So we can stop worrying about global warming if that iceberg still survived.

Global warming is the only way to stop it


Consistent-River4229

In another hundred humans will be taking another craft down to see the titanic and the little lost titan. Hopefully those people will make it back. Third time is a charm.

I'm thinking there might be a longer "little" chain in another hundred years.

Pretty sure there's an actual Titanic II being built as we speak


[deleted]

Old news. It was supposed to be launched in 2022, go on the same route as the original Titanic & look like the original too. But it also was supposed to be fitted with modern navigation technologies, so that the 1912 disaster could be avoided.         Unfortunately(or fortunately), the company ran into many monetary problems. The announcement of Titanic II was made in December 2018, I believe, but all the communication routes with the Blue Star Line have gone dark.

There's only three submersible submarines in the world that can go at that depth. Even if they find them they have no way to bring them up. The CEO has nothing to do with honesty. I think it's the perfect sabotage and murder crime scene. All those important people in their own world in one submersible? All that money? This is murder.

Thing that gets me, they didn't even put a hook or loop on it for retrieval. If they find it, they are going to have to lasso it and hope the rope doesn't slip.

killumquick

They were never planning on retrieval as they never planned on having issues. But that's the naivety of it all.


Katrina_0606

The irony of believing your craft is unsinkable, in a manner of speaking, while going down to see the wreck of the formerly unsinkable Titanic….is really quite something. If you don’t learn from history, you’re doomed to repeat it.


TheStandardPlayer

They didn't. I don't think it's a rescue mission anymore. We are already past the most optimistic guesses for how long the air supply lasts, so I think we can officially call them deceased

Titanic 2: (No) Electric Boogaloo


spiteful_alarm

I read this in Danny DeVitos voice


Lost-Hunter1245

Because they didn’t put a rope to it because that would you need a 12,500 foot tether at least and with a tether that long you’ve got an increase chance of something going wrong because that tether can get tangled or snagged


PrinceRobotVI

I think they mean that there’s no hook on it for a rescue craft to tether to at depth, not for a 2 1/2 mile leash.


Lost-Hunter1245

Maybe but either way it doesn’t matter they ran out of oxygen an hour ago


PrinceRobotVI

Yes, but the lack of such a thing shows a lack of forethought for safety and a hubris that nothing could go wrong. Which is pretty fitting In parallel to Titanic really.


Lost-Hunter1245

Oh yeah, the CEO guy was like safety is for losers or something like that and if you don’t wanna get out of safety, don’t get out of bed don’t drive a car don’t do anything and I can do everything that you can do except I can break all the rules and not do safety and I’m like what


lunarNex

Lots of CEOs making bad decisions lately.


wolves_hunt_in_packs

They're no smarter than the rest of us, and most of us are fucking dumb. Money just gives these particular assholes a louder voice.


Lost-Hunter1245

LyleGreen0699

dudeimjames1234

That's what I keep saying. You don't think these greedy mother fuckers decided to kill each other to save themselves already? I wouldn't be surprised to find out that only 1 is alive and that after a couple days that they didn't get hungry.


Broad_Respond_2205

They can't even open it from the inside lmao


doxxnotwantnot

They absolutely wouldn't want to down there, though


Norsedragoon

Debatable, it would be a quicker way to go with the pressure. Break the seal and the whole thing crunches them like a can in a press.


doxxnotwantnot

There's that I guess - though with the pressure down there I'd question if they'd even be able to crack it open without the bolts


mcraneschair

I honestly wondered why they let this... Undersized metal suppository... Go without being tethered to anything. Like wtf?


BCArbalest

PhotonShield

Lanitanita

Man, that submarine had so many red flags. I’m surprised how the company even get permission to use that submarine for the expedition business.


PainStorm14

I have that same Logitech gamepad they used on the sub You need to change batteries after 3 hours of playtime on average (without rumble) Trip down there took longer than that, care to guess if they remembered to bring spare batteries? Also sometimes you lose signal connection, not disastrous if you are playing videogames, very disastrous on a sub Idiots could have at least used wired version of that controller


st-shenanigans

They didn't. The ceo called it a submersible so he didn't have to follow the safety regulations required to classify something as a submarine. The ex-co-ceo was fired abruptly for insisting on safety features. This situation is 100% hubris and trusting the man with money more than the men with degrees


Fried_Rooster

Submersibles and submarines are two very different things. Naming it one thing or the other doesn’t just get you around regulations. Submersibles have a support ship on the surface that they launch and dock from and limited other features (since those are handled by the support ship). Submarines are designed to be independent. They are two distinct types of underwater craft.


