There is less than a 0% chance of finding this, I just can't believe people would get in a vessel of that size operated by a fucking logitech controller.

Watched this video earlier that gives some great insight into the possible flaws with the project and the sub. He seems to come to the conclusion that they are most likely already dead. Although apparently banging was heard for some 30 minutes? Truly harrowing stuff.

Man is unhappy because he doesn't know he's happy. It's only that.

I remember the Kursk tragedy in 2000, poor people.

even if they locate the sub hauling it back to the surface is virtually impossible. Very tragic story. I wonder what the legal fallout will be re: OceanGate creating and okaying that jury-rigged piece of crap.

rush (the ceo of oceangate) sounded like an absolute loon with his past comments. saying stuff like there shouldn’t be much training to drive the submarine and that the safety protocols they had to go through were overbearing. what’s surprising is those logitech controllers are apparently a standard for high tech shit.
what a complete nightmare though. if they’re still alive, that’d be one of the worst ways to go. stuck in a cramp area with 4 other people 10000+ feet below the ocean (assuming they’re on the sea floor) with depleting oxygen. especially for that father and son.

In all seriousness, Cameron's Titanic film is why people are still fascinated by the fate of RMS Titanic. If not for the film most people wouldn't care much about a shipwreck that happened a hundred years ago much less spend $250k to visit it at the depths of the ocean.

As a metaphor about the fascination death provokes on all of us... until one day gets out of control ( was ever in ?). Herzog would do wonders with it

Well, RIP. The poor kid told his dad he was too scared to go and only gave in as father's day gift. Ugh.

Based on James Cameron interviews:
Was not certified.
This was preventable.
This has never happened in exploration community.
He knew on Monday the fate of passengers.

Have you guys seen this? LaraQ pacinoyes There is no way anyone could think this was safe...  I'm now seeing that James Cameron feels he had a responsibility to voice his concerns about this...  |

I liked the funny memes that came out of this.
