The titanic vol. lost

[gry60]

To be clear - are you talking about just Stockton Rush or Stockton Rush and the passengers? I think it’s the former but I would just like to clarify.

Stockton Rush only.

Again, it is his entire fault the passengers are down there with him. It is not reasonable to expect them to know what it would take to conduct such a dangerous feat. I hope their families sue him and take whatever's left of Rush's company.

Once you’re on the ocean

I don’t want to believe they just kicked the tires and called it a day.

Everything I’ve read so far points to that being the case. Dude was like “seems fine, let’s go”

This was his safety check

The memes are crazy right now, B. We’re all going to hell in a hand basket.

I read he got somewhere between $20-30MM from investors and it was valued at $66MM. There can’t be much left, unfortunately. But I agree that he should be sucked dry of everything (PAUSE)

^Dude makes a great point, for all that money just send an unmanned craft down there since you’re not actually laying eyes on it anyway. Still watching it on a screen.

I’m over here thinking they have some kind of window on that thing

I understand the sentiment but seeing what was down there on the screen isn’t what this was about. It was about saying you were down there and were XX feet away and could see it. Maybe I’m not adventurous enough but even if money wasn’t an option, the whole premise of this voyage doesn’t interest me at all.

Yeah I share that same sentiment. Zero interest in that bs. Even if the mission was a success and they decided to broadcast the recordings of it I might pass on that to watch the draft of something

the sub interior legit looks like a drainage pipe

Dudes spending a quarter billy to go to probably the scariest place on earth in a glorified sardine can.

So was this essentially Fyre Fest: Titanic Edition?

Dr Ledez also says "hyperthermia could be their friend".

"There is a possibility if they cool down enough and lose conscience they could live through it... The heart beat can be really slow when cold," he said.

Let’s say they found them right now. Or at least determined their location. How long does it take to get that thing to the surface if it has no power? I thought that It can’t just surface immediately because of the pressure?

2 hours down 2 hours up.

Not sure about any quicker, or how the flotation efforts on board affect that.

It's ~2 hour trip each time going and coming from the Titanic wreck site.

Also you can't fast track the submersible rising due to the bends like picasso swerve previously mentioned.

 

[blacklion23]

Yooo how they already got a doc hot and ready!?

 

[spizike231]

Dummies.

Netflix waiting in the cut for these dukes to come out alive to make a real documentary and make $$$$ lol

 

[shogun]

That's not even a documentary, just a news special that will air too long.

rich people are just dumb and bored with life i swear. give me a quarter of a billion and ill travel the world, do drugs, and smash chicks instead of diving into the trenches in trash can

 

[doublemesh96]

Not even saying this to be funny but Logitechs have notoriously failed me on PlayStation. I’ve had more than a few of them

Signing this waiver is wild to me

Titanic sub passengers forced to sign chilling ‘death waiver’ before trip

‘Before you even get on the boat, there’s a long, long waiver that mentions death three times on page one,’ Simpsons writer says

Theyre inside so you can, if they were in scuba gear (obv not since theyre way down there but for the sake of argument) no.

Come on man

Mans paying a quarter Milly to venture down to the ocean floor in a tuna can and look out a washing machine window

Plenty of rich people already done this.
