A previous Titanic submersible traveler recalls his experience

A massive search operation is underway to find a submersible with five people on board on a trip to view the wreckage of the Titanic. Meanwhile, CNN's Jake Tapper speaks with Mike Reiss, who has previously made the same trip with OceanGate. #CNN #News

This company has been operating for a while. It was working well for a while now. The fact that this is the first time we're hearing about this means it's been safe for a while. Just like airplanes, we only hear about the crashes.

[@larissagarratt1293]

There were submersibles in the past that could go that deep and they did. James Cameron went down like a dozen times. Not with this vessel though.

[@johnnylego807]

@@IanSumalloWrong, every dive was accompanied by various problems, it may have been someone safe initially but the carbon fiber hull would have degraded due to multiple trips of very cold water which degraded carbon fiber RAPIDLY. it would have potentially lost its structural integrity after the multiple dives causing hairline fractures in the hull. without proper maintenance of the hull using advanced equipment, that hairline fracture at that deep of water would have caused an implosion (Rapid Depressurization)

It is not a company. It is a non-profit that paid no taxes while ferrying tourists @ $1,000,000 per "expedition". To retain non-profit status, the scam had to claim each tourist dive was for a scientific purpose, and the tourists were "mission specialists". 100% scam.

[@carlitocartel8797]

It blows my mind that they didn't have a emergency Beacon on that sub

[@Hawk-hb1xi]

When you are that deep in the ocean, a beacon won't do you any good. People don't understand that water is surprisingly good at absorbing radiation. And when you are at any meaningful depth, a signal will not be able to travel far enough to be read.

Apallo 1 had a single Bolted entry & exit hatch too. An oxygen fire inside killed all the astronauts during ground test that day.

There's many other possible complications as well. Many nerds like me across the world want to know now where that sub is regardless of it's condition.

I don’t understand people who would deliberately risk their lives like that…

[@violinhunter2]

The fun is IN the risk and knowing you paid 250 grand for it. The greater the risk of death the more fun it feels. If they are still alive at this moment, they will probably experience a great thrill when they realize they only have 10 minutes of oxygen left? AND, they will have died doing what they loved....

What a nightmare of a situation to be in for that lost crew. Tons of thoughts and prayers from me. I wonder how this story will end and what will be discovered.

[@W1ZY]

After the 96 hours of air expires, the "coverage" will be of an argument over whether or not to stop searching until another story supercedes it, after which it will be forgotten.

[@MissJane777]

Unfortunately... It's basically already ending. 😔 Such a horrendous and awful nightmare! How terrifying! 💔 It's really a recovery mission now. Even if they did find the sub "in time", the process of getting it opened would be the next challenge and at this hour out of 96? ··••>>⏳️The time is truly so unbelievably sadly. . . . Out.⌛️

Titanic 2

[@laurenurban3942]

No movie will be made unless they are found alive and saved. Otherwise, they’ll probably just make a documentary. No one knows what happened, so they would have to find that big soup can and figure out what happened before anything is made. If it imploded how would anyone ever know unless they find it. Everything is speculation and that is not an answer. I wont watch a movie based on speculation. It’s pointless, unless there are cold hard facts to back up that speculation.

Undersea, for every 33 feet (10.06 meters) you go down, the pressure increases by one atmosphere. Even half-way down it be 2800 psi. Instant death.

They are deceased. At 13,000 feet below sea level the temperature is 37 degrees. At that temperature you have less than 10 hours before you fall into a deep sleep. If the submarine is still fully intact.

I seriously hope they are located! The "TITANTIC" beneath the sea mining it's business after their bad experience years ago. Charging people $250,000 to go beneath the sea as a tour is just too much! We had a guy in our unit years ago who said this and it stuck with me to this very day: They will make money off of anything and will advertise like it's the greatest thing ever until seriousness happens, like us here on this hill fighting for the good. Then it's back to normal.
