse friends mother?
If the hull (or porthole) failed, the pressure at that depth would almost immediately kill you. I hope it's not too tasteless to say, but I doubt many remains will be found.
The Vasa is stunning, I'm not sure anyone even bothers about it sinking. Well, except you.
You think? Maybe you're right. Guess it's the same for airplanes and cars, people like to look at old versions of those also. But why the worst ones that couldn't do what they were built for? The schadenfreude of it? Or is it like going to see a car crash or something?
The US Coast Guard will hold a press briefing at 3pm local time (8pm UK time) to share its latest findings from the search operation for the Titan sub.
It comes as the Coast Guard said a debris field was discovered within the search area by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) near the Titanic wreck. Experts within the unified command were evaluating the information, the Coast Guard said.

Oh definitely! Certification is most certainly a good thing.
Well a lot of people do underrate the risk of driving a car, irrationally so (when you look at the numbers).
That said, the risk multiplier here isn't getting in a submarine (accidents like these are incredibly rare with the proper design and planning). It's him cutting corners to build a submarine and conduct these sorts of missions.
You're wrong, the Swede's talk about it all the time, they're proud of everything around it, in the kind of way that they tried to achieve something and failed but ultimately almost did it.
Don't get me wrong, I've seen it but I don't get it. They've restored most of it so it's not 'old' anymore.
Probably better to go out quickly than be sitting in that container waiting to freeze to death or run out of air, while having to spend time with at least one arsehole blaming everyone the whole time.
Yeah, they've found something that confirms this is no longer a search and rescue, and now a recovery instead.
Just catching up, so the hypothesis that a structural failure and implosion is now the outcome?
People don’t give a toss about engineering quality. These are historical sites and/or represent events in human history. People take an interest in them. There’s a story behind it and an interesting one at that, and that’s what people care about.
Spread the word. People will be all ears when you tell them what they should and shouldn’t be interested in.
I've got a new business idea. I am going to open up a Submarine dive company to visit the wreckage of Titan. Only £250k each, if anyone's interested, DM me.
I've done diving but wrecks give me the willies
Time to move from current events to past events?
Some of you are incredibly sensitive people.
Agree better, from what I've heard the suffocation wouldn't be painful as you'd just pass out and eventually die. It's the time spent on board for hours and hours knowing there's a clock ticking on your likely death that is probably the most traumatic thing about it.
Looks like an implosion then. RIP, at least they went out quickly and not suffering for days
I watched the video on that link and the way guy says, it has arms and basket to put stuff in, makes it sound like the rov was being sent to the shops.
Unfortunately the Titan wasn't profitable, but you could just bolt two bathtubs together and go down in that instead? You might cover your losses then.
The owner of it said he offered it right at the start, but it took days for the agreement and paperwork
So would that mean they were dead the second they lost contact?
It’s not a competition of course, this is a pretty crappy way too go
but it’s not as terrible as the Paria Diving Tragedy, Christ that was just utterly awful
Nobody is being sensitive. It’s just a bit pompous to act like you know what people should be interested in.
I asked what the draw was, not what people should and shouldn't be interested in. I don't get it and I was hoping for some casual insight in case I'm missing something.
I still don't think debris means it has to be from the Titan though. There were so many false positives when it came to debris with the MH 370 also.
What if I told you that I was making a joke in comparing it to the failed ship?
Also, bold of you to speak for everyone that’s ever visited the Pyramids. I, for one, thought the engineering was cool.
"People don't agree with me, they're so sensitive"
I thought the same - it's obviously a rich persons dream trip kind of experience... I'd have thought 10 million a seat would be more like it. Instead it's a weeks wage for a good footballer..
People take an interest in anything with a back story or historical value. There are far, far more mundane interests on the spectrum, than shipwrecks.
Lets say 24 hours ago, they killed the owner in a fit of rage. How much extra oxygen does that buy them?
I've got an old megadrive controller you can have.
And these, jsut in case it goes tits up and you have to kill the other passengers to survive.
It's on the debris floor, not sure the significance of that but enough to hold a press conference. or it could also be the timing of the oxygen running out and their turning it into a recovery operations anyways.
I've not said anything people should or shouldn't agree with me about. There's just some old boat perverts in here who think I'm attacking them because I asked what the allure was.It was a firefighter, trying to help other people. They've abandoned the search for him. Very sad, he was doing stuff for charity.
