This bird lost a submersibile.... not a problem for the nhs
student teacher has spoken about how she got a vibrator stuck up her backside during sex. Emma Phillips, a mother of one from Wallasey, Merseyside, first thought boyfriend Lee had hidden the vibrator under a pillow as a prank. But then when she pressed down on her stomach she felt a buzzing inside her. They tried to remove it using a fork handle and barbecue prongs but all efforts failed. She was rushed to hospital to have the sex toy taken out and now Emma wants to warn people not to be afraid of getting help in embarrassing situations. |

Saying 'why is the Titanic such a big deal' (compared to the sinking of any random ship)
Most ships are lost either in war or on journeys that were expected to be hazardous. Or they were ships past their expiry date, not well built etc The Titanic was the most prestigous ship afloat, that it was sunk was truly astonishing to the world. And then you have all the drama of those who survived or failed to. As well as the fact that the whole British class system was involved at a time when Britain was the country that most interested foriegners. Is like when people say 'Why is there so much fuss about Madeliene McCann? Thousands of kids go missing!' Because they go missing in mundane ways (custody disputes or absconded from foster parents) that have zero mystery elements. And there is the atmosphere of fog bound streets etc The context is very important in how an incidentis remembered. Or - "Why are there so many books and films about Jack The Ripper? Other serial killers had way more victims!" Other serial killers got caught and it wasn't until they were caught that anyone knew they existed. |

Also post Ww1 there wasn't a huge
amount of war films, unlike ww2. People cracked on and trans Atlantic travel was height of glamour and cruise ships were popular plot lines in hollywood |
|
By:
yes because comparing all the facts, knowledge and evidence we have about the Titanic, a story told, re-told and relayed to the public umpteen times, is comparable to Madeline McCann which is a mystery completely unresolved with many many questions still need answering.

The heyday for shipboard films have been the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. But some early films have been made 1912, about the TITANIC desaster.
The first Film about a ship and partly filmed on was about the TITANIC desaster in April 1912. Saved From The TITANIC (1912) Director: Étienne Arnaud Saved from the TITANIC is a 1912 American silent motion picture short starring Dorothy Gibson, an American film actress who survived the sinkingof TITANIC on April 15, 1912. Premiering in the United States just 29 days after the event, it is the earliest dramatization about the tragedy. Gibson had been one of 28 people aboard the first lifeboat to be launched from TITANIC and was rescued about five and a half hours after leaving the ship. On returning to New York City, she co-wrote the script and played a fictionalized version of herself. The plot involves her recounting the story of the disaster to her fictional parents and fiancé, with the footage interspersed with stock footage of icebergs, Titanic's sister ship OLYMPIC and the ship's captain, Edward Smith. To add to the film's authenticity, Gibson wore the same clothes as on the night of the disaster. The filming took place in a New Jersey studio and aboard a derelict ship in New York Harbor. The film was released internationally and attracted large audiences and positive reviews, though some criticized it for commercializing the tragedy so soon after the event. It is now regarded as a lost film, as the last known prints were destroyed in an Éclair studio fire in March 1914. Only a few printed stills and promotional photos are known to survive. It is Gibson's penultimate film, as she reportedly suffered a mental breakdown after completing it. From https://earlofcruise.blogspot.com/2017/06/ocean-liners-and-films-at-sea.html?m=1 .. |

Everyone knows the true depiction movie wise of the eyesore Titanic was 1997 when the true story of a young woman born into richness meeting a scruff who lived with rats under a bridge, she and him along with a bloke named Cal and his cop sidekick spent the final hour on the great ship eyesore running around over a bracelet that went down with the ship, some years later the old Rose went back to toss that bracelet into the ocean of titanic, she then died in her sleep that very night and went to the after life to meet up with Jack. Cal of course blew his brains out because of the stock market collapse of 1930.
It's a true story, the movie said so and movies don't lie |
|
By:
But there's rumours jack didn't identify as a man he identified as a woman, so there's rumours of rewriting the movie to fit the true true story of Jackie and Rose, a homosexual relationship and Cal was an evil rich white man that emotionally attacked her and made her hate life... Or something like that anyway.

Fk-em
It’s a morbid fascination anyway, insisting on going down there to experience a mass grave. Why do ppl pay handsomely to do it, is it gloating that they can go down and gorp then return to the surface? Well now they living on each other’s farts. When will the tickets go on sale to go view the sub at the bottom that got stuck trying to view the graves of others? |

By:

new tour next year
titanic & sub |
|
By:
It's weird I agree dusty
They make sure average Joe can't afford to do it though which makes me very suspicious as to what's down there anyway The average Joe is priced out of everything anyway when it comes to space etc |
|
By:
Certainly a poetic irony.
For the filthy rich to pay 250k each and not even have a seat and die having (as the suggestion just being made on the news) getting snagged on the wreck itself. Well they wanted to experience it. |

By:
lost power 90 mins in

In a list of preferred ways to go, this would be near the bottom for me.

The family of missing British billionaire Hamish Harding have said they have “great faith and trust” in rescue teams, as the US Coast Guard expands its search for the submersible tourist vessel he is on into deeper waters.
There may be as little as 54 hours of emergency oxygen left aboard the submersible, named Titan, which lost communication with tour operators on Sunday while about 435 miles south of St John’s, Newfoundland, during a voyage to the Titanic shipwreck off the coast of Canada. |

Who is it that this is the story to flood the news with for a few days. What a weird world. These people are already dead.
|
|
By:
I would bet they are still alive........will be rescued ....premonition !
|
|
By:
I can see them opening the hatch to adulation from onlookers....of course there are parallel universes where they are not rescued......just stay in this one !
|

By:
Not looking good,agree it is a macabre thing to do but surely a bit of compassion,it must be a horrible way to go realising oxygen is running out.

I just can't do faux emotion, I realise that's very old fashioned these days! I mean, one can sort of empathise with someone's plight when you don't know them, but if it's something that they willing entered into, not really. The brief bits of the story have heard accidentally (as it has flooded tv, radio and online), they may as well have been playing russian roulette.
|
|
By:
I understand the 'it's their own fault' but what a terrifying time for them, i can get that too and not looking good.
|
|
By:
When I said they are already dead, I didn't mean because the vessel can't be recovered. I mean literally, they are already dead. From poisoning. You just hope that nobody perishes trying to recover it.

I just can't do faux emotion, Just leave it at you can't do emotion for people, as you admitted you don't like them. |
|
By:
I wouldn't go on one as you can't trust the sodding thing not to burst a bolt and sink
I agree with cider they willingly entered it and willingly went down in it so it's hard to be to be emotional about it They knew the risks, and if it's at the bottom of the ocean I'd just turn the oxygen off and go to sleep |

People get on planes every day of the week.
It's not difficult to sympathise here in this case, one is only 19. It's a sad situation. |
