"The first submarine didn't work, then a dive at 1,600 meters had to be abandoned." ********************************************************* While an international effort is underway to rescue those on board the Titanic-exploring submersible that has been lost at sea, a German adventurer, who once went on the same exploration, called the voyage a "suicide mission," as officials race against time before the vessel loses its oxygen supply. Arthur Loibl, 60, told the German outlet Bild that he went on the voyage in August of 2021 and immediately noticed a slew of concerning "red flags." VIDEO AT LINK...........

Despite their onboard oxygen tank expected to be depleted sometime Thursday morning, one doctor says they may have more time if the passengers are still alive. He estimates the five people aboard the lost Titanic tourist sub could survive for 10 to 20 hours with air still circulating through the experimental capsule. Dr. Richard Moon, a professor of anesthesiology at Duke University, said that despite conditions being dire, those aboard the OceanGate Expedition's submersible could extend the oxygen available after its tank is depleted by staying calm and moving as little as possible. "The actual amount of time that they...

Far-Left justice correspondent for The Nation and frequent MSNBC pundit Elie Mystal suggested a "rich White person" take Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito to "see the Titanic" amid reports of a missing tourist submersible. Mystal was criticized for "wishing death" on Alito and later claimed it was just a "joke." Responding to a tweet from New York Times columnist David French calling his comments "vile," Mystal said it was a "joke" and included a link to the Supreme Court's Dobbs opinion that overturned Roe v. Wade last year, arguing, "This is vile." Several on Twitter accused Mystal of "wishing death"...

He is a descendant of US Founding Fathers Benjamin Rush and Richard Stockton The saga of the missing Titanic submersible Titan continues to grip the world. And now three days after the OceanGate watercraft vanished, anger is beginning to mount over the doomed mission. OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush is one of the five men on the Titan, with around 20 hours of oxygen left. The Titan is currently missing with five people on board after it lost communication during a dive to the Titanic's wreckage, which is around 12,500ft below the Atlantic.

Stockton Rush, who is one of five people aboard his own company’s lost and likely doomed submersible which lost contact with the surface while diving to see the Titanic, said in 2022 that “safety just is pure waste.” Rush, the CEO and founder of OceanGate Expeditions, spoke with CBS News reporter David Pogue on his podcast “Unsung Science” about a prospective trip to see the legendary shipwreck some 12,500 feet below the Atlantic surface off of Newfoundland. “My whole life I wanted to be an astronaut,” Rush stated. “I went and got an aerospace engineering degree. I wanted to be...

The Titanic tourist submersible that vanished on a trip to the 111-year-old shipwreck at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean is believed to have run out of oxygen — but authorities pushed ahead with the search operation Thursday morning. OceanGate Expeditions, which operates the Titan sub and whose CEO, Stockton Rush, is aboard the missing vessel, told the Coast Guard on Sunday evening that the vehicle was equipped with only 96 hours of oxygen, with the timer running out around 7:08 a.m. Thursday. The status of the five passengers aboard the ill-fated trip remains unclear as US and Canadian officials...

Death by corporate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), also known colloquially as ‘wokeism’, is unfortunately becoming a theme.If you have been following the story of a missing deep water tourist submarine run by a company called OceanGate®, perhaps this part of the untold story might provide some ironic context for the current crisis.

Oxygen might give out today for the 5 people in the sub. There are five missing on the OceanGate Titan sub: OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British businessman Hamish Harding, father-and-son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood, who are members of one of Pakistan’s wealthiest families, and Paul-Henry Nargeolet, a former French navy officer and leading Titanic expert. An interview with Stockton Rush from 2018 shows that a woke mindset can be deadly:

The search for the missing OceanGate Titan submarine, which disappeared Sunday during a dive to the wreckage of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean, is now in its fourth day. The Coast Guard estimated Tuesday afternoon that there were about 40 to 41 hours of oxygen remaining on the vessel, which is carrying five people.

Video shows the moment the OceanGate Expeditions submersible began its doomed voyage to the Titanic wreck in selfie footage posted to TikTok. Abbi Jackson, a 22-year-old videographer employed by the company onboard the mothership, Polar Prince, shared the short video before the vessel disappeared. The post, captioned 'watching a submarine go down to the Titanic' pans away from the ship's deck to show Titan on the surface of the Atlantic Ocean some distance away. Miss Jackson also filmed one of the sub's passengers, Paul Henri Nargeolet, who has been dubbed 'Mr Titanic' for visiting the wreckage 37 times. The 77-year-old...