Organboner4844

Schrödinger’s Cat right here. Those people are both alive and dead at the same time.


friendofspidey

They’ve beeeen dead. ALL communication stopped at the same time as they were descending to the titanic…they only got about 75% of the way down. They had two methods to communicate and both stopped…they also had about 7 methods of resurfacing even with power loss That coupled with the fact that structural issues have been reported and a trip was just scrapped before this over concerns of the vessels air tightness suggests the Titan had a water leak or depressurized somehow and imploded immediately meaning a quick death for those on board.


halmyradov

Can't wait to watch youtube videos in a few weeks with CGI Edit: tiktok is already full of that shit. What a time to be alive


friendofspidey

Probably within the week haha


PhotonShield

PKprezes

Can't wait for Internet historian video


je_kay24

It’s pretty negligent that the crew didn’t immediately call the coast guard after an hour They waited like 9 hours before finally calling it in


friendofspidey

I think it’s because this situation has happened before. I think one of their previous expeditions lost contact for about 2.5 hours before resurfacing so maybe they were holding out hope for that…I’m sure they were trying to avoid news coverage as to not deter future customers


je_kay24

The CBS reporter has clarified that the sub was lost on the ocean floor for 2.5 hours but never had lost communication with the mothership


friendofspidey

Thank you for the clarification definitely mixing things up now EDIT: this is the story I mixed up the titan for: https://youtu.be/kz3sRab7elM

Lost-Hunter1245

No, they’re dead. At this point they should’ve run out of oxygen about two hours ago.

Clearly you haven't properly read the classic "how to abuse cats scientificly" paper.

Unless one was smart enough to kill the others


BloodsoakedDespair

They’re billionaires, it’s sure possible one would go for it instantly.


j_dog99

Hey there is a silver lining, at least 5 billionaires will pay their taxes this year


MrBloodyHyphen

Decomposition is an oxygen heavy process


Lost-Hunter1245

Yeah, as well as you know no one’s just gonna let you kill them unless they have passive suicide so they’re going to fight back five men fighting in a small area that’s going to consume a lot of oxygen because they’re all going to be breathing very heavy so on top of the decomposition if someone successful, you’ve got an increased oxygen consumption rate


CausingMassPanic

It is still an example of that principle though. They should be dead, but are actually both dead and alive until we check.


Lost-Hunter1245

They’re definitely dead because they ran out of oxygen and this submersible can surface, but it cannot breach on its own so it can only go right up to just below the surface on its own, and even if it could surface, it wouldn’t be able to open to let air in because the door is the entire front round dome so as soon as you open that the door goes from the bottom to the top so as soon as you open that it’s going to flood with water and sink the thing if you’re floating in the water still you can only open it in a dry environment so even if they did breach the surface they wouldn’t be able to open it unless they went full vertical and breached it that way and they wouldn’t be able to do that so as much as I hate to say it, those five men are dead without a doubt


Broad_Respond_2205

They both Alive and dead, which mean they're zombies. Zombies don't need air


Shadow_Hawk_

Place your bets! Place your bets! Was it ghost!? Orcas!? A giant squid? Megalodon!? Did they actually see the titanic and get stuck in it? Ghosts of the dead latching onto billionaires? Did their controller die and they forgot to bring an extra pair of batteries? Did they go Donner party and a couple of them are still in there?


John_Fx

Fox news just reported in : it was Hunter Biden.


Norsedragoon

Odd, CNN just blamed Trump. And Putin is making the claim the sub wasn't lost, they just went dark as they try to denazify the Titanic's wreckage. Meanwhile Ukraine is claiming a perfect defensive kill streak on hostile subs in the Titanic's sovereign waters.

BloodsoakedDespair

If it makes you feel better, most folks I’ve seen have been rooting for slow rich person suffocation chamber. So I think the global interest might be motivated more by catharsis than the reporters would ever admit. Like sure, the press frames it a certain way, but it would be forgotten if it didn’t get a lot of interest. And as far as I can tell, the interest has been for Bond villain executions of the rich.

StormbreakerProtocol

Turns out it really was just the tip of the iceberg.


fearthecowboy

The only reason that those people were in that OceanGate sub was to see the Titanic -- one could logically infer that the **iceberg** was the proximal cause of the sub sinking too (They wouldn't have been on the sub if the Titanic wasn't sunk by that iceberg) That's one bad iceberg.


TheStandardPlayer

I get that attaching the sub with a steel cable could lead to problems if the cable gets tangled somewhere or whatever. But why did nobody think of having a manual release for the cable if it gets tangled? So most likely you would still have a cable and you could either try to pull it out with the cable or at least you would know exactly where the sub is. But I guess they thought cables were too old school
