Okay, the industry maybe obscenely safe, I'd like to know what is the track record for Titanic tours... this is no ordinary tour with the depth that they're going. You'd think that Rich people want pay more to ensure it is 100% safe.

The main body of the submarine was wrapped in 5 inches of carbon fiber tape, maybe some experts here can tell us if that is actually safe or not

My wife asked me a question that I didn’t have the answer.......

Isn’t the Titanic sub equipped with a failsafe “pinging mechanism” that would send out a strong signal for potential rescuers to triangulate, lock on to, and quickly locate should any emergency issue arise.

I’m all for the freedom of adults to play stupid games and win stupid prizes. I’m against the God knows how much taxpayer money being spent to try to save them from the consequences of their actions.

Likely the brochures touted adventure and safety, great safety.
Rich people are like most other people. They believed what they wanted to believe.

As a side point, I prefer electrical devices that have the UL label. At least then I know there was (hopefully) independent testing done on the device.

I wonder. Did that mini-sub undergo any independent testing? Probably not.

Let’s get ready for the usual chattering suspects to use this situation to attack Elon Musk and his approach to new tech.

Imagine being trapped in a small space with limited oxygen along with the people that are going to die because of you. Not a good day.

A rail car implosion shows how quick. Since the Titan is under much higher pressure you can speed up the implosion.
