Default What do you think happened to the submarine?

Are those people totally doomed, or...?

I heard an expert say Titanic is 2.5 miles down, it’s pitch black down there, it’s freezing cold and not even radar works just sonar.

Titanic tour CEO Stockton Rush said he didn't hire '50-year-old white guys' because they were NOT 'inspirational'

How'd that work out for him?

I still don't get (too dumb to wrap my head around) the info about the depth and all that. Hopefully they were turned to compressed paste before they, god forbid, suffocated to death.

A poorly designed tin can with no safety certification having control features via a PC game controller. Sounds great, sign me up.

They weren't "explorers", there's nothing down there they would have seen through their tiny porthole window that we don't already know about. They were just wealthy "extreme tourists" who thought their obscene amounts of money would save them from their inevitable demise in a baked bean tin.

It's obvious that it suffered an implosion under the immense pressure down there, because the nose and tail ends were in two separate debris spots. The only question is when it happened - if it was on the way down, if it was as soon as they hit the bottom, if they had a few days of waiting, etc etc.

The supposed "banging" that they thought they picked up on the sonar beacons wasn't from them, it's been misreported by the media. It was never "every 30 minutes like a textbook SOS call", it was just ocean chatter.

Also, as a planet, can we just move on from the fucking Titanic? It was over 100 years ago, very sad, we've had research and expeditions and a fucking blockbuster movie and for some reason these tossers still think there's more down there to see.

Fuck the Titanic.

This is one of those things I feel like I'm supposed to be aware about but have been out of the loop on because I've barely been paying attention to current events and now the idea of getting up to speed on everything so I can join in on it seems daunting.

I read some CNN article on it that was this compilation of these hourly updates but it didn't have any funny parts because of course CNN could make this apparently funny thing boring.

I'm waiting for some trusted YouTuber to just do a "everything you need to know about the submarine thing" video on it. I only saw videos from random channels I don't care about that were only 1.5 minutes long so I didn't think they would have all the information I need.

I used to be a smart person who read the news and was aware of domestic politics and international events but now my media diet is so bad I don't even know about the unimportant funny meme news, let alone the important shit.

Imagine spending $250,000 to be buried with the Titanic.

At least they got to see their own funeral

The pilot mechanism for the submarine was a controller from an XBox!

They're charging a quarter million per person to drive them 3 miles down with an XBox controller!!! What the actual fuck.

Well, when did the land crew lose sight/contact with them? I'd think it would be around then, right? That would explain the disappearance, but I'm no radar/sonar expert.

their surface crew lost contact soon after they descended. They waited a day to call for help.

James Cameron has done several interviews saying that they knew it imploded, that they were dead, and but they launched a massive search anyway for some reason.

Right. I can't be as cruel as some of the memes and comments going around. It's horrifying, even if they were obnoxiously rich and self-indulgent.

why don't you post this in every 'so and so doing a thing IN HELL' thread?

why are the masses compelled to care so much about rich people who wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire? they messed with the bull, they got the horns and then god knows how much government (including US) money was spent to search for them--buncha welfare kings. if only everyone got that white glove treatment.

i don't know what memes you are talking about except for the one in this thread which is more cruel to george floyd than anyone else.

The 19 yo was reportedly terrified about the trip and didn’t want to go but ended up going to please his dad on Father’s Day.

Agreed with all of that, it's just a bit weird to bring that up at the very point he was trying to make, which was, for all their faults and everything wrong with them (and the whole idea of billionaires existing in the first place), they were still people with families which in itself is completely 100% true.

Unless you're implying that very part of it is worthy of dehumanizing.
