Agree. All that can be learned from the average human is to educate yourself better before trusting these extreme events.

If the accounts are true, there appears to have been a couple situations where the sub could not abort a dive and return to the surface. During one they had to physically rock the weights off, and another they just sat down there waiting for the auto time release to go off, and in another he apparently figured out how to drop them manually.
Even if his hull monitoring system went off, it appears the odds of them stopping a dive were somewhere around 50/50 on a good day. |

‘Human remains’ recovered from debris of Titan submersible
US Coast Guard says salvage mission was undertaken in an agreement with the Navy and the new materials were offloaded at an unnamed port By Our Foreign Staff 11 October 2023 • 1:32pm The intact aft portion of the Titan is brought to shore for investigation The US Coast Guard has recovered remaining debris, including presumed human remains, from the Titan submersible that imploded on its way to explore the wreck of the Titanic, killing all five onboard. The Coast Guard said that the recovery and transfer of remaining parts was completed last Wednesday, and a photo showed the intact aft portion of the 22-ft (6.7m) vessel. Additional presumed human remains were carefully recovered from within Titan’s debris and transported for analysis by US medical professionals, the Coast Guard said. The salvage mission, conducted under an agreement with the US Navy, was a follow-up to initial recovery operations on the ocean floor approximately 1,600ft (488m) away from the Titanic, the Coast Guard said. The new materials were offloaded at an unnamed port. The Coast Guard previously said it recovered presumed human remains along with parts of the Titan after the debris field was located at a depth of 12,500ft (3,800m). Most of the wreckage from the submarine was salvaged in June Investigators believe the Titan imploded as it made its descent into deep North Atlantic waters on June 18. The search mounted after Titan went silent captured the world’s attention. The submersible was attempting to view the British passenger liner that sank in 1912. The Coast Guard’s Marine Board of Investigation said investigators from the US National Transportation Safety Board and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada joined the salvage expedition, and the Coast Guard is coordinating with international investigative agencies to schedule a joint review of the evidence to determine the next steps for forensic testing. The Marine Board of Investigation, meanwhile, will continue its analysis and witness interviews ahead of a public hearing on the tragedy, officials said on Tuesday. OceanGate, the operator of the vessel, has since gone out of business. Among those killed in the implosion was Stockton Rush, the submersible’s pilot and the chief executive of the company. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-ne...human-remains/ |

I could buy a lot of margaritas, beach time, and T&A with $250,000.
Or I could go 2 miles underwater to see a sunken ship in a confined space with someone who may rip off a fart and not be able to excuse myself from the room. Let me think... |
