That’s a possibility. But then shouldn’t they be searching the Titanic wreck, if they haven’t already? They already know where that is.
“Sean Leet, co-founder and chairman of Horizon Maritime Services, which owns the Polar Prince mothership from which Titan launched, defended the company at a separate press conference on Wednesday.
He said: “OceanGate runs an extremely safe operation.”
They are so out of business. Even IF they’re not found or held criminally liable, who will want to take their Titanic tour after this?
Apparently not, dude............
RIP
Not a problem. The CEO is there and has access to everyone’s waiver. Just go to clause ##.%.m.&* : “in event of disaster you agree to ‘suicide’.” It’s title is: “The HilaryHag clause.”
There, lots more hours left.
That part is truly shocking. How much does a basic tracking beacon cost? Maybe $2,000 tops
Nah. Just good timing.
That stupid, arrogant, woke founder of this company deserved to go ace/deuce, and so did the egomaniacs that paid good money to get buried at "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" with Captain Nemo.
I feel no remorse for listening to the hand wringing coming from all of the 'New Christians' praying for love and a peaceful death for those idiots.
Well if you strangle the ceo you’d have 20% more air.
If they did live long enough to have difficult conversations, someone might have volunteered to die in exchange for money from the billionaire promised in a check or an updated will. Wonder if anyone down there was a notary public?
Pretty macabre, but dang interesting. Thanks.
What act or lack thereof constituted the “loss of contact?”
Iow, how was it known contact had been lost?
Someone posted above how losing contact part-way down was a normal occurance for these dives for this vessel.
That seems like maintaining comms was another “safety is just pure waste” issue for Stockton.
Thermoclines mess up deep sea communications to and from the surface.
Then....how is it that remote vehicles can be piloted?
Good question, although this wasn’t a remote piloted vehicle.
Perhaps the remotes can get intermittant communication through the interference.
Anyway, just wondering.
I’d read that, too.
Woke meets high risk tourism.
i.e., Darwin Award. I’m sure that the lawsuits are already running off the printers...and it raises the bar significantly for the ‘space tourism’ nuts, including Musk.
Appears our thoughts were on point. Catastrophic hull failure due to a poorly engineered hull design.
Maybe should have consulted some well experienced 50+ year old white engineers who knew a thing or two, because they’ve seen a thing or two. And after crunching some serious numbers, they’ve questioned a thing or two and asked difficult questions to those in power.
Dunno. I guess it comes down to who writes the articles. Titan was under the direct control of the CEO of the company. News articles suggests comms were often lost and the pilot on board had total control of the vessel...
