Relatives of people aboard the ill-fated Titanic cruise liner, which sank in 1912, say tourist trips to the shipwreck site — like those offered by the missing OceanGate Titan sub — are “disgusting” and disrespectful to those who perished in the disaster.
The wreckage should be treated like an underwater “graveyard” of the 1,496 who died, not a “Disneyland” for adventure-seeking tourists, the family members told the Daily Beast.

I walk through graveyards all the time.
I agree completely.
Beyond that, those fools that just died at the Titanic site put a loaded gun to their own heads and paid serious money for the privilege.

Sounds like the Indians complaining of ‘burial grounds’ every time Americans want to drill or mine.
I often walk through a certain local cemetery and have the distinction of being able to walk over my own grave, where my late wife is also interred.
My thoughts exactly!
“ The wreckage should be treated like an underwater “graveyard” of the 1,496 who died, not a “Disneyland” for adventure-seeking tourists”
Like I’ve been saying
By 2030, there will be nothing left anyway. So it won’t be a “graveyard”. Not sure what their point is.
people visit graveyards
Mount Auburn Cemetary in Cambridge MA is a tourist attraction…a very beautiful place.
…
Hey now. Hang in there. We still need ya!
I mostly whistle past them.
The writer is a moron...
The RMS Titanic was not a “cruise liner”.
It was a passenger ship.
“ I walk through graveyards all the time.”
Do you visit morgues for fun to stare at bodies you don’t know?
That’s what they’re doing
*The wreckage should be treated like an underwater “graveyard” of the 1,496 who died, not a “Disneyland” for adventure-seeking tourists, the family members told the Daily Beast.*
It’s been a hundred years. Those people are not entitled to an opinion anymore than you or the 5 passengers.
Opinion shopping.
I am not seeing disrespect as in any way essential to a curiosity that wants to be proximal to a location of historic loss of life.
Graves of the rich and famous are tourist attractions.
There is no bodies to be seen. Scavangers, bone worms and dissolution in salt water would have seen to that.
It is just a rusted out hull that is left.
When do the tours to visit the dead sailors resting in the Arizona begin?
I don’t think there’s any bodies left
