"Debris Field" found near the Titanic wreck site.

I saw a report yesterday that they have been doing deep sea diving like this back since 1960 and there have been no casualties. Hundreds and hundreds of dives. Some much deeper than where the Titanic was. James Cameron himself has gone down to the Titanic 30 times.

It is safe if you are in the right vessel. The American, French, Russian etc designs have all been with vessels made of the same uniform material. Like all steel or all titanium. The difference is that this design that failed used two different material that had to be laminated together. In the industry most people knew it was unsafe.

Stupidity to save money. The 53 year old White chief safety Engineer was fired for bringing up the issue.

Those rich people should have done their research. Everybody in the industry would have told them it was a tremendous risk.

The pressure at the bottom is astounding. 7 miles deep...5280x.432x7=15,993 psi... That's only approximate because the deeper you go the denser the water and so a cubic inch of water at the bottom is heavier than one at the top....

The 'good' thing is the crew of the the sub literally nrver knew what hit them. When the sub imploded they were dead before their brains were able to register what happened.


'When a submarine hull collapses, it moves inward at about 1,500 miles per hour - that’s 2,200 feet per second. A modern nuclear submarine’s hull radius is about 20 feet. So the time required for complete collapse is 20 / 2,200 seconds = about 1 millisecond. This mini-sub was much smaller, meaning the hull.was crushed faster than a millisecond.

A human brain responds instinctually to stimulus at about 25 milliseconds. Human rational response (sense→reason→act) is at best 150 milliseconds.'

No pain, just...GONE in less than a blink.of an eye.

Hopefully prior to the implosion there was no creacking, cracking, or sounds of the hull behinning to fail. Hopefully they were excited about the dive and chatting, no concern, no fear.

What happens to the human body when a submarine implodes?

Pakistani kid, was terrified to go, but went anyways.

I believe God have us that little voice in our heads, the one that warns us of danger, but too many people don't listen.

And remember, just because you are paranoid does NOT mean THEY still aren't out to get you.

Reminds us of the unsafe oil rig disasters and the coal mind disaster's in the past. Safety was ignored, and people died. Happens Everytime.

UH OH... Shouda got Elon

It would have had a lithium fire and burned at the bottom of the ocean.
