K-9 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 55 minutes ago, SCBills said: You’re projecting. People were fascinated due to the unimaginable torture and terror we thought they were going through. A race against time .. in real time .. that we thought was happening. If we knew what our govt apparently knew on Sunday .. this story doesn’t become so gripping to almost everyone. It would be a headline for a day .. then out of the news a day or two later. …because most people understand why others, with the means to do it, would want to go see the Titanic. And we know things can go wrong. We haven’t ever encountered the mind numbing terror of the situation we thought we were witnessing. Per the bold, this is so true. There have been so many catastrophic events where we are spellbound by the potential tragedy while simultaneously rooting for another triumph of human ingenuity to rescue the victims. Whether it’s Chilean minors stuck below ground or a Thai boys soccer team trapped in a flooded cave or four young children surviving 40 days in the Amazonian jungle after a plane crash, the world collectively yearns for successful outcomes. There is something special about that shared humanity and the pride we can all share in those successes. But it makes the losses that much more tragic, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 James Cameron nailed it. I guess we all pretty much came to same conclusion why redundant systems failed: "I felt in my bones what had happened. For the sub's electronics to fail and its communication system to fail, and its tracking transponder to fail simultaneously - sub's gone." ~James Cameron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 Director James Cameron is coming out now and doing a lot of news appearances all over Youtube. He's very direct and critical of how this guy went about his business. The whole thing was very much preventable. Another emerging story: the Pakistani son did NOT want to do the trip and was terrified of it...he did it to please his father. That info. comes from his aunt. That's really sad.

Bob Jones Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 This story once again mirrors what I said about Terry Pegula in the hot topic thread on the main board, about him re-upping Beane & McD when there was absolutely no need to do so, and that is that even though these guys (on this sub) were very wealthy, they weren't too smart. The LACK of proper QC/testing on the initial build, and especially, the ongoing maintenence & testing, of that vessel was stunning. Seems pretty clear that repeated trips down below weakened the hull/whole thing, and that caused it to go kablooey. A very sad situation, and totally preventable (with proper ongoing maintenance & testing/QC). Of course the latter costs money, and I'm not even sure the company had/has the proper hi tech tools needed to determine the structural integrity of the hull and other components. Titanic movie guy James Cameron says the same thing, but anybody breathing air with an IQ above 50 will come to the same conclusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the CEO referred to the company internally as "SpaceX of the sea". Their whole business model was to sell tickets to the wealthy (nothing wrong with that, of course), and provide these boutique experiences. Initially the price was $100k +/-, where the actually number represented -- get this -- the original price of a first class ticket on the Titanic, but was adjusted for inflation. You just can't make this stuff up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
