Titanic sub incident Titanic sub search: more rescue equipment arrives amid fears for 06.26 BST Recovering the missing Titan submersible and bringing its crew to safety in time using the latest advanced deep-sea rescue equipment would be an extremely difficult task, an expert has said. Even if Titan is located, a successful rescue would require remote-controlled vehicles (ROVs) capable of allowing operators on the surface a clear view of the submersible’s location, any obstacles that may be present and where to attach cables capable of lifting it thousands of metres through the water. If the Titan and its five-person crew did arrive at the Titanic wreck, they will be located 3,800 metres (12,500ft) below the surface on the seabed – too deep for most ROVs to reach. Only a “tiny percentage of the world’s submarines operate that deeply”, David Marquet, a former US Navy submarine commander, told CBC. If you’re just joining us and looking to catch up on the technical challenges that face rescuers attempting to reach the sub, read the full report here: Experts say rescuing Titan submersible ‘a very difficult task’ Read more 13m ago 06.16 BST Though authorities and those involved in the hunt for the Titan submersible, the challenges should not be underestimated. The area of ocean where the vessel is lost is remote and rugged – and the wreck of the Titanic lies roughly 3700m below sea level. If that is hard to conceptualise, this illustrated video captures the scale of the challenge. Wendy Rush, who is married to Stockton Rush, Ceo of OceanGate and pilot aboard the Titan submersible, is also a descendent of a couple who lost their lives aboard the famed ship. The New York Times reports that Rush is the great-great-granddaughter of Isidor and Ida Straus, two first-class passengers who were aboard the Titanic when it went down in 1912. The couple were among the Titanic’s wealthiest passengers. Isidor and his brother co-owned a Macy’s department store. Survivors reported watching Isidor refuse a seat on a life raft to allow women and children to get on board. Ida chose to remain with him. The scene was recreated in the film dramatisation of the disaster. Wendy nee Hollings Weil married Stockton Rush in 1986. She is also the communications director at OceanGate and has personally visited the Titanic wreck three times. |

Officially out of air, although chances are that it ran out long ago. Wonder how long it'll take to recover or if they'll ever recover the sub. |
May have entered into an unsolved mystery along with Malaysian Airline MH370 ... may never find it. |
How is this even news, who cares. |
It’s kinda funny the contrast of when that Russian sub got stuck at the bottom and every country in the world was trying to do somthing. Send their condolences etc. When it’s a home made tube with a bunch of billionaires everyone just makes memes and changes the channel lol Typical stupid rich guy shit and they paid the price. Wtf is the point of going down there to look through a computer monitor. Do you really love the titanic that much or you’re just some knob running out of things to do |
total knob man. like seriously you cant even see jack shit sitting inside that stupid tube and whatever you are seeing, its probably through an LCD. Then you might as well go watch James Cameron titanic documentary. why are we wasting tax payer dollars even searching for these idiots. Send the bill to their estates |

Good article about some rich people who like "extreme" tourism. https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/21/busin...ers/index.html Extreme tourism has become a growing trend among thrill-seekers looking for an adrenaline rush, pushing the boundaries of conventional travel and, sometimes, of safe travel. OceanGate Expeditions, for example, is among several companies that cater to demand from private individuals wanting to explore the seas and even the seemingly unreachable depths of the worldÂ’s oceans. “What I’ve seen with the ultra-rich – money is no object when it comes to experiences. They want something they they’ll never forget,” said Nick D’Annunzio, the owner of TARA, Ink., a public relations firm specializing in special events. For some rich people, perhaps it is the ability to experience something that few people have experienced before. They want an unforgettable experience. Oh I believe that part about the unforgettable experience for sure for those 5 people in this Titan sub. :considered: They will never ever forget about this experience. The sad part about this experience is that those five rich people will not live to talk about this experience with other people. Honestly, If I had the money I would much rather spend it on a Porsche ICE experience in northern Finland. -learn how to drift in a Porsche in winter weather conditions. -much cheaper and probably safer than trying to go down 19 thousand feet under water in a submersible to look at a shipwreck. https://experience.porsche.com/Ice/I...Ice-Experience What about space tourism? The rocket ship experience in that Blue Origin rocket module? Just gotta pay millions to take a space trip in a flying dildo.

Paying for 6-figure events like this are probably equivalent to us choosing a flavor of chips at a grocery store at their wealth level. |
Latest news is that USCG found a debris field near the titanic, a press conference is scheduled for 3pmET.... Doesn't sound good. |
Can't help but wonder what took place when they realize there's 5 people using up limited oxygen. |
I think it's more likely that this thing imploded as it was decending, especially if this debris field thing is true. Fortunately for them they wouldn't have felt anything, their deaths would have been quick. |

Debris found on ocean floor has been assessed to be from the external body of the Titan sub From CNN's Priscilla Alvarez The debris discovered within the search area of the missing Titanic submersible has been assessed to be from the external body of the sub, according to a memo reviewed by CNN. The search for the crew capsule of the Titan vessel continues, the memo says. The debris was located on the ocean floor, roughly 500 meters (about a third of a mile) off of the bow of the Titanic, and it was found around 8:55 a.m. ET. It was discovered by a remotely operated vehicle that was searching the seafloor, according to the US Coast Guard. |
coast guard press conference says the debris is from the titan. It imploded |
Wow, that is terrible. RIP |
Dying from a sudden implosion was the best outcome for everyone that was inside. |
Yeah as crappy as it is for them this was best case scenario since they wouldn't have been able to be rescued in time and they'd just have to sit there for days waiting for death. |
Man, I imagine this thing has been a ticking timebomb from its first trip down, with every stress cycle on the hull bringing it closer to failure. Apparently Ron Toigo (Vancouver Giants owner) took that trip down a couple years ago. If I was him I'd be thanking my lucky stars right about now... |
Time for law suit? Maybe the Chinese blew it up jk. Yea sad, really hoped they'd make it. I've said it before but I'm waiting for Elon clone dinosaur's if he threw a billion or two at it I'm sure we'll get there. I'd sure love to visit Jurassic Park and hopefully not get eaten. |
Rest in pieces. |

Yep rich people get special treatment, more news at 11. |
An event just off the shores of Canada and USA gets more coverage in Canada and USA than an event halfway across the world. Total Shock. |
