Tourist(s) missing in submarine while trying to reach the Titannic
https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/u-s-coa...-sub-1.6446841


Quote:
A search and rescue operation is currently underway to locate a submarine that went missing during an expedition to the Titanic.
The U.S. Coast Guard was looking for the submarine Monday morning after it disappeared during the expedition from St. John's, N.L. The infamous 1912 wreck is located more than 600 kilometres southeast of the province in the North Atlantic Ocean.
The trip to the Titanic was being run by OceanGate Expeditions, a U.S.-based company. It uses a five-person submersible named Titan to reach the wreckage 3,800 metres below the surface. OceanGate's website advertises a seven-night voyage to the Titanic for US$250,000 per person, or approximately CA$330,000.
"We are exploring and mobilizing all options to bring the crew back safely," an OceanGate spokesperson said in an email to CTV News. "Our entire focus is on the crewmembers in the submersible and their families."


Those tours are a series of five eight-day missions to the Titanic with the money raised by tourists going towards Titanic research. Posts on social media show the ship launched from the St. John's area last week.

Did they really have 5 people in this?? Or do they have a larger version??

That'd be the next question. Are they actually able to release it from inside the vessel. Was that actually a feature.

That was really good, thanks for sharing.

Looking at the whole lead up to this, nothing that was done was logical. And as expected it failed to work out.

?

This is not a sub... it is a submersible. The submersible requires a ship to launch from as it doesn't have the power required to get out there on it's own.

Or did I miss something about this particular vehicle?

I assumed that’s how they got that little vehicle out there. Every single thing about this excursion is a giant red flag, but somehow all of them were ignored.

Explorers are crazy. Magellan went around the world on a ship that was MAYBE 70 ft long and records are that it could've been nearer to the 55-60 ft of the Nina/Pinta.

Again - the world's always had guys who are willing to risk it all. When it works they're celebrated. I don't really think they should be mocked when it doesn't.
Eeeeh. I wouldn't go that far. A lot of folks that ultimately did go on those expeditions did so under orders of whoever ruled that jurisdiction at that given time. A more proper comparison would be if the regent and his closest friends set off and drowned in a cobbled together boat made of bamboo and flex tape after executing all his advisors that told him what a ****ing stupid idea it was.
