Missing Titan Sub! Thread 3

[Badabingbadaboomm]

OP of the last thread has said she has to pop out so making this one as we’re almost full on the 2nd thread.

I cannot stop thinking about these poor men.

Have to agree with this. Sad situation indeed.

Reports have said that they’re searching an area twice the size of Connecticut.
Connecticut is 70 miles wide and 110 miles long - a very small state.
My husband and I drove through it from south to north in a very short while.

It’s been since Sunday - I don’t have high hopes. However, I hope for their families and loved ones sakes that they’ll be okay.

It gets worse. I wish I hadn't opened the link on here to OceanGate's website. This is an extract from their FAQ:

(They call their paying punters a.k.a. the billionaires "Mission Specialists")

As a Mission Specialist, you will not just be ‘along for the ride’. During these authentic expeditions, you may opt-in to roles that you want to learn or that you already have an aptitude for – with training and coaching provided throughout your mission.
Role availability may vary depending on the expedition you join and the specific mission objectives. See the lists below for typical roles on each mission.

• Communications and Tracking

Assist the pilot with sub-to-surface communications.

• Submersible Service

Participate in servicing the submersible after dive operations.

• Dive Planning

Assist in operational dive planning.

OMG given the risks involved (and the number of death mentions in their waivers), would you want some rich person who'd just had a bit of training on the boat that week helping with the sub to surface comms (no wonder it fails) or dive planning and servicing the sub afterwards?! 😯I know it's probably all sales BS but if I was paying 1/4 million dollars to risk my life, I wouldn't want some random other punter who'd maybe had a few hours training getting anywhere near this stuff!

Imo - this won’t be the end of expeditions underwater to Titanic.

Titan’s case will be used as “trial and error” (similar to plane crashes, they learn from accidents and what not to do) journey and maybe this will be the start of some regulation in the industry.

I think it's also that the idea of being trapped in a confined space thousands of metres under the sea knowing you're probably doomed to die there is literally many people's worst nightmare. Irrespective of how rich you are.

Jesus. When I saw the post earlier regarding him going to a Blink 182 concert during all this, I thought he was just a dumb kid. That’s a grown ass man. What utter disrespect!

Yeah tbf their “source” could be that octopus that predicts world cup results so take it with a pinch of salt

*The step son of the billionaire guy is tweeting stuff like this:

twitter.com/audioguy182/status/1671519062965329922?t=88cblWqMW0h_woAjfqv3IA&s=19*

Is that the one who went to a concert the other night?

The step son doesn't seem to have bonded with the step dad that well it seems.

I was thinking that almost the worst situation psychologically would be if it had surfaced and was bobbing there but wasn't found. To be able to see the light but not get out with it being bolted from the outside 😔

If he is rescued successfully it's going to be one awkward Christmas dinner...

Can anybody else not seem to get the fact there are literally under 15 hours of potential oxygen on there, out of their heads? It's literally all consuming. I just feel so, so sick.

So potentially the same mistake the Russians made with the Kursk that cost all those men their lives. I guess they're just seem as collateral damage.

What the actual FUCK

Yes agree..so near and yet so far 😣

Fucking hell! That's crazy.

Yeh, he doesn't really give a damn about his step dad. So crass. At least have respect for your mother losing her husband

Well yes pretty much, as much as I hope they are found safe and well (sadly seems doubtful) I don't think the military should have their tech and capabilites compromised for this.

Wow that stepson is a piece of work. I wonder what his mother thinks of that post.

Apparently they only went down there with a bottle of water and a sandwich.

Is that Twitter account genuine?
