    I’ll be curious to see how iron-clad whatever waiver they had to sign will actually be.
    We need a traffic court lawyer to opine.

    No doubt, the CEO was onboard.

    But y’all can go on with your fantasies or whatever it is you need out of this tangent. I knew what I was doing.

    Has all the dives to the titanic that this company has completed been done in the same vessel? Have there been multiple iterations of this ship? I mean, how many times can the same fucking vessel be subjected to those types of pressures before material fatigue sets in?



    and, seriously, where are you livin’ that you’re still able to get milk delivered by some dude?

    Missing Titanic Submersible

    “Toigo, who is the majority owner of the Vancouver Giants junior hockey team, says in the lead-up to his trip on the vessel, it was made very clear that death was a possibility.

    "It says right in it that you can die," Toigo said of the disclosure agreements he had to sign to get on board.

    "It makes it very clear this is an experimental ship and it's not certified."

    Titan operators made it clear 'you can die' on trip, says Vancouver businessman who rode vessel multiple times

    I'm glad that participation in death sports has expanded past French extreme athletes to filthy rich billionaires.

    French?

    I think Monsieur Cousteau took it past the Gentleman Submariner level.

    The navy knew it happened in real time. Told the coast guard. I'm sure the Navy have "enough sonar buoys so that a man could walk from Greenland to Iceland to Scotland without getting his feet wet."

    Ocean has been miked since the 60s

    Its how they found other subs.
    Just read that they also lost the transponder (located in a secondary internal pressure vessel) signal at the same time they lost coms, so yeah - everything all at once at 1300 M. They didn't even get close.

    Why did they cram so many people in that tin can? Because Rush needed that many people to cover operational costs?

    It was so small that only one person at a time could straighten their legs. WTF?

    I couldn't have boarded that thing on dry land let alone take it to the bottom of the Atlantic.

    In the town where I was born
    Lived a man who sailed to sea
    And he told us of his life
    In the land of submarines
    So we sailed on to the sun
    'Til we found a sea of green
    And we lived beneath the waves
    In our yellow submarine

    More proof money doesn't buy happiness. Being a baller billionaire, paying a half a million to get into a tiny space and be crushed to death. Life, it happens.
