As extreme adventures go, would you rather die at the bottom of the ocean, or at the top of a mountain, like Everest?

Okay, so it seems it did have a pinging device which now has stopped.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you don’t grasp for breath as oxygen is depleted...you simply gradually lose consciousness.

“So basically, if their lives are lost they won’t be in vain because someone’s going to take the lessons learned and they’re going to incorporate them going forward and make some adjustments.”

The only lesson to be (re)learned is that you can't cheap your way around doing very dangerous things. We know how to visit the deepest depths of the oceans and at the same time minimize the risks...we've only been doing it for seven decades now. There are no shortcuts...IF you want to make it a two way trip.

If the freefall is 3 hrs and the sub lost contact at 1 HR 45 min or so, then it had its problem roughly halfway down?

“someone’s going to take the lessons learned and they’re going to incorporate them going forward and make some adjustments.”

Yup. Don’t fire the old white guy who tells you dozens of reasons why the venture is stupid.

For families of those who may perish, maybe the company will offer coupons for a free voyage...

... and each journey of the vessel improves the following one.

There will be no more.

I was under the impression this was Titan’s first journey to explore the Titanic. This article seems to suggest it has done this trip several times before? Or is it a case of a grandstanding friend trying to hype up his past explorations on this vessel?

The wife of the captain, Stockton Rush, is a great great granddaughter of two wealthy Titanic victims, the Strausses.