Wendy Rush is the great-great-granddaughter of Isador Straus — who co-founded Macy’s department store — and Ida Straus, who were among the wealthiest people aboard the Titanic’s ill-fated transatlantic voyage, according to archived records obtained by the New York Times. The Strauses are remembered for their moving display of love as the ocean liner infamously sank in the North Atlantic...

A submersible carrying tourists to look at the remains of the Titanic went missing on Sunday, and the odds of anyone onboard surviving grow lower by the day. It’s also been reported that the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions, the company behind the excursion, is onboard. And the more information that comes out, the less surprising it is that we’ve ended up in this situation. Metro reports that last year, when asked about the safety of the Titan submersible, Stockton Rush, OceanGate’s CEO, said, “You know, there’s a limit. At some point safety just is pure waste. I mean if you...

The area surrounding Titanic's Atlantic grave grows busier with search vessels as everyone tries to get eyes on the missing OceanGate submersible.Earlier this week, a submarine full of tourists disappeared while on a trip to the wreckage of the Titanic. The sub was equipped with 96 hours of oxygen, meaning rescuers are racing against the clock to locate the missing sub and save its occupants from watery, claustrophobic hell. The latest update? They’re still down there. However, rescuers have noticed a sound coming from beneath the North Atlantic, a set of “banging” noises first discovered by a Canadian plane. They’re...

As rescuers continue to search for the missing submersible carrying five passengers who intended to visit the wreckage of the Titanic, naval experts have emphasized the challenges of a successful rescue operation. Recovering underwater craft is always a tricky business, and the submersible that traveled to the Titanic went to such extreme depths that any rescue attempt would be extraordinarily difficult. Fifty years ago, the two-man crew of a small submersible was rescued off the coast of Ireland, but was in far shallower waters than the vessel that’s currently stuck somewhere in the vicinity of the Titanic. When asked if...

Five people are currently missing in a submersible that went to visit the Titanic shipwreckWelsh presenter and adventurer Lowri Morgan has recalled how she felt “emotional” upon venturing down to see the Titanic shipwreck in a Mir Russian submersible in 2003. The 48-year-old, who hails from Gowerton, was speaking to WalesOnline following news that a tourist submersible, Titan, went missing during a similar expedition on Sunday, June 18. “When the opportunity came I accepted the challenge and was committed to doing the research,” said Lowri, who was a deep-sea diver at the time. She described how at the time the...

The stepson of a British billionaire aboard a missing Titanic-bound sub went online to flirt with a nearly nude Only Fans model Wednesday as rescuers raced to find the vessel. Brian Szasz, the stepson of wealthy British explorer Hamish Harding, retweeted an image of Only Fans it-girl Brea flashing her booty in a thong with the caption, “can i sit on u” on Twitter Wednesday as the high-stakes rescue mission unfolded. “Yes please!” Szasz gushed enthusiastically. The post came just minutes after he asked followers to “please keep my family in your prayers.”

As crews race against the clock to locate and rescue the passengers of the submersible that vanished while visiting the Titanic wreck, the stepson of one of the missing didn’t let the unfolding ordeal keep him from one of his passions: rocking out with Blink 182. Brian Szasz — whose billionaire stepfather Hamish Harding is one of the five people who could be trapped in total darkness 12,000 feet down beneath the Atlantic Ocean with about 40 hours of oxygen left — shared Monday that he was attending a Blink 182 concert in California despite the ongoing situation. “It might...

MULTIPLE VIDEOS AT LINK......... An extensive search-and-rescue has entered its third day trying to locate a submersible that went missing during a dive to the Titanic shipwreck, and time is running out. Rescuers have been racing against the clock because even under the best of circumstances, the vessel, OceanGate Expedition’s Titan, could run out of oxygen as soon as Thursday morning. A glimmer of hope came Wednesday morning, when the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) said in a statement that a Canadian aircraft had detected noises underwater. The statement did not elaborate on what rescuers believe the noises could be. In...
