MISSING TITAN SUB - THREAD 5

[tortoishelll]

Thread 5 - a continuation.

My heart aches for those poor men and their families. 💔😔

Terrible to hear that the young lad was terrified to go

Can you say what you mean rather than being cryptic?

Ranulf Fiennes was an expert. These were just people with more money than sense.

Everything has an element of LFE .....deep sea exploration is not advanced......they knew the risks.......they have helped like countless others have in other fields of exploration......trailblazers...thank you guys!

I just can't get that poor young boy out of my mind

Thats not what everyone else has been saying about at least two of the men, they were both extremely experienced. Did you know them?

Yes it was.

Is this really the place for this shit?

Sorry, how do trips like this actually benefit anyone except the men who choose to go on them?

Ranulf Fiennes was an expert. These were just people with more money than sense.

Incorrect. 3 of the 5 were also experienced explorers with expertise in a variety of fields.

Don't worry about the facts tho, as you spew your judgment 🙁

I'd assume (correct me if I'm wrong here!) that they would also try and collect footage and data of the titanic to analyse and aid in our knowledge.

@Bouledeneige I have found the link which I read :

"During the expedition, the Titan, which can hold up to five people, including three paying passengers..."

What further 'knowledge' do we need about the Titanic?

How did we fly? How did we build high? How did we build cars? Boats? Phones? Anything..... RESEARCH....RISK TAKERS....THRILLSEEKERS

Maybe take a break from the coverage & posting so.

It's desperately tragic, of course. Most people are sad for their families who knew them. But unless you did, you don't need to continuously think of the victims.

I wondered this too.

Yes, I watched the documentary on BBC iPlayer this morning of another expedition the Titan done (I believe perhaps in 2021) where they mapped the Titanic wreck and completed the first full 8k drawing of it.

Really spiteful people in the world. I'm sure if it were your family, you'd do everything you could. Go have a glass of wine and look up the word empathy.

I just can't get that poor young boy out of my mind
Me too, OP.

I got this first time out, so it's not you @SirChenjins

Not just the Titanic. I think it's the BBC documentary that featured a marine biologist and another scientist who were getting lots of useful information as they try to better understand marine life at that depth and its environmental impacts. The sub brought up samples of water from the deepest point that they were analysing.

What's eating it the rate of decomposition the response from the animals in the surrounding areas etc etc we need to learn about our own planet it might be useful someday

Go on then, what use was this trip to humankind?

An unmanned rov could do exactly the same.
