I’ve been a helicopter pilot all my life but I would never have dared get into this submersible. I pray for their safe recovery.
Well put sir.
Me either. I don’t understand that mindset.
I agree, it’s quite interesting they claim we sent many men to the moon which is 500k miles round trip over 50 years ago, without many hiccups. But now we can’t find a sub that dives 2.5 miles in a documented area. I understand extreme pressure, and unpredictable currents but this just shows the true lack of our grasp on the sea. It’s the true abyss.
I never would have gotten into that thing and you couldn’t have paid me $250 Grand to do it. It’s almost like a neighbor scientist building his homemade submarine and trying to take you down 13,000 ft. Huge risk
… Especially knowing that it was a Bluetooth game controller that controlled it. Absolutely insane.
ESPECIALLY AN EXPERIMENTAL,UNCLASSED USED ONE
Imagine being a Titanic fanatic, and then, by a twist of fate, end up spending eternity with the victims of the original disaster
We must be careful as to what we wish for
Victims which were also very rich, that Astor man was the richest man in the US.
Yes they belong to History now ,forever in the Ships Embrace😥
Titanic 2: Jack Dawson’s Revenge
@anthony williamswelp….not anymore
Imagine the people trying to rescue these 5. Putting themselves in so much danger. God bless and prayers for all the families and crew for everyone’s safe return.
Prayers are useless as god is imaginary.
@power2084loser
@legendarythe adult version of Santa Claus is on the way. Lol
@power2084He could be, but if you truly follow logical thinking you would realise it’s not logical to make a statement about something you cannot prove, sorry if I was not understood, English is my 2nd language.
This only validates my claustrophobia combined with my fear of the dark and fear of the ocean. And also fear of being buried alive. It’s like the melting pot of panic attack for me just hearing about this.
Same!!!
Scary stuff. Wouldnt do it if even free.
Same thing I was thinking. ❤
You actually couldn’t pay ME 250k to go on it.
@Coast2Coast88 me freakin either!
Obviously something horribly went wrong if they didn’t even deploy the emergency signal and floaties or whatever mechanism to come to the surface.
They did deploy one emergency signal 1,5 hour after the start.
Are people even listening when they read/watch news about something?
@SusannaOceanGate deployed the emergency signal, not Titan (the submersible)
@Ky E Glad you read/watched the news lol
@SusannaFrom where did you read it. We only read that the mother ship polar prince is the one that has given an emergency signal to the coast guards. Did you get some special report or what?
@Susanna Where is Trudeau? They gave 3 “possible” names of the 5 “possible” passengers.. the thing was supposed to have a “drop weight” that would surface the vessel in the event of power loss..
Just imagine the father who brought his son along the trip, knowing for certain what awaits them..prayers to them all
They would’ve died instantly, no time for regret most likely.
Please don’t come again. Thank you my friend! No weasing the ju-uice!
@daixer3huh?
maybe the son had the idea and the father chose to go to protect him.
Oh no not the billionaire and his kid. Oh boo hoo
TERRIBLE! This must be absolutely terrifying for them. I hope they are found.
I don’t.
They were almost surely dead when the contact was lost, and never knew what killed them. It would have collapsed in milliseconds.
Whoever this dude is that’s speaking, bravo. You’re very easy to listen to and understand!
I was thinking the exact same thing
You read my mind!
He is owner of Chinese restaurant in Buffalo.
His name is Andrew Chang.
Yea its so easy to follow
I can’t even imagine being stuck in close quarters…under water… with no control for hours. It’s the most claustrophobic, helpless feeling. Hope they can find it in time…. 😢
It’s just unfathomably horrifying to me.
Imagine suffocating, because the oxygen runs out… I’d rather have it over and done with quickly. I hope they will be found alive and well though!
All of that to see a rusty piece of old ship.
They all died instantly
Just looking at that small sub is enough to send anyone’s anxiety into overdrive. I can’t imagine being locked in a room let alone in a small sub with 4 other ppl… submerged under water. How sad if they’re never found.
At this point I have read and watched so much media about this sad, scary story. CBS’s Andrew Chang’s reporting is the clearest by far, I’m an instant fan. My heart goes out to those on board. 🙏💛
Agreed. But it’s CBC. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation!
