Health and safety shocker!
At least the CEO of the Company involved is in the coffin and cannot weasel out of taking responsibility for the deaths of these rich people. Rescue plan? |

Health and safety shocker! At least the CEO of the Company involved is in the coffin and cannot weasel out of taking responsibility for the deaths of these rich people. I'm guessing they've already taken him out of the equation to help eke out the oxygen that little bit more  |

The rescue operation is looking very much like a US Coast Guard training exercise.

They got a shrink on Gammon Brexit News now.
Meanwhile in the real World I am glad I do not have a huge mortgage |

By:
Funny Reynard,
I would imagine they have been asking him a few questions like what do you mean there is no tracker? |
|
By:
No sizeable hatch either.
If they do find them they won't be able to bring them up. I pray for them, dying from hypothermia. |

Thunderbirds are go! it's time to call International Rescue
|

By:
It's like a thunderbirds story from my childhood.
Except its real, and there are no thunderbirds. |
|
By:
Thunderbird 4 would go down and pick them up
having been dropped in location by thunderbird 2. Still so much we are not ready for. |
|
By:
My view is they deserve to die.
It’s a pretty focked up entitled voyeuristic endeavour to view the morbid mass graves in the first instance But for an unregulated fart tin full of what I suspect are all rich followers of laissez faire capitalism when it suits, to expect a state run rescue…get fkd |

Get those splinters out of your jacksy dusty
Say what you think  |

Some proper psychopaths around

By:
sorry dusty cant agree , i cant help feeling for the dad and 19 year old even if they are billionaires etc etc .
|
|
By:
So it’s not weird as fk that all of em were going down to witness a mass grave simply because they are entitled?
Or than they only going cos corners were cut, that they all agreed with? I couldn’t care less about family stories. I’m pretty sure those who made their fortunes didn’t spend too long over suck triviality. |

Dusty, I bet you threw stones at cats and birds as a child.

Former passenger says his sub lost contact with host ship on all 4 trips
Mike Reiss, who has done four, 10-hour dives with OceanGate, including one to the Titanic, told ABC News his sub lost contact with the host ship on every dive. "Every time they lost communication -- that seems to be just something baked into the system," he said. With no GPS, Reiss said it took his crew three hours to find the Titanic despite landing just 500 yards from the ship. |

Never threw stones at owt, unlucky
But I did once shoot a magpie with my mates air rifle from his bathroom window overlooking sky edge, which startled it somewhat and a passing dog kept on it Such is life |
|
By:
It’s been dead many many years, do you still mark its passing with flowers pecker?

Titanic - Still killing rich folk a century later
 |

By:
I remember nigh on sixty years ago that members of the public came out in their droves in their cars to find position on hillsides and high roads to gawk at the Aberfan disaster. Going to see the Titanic is about as moronic as that. Absoutely pathetic that people should derive stimulation from such behaviour.
|
|
By:
People miss the point, if the Titanic was on the beach, No one would bother.
It's not about the dead.I As for Dusty shooting a lovely Magpie, well we all have done stupid things, but we don't beat about it 30 yrs later. Maybe try bullying some women Dusty, or can you brag about that too. |
|
By:
Its a morbid curiosity wanting to see a sunken ship come on peck
Esp after what came out about it in 1997, jack and rose was a really tragic ending |
|
By:
There can be an element of that no doubt, but it's the two miles down where no one has been, it's the adventure, the kudos, the rich man's plaything.
I doubt anyone is thinking about the dead, imo. |
|
By:
Elon, not put off by his snubbed offer to send a submarine to the thai cave rescue, has offered to send a mountain rescue team to help recover the stricken passengers of the sub.
|
|
By:
You can actually bet on whether they will be discovered alive or not,pretty sick stuff 1.09 they won't be..
|
|
By:
Pecker talking drivel
You asked about birds and cats so I answered, what’s bullying about that? And ofc it’s about the dead, do they go on fantasy dives looking at cargo ships that litter the seabed? This is indeed about entitlement you catching on…but it’s not that nobody has been to it, plenty have in various forms, but this was purely about tourism, where money was paid for some sort of thrill, and where regulations where avoided. |
|
By:
And btw, it would be unpleasant to die knowingly, if it was sudden then they’d not know much about it.
But this is about humans thinking they can buy what they want and trivialise risk. |

BBC ARE FULLY ON THE CASE , SOME GEEZER FROM CANADA IN A VIDEO , telling us :
What happens when oxygen on the sub runs out .. |

A German sea captain faces a 20-year prison sentence for helping to rescue more than 1,000 migrants at risk of drowning in the Mediterranean Sea.
Pia Klemp, one of just a handful of female boat captains, warned that “sea rescue missions have become criminalised” as she vowed to fight her case all the way to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. She is the latest victim of the far-right Italian government’s crackdown on desperate migrants trying to reach Europe by sea, which has seen those engaging in humanitarian rescue missions charged with “assisting illegal immigration.” Ms Klemp captained the Iuventa, along with the Sea Watch III rescue ship, and her efforts have saved more than 1,000 migrants from a possible watery grave while attempting the perilous crossing of the Mediterranean. She explained that her actions are lawful and protected by the 1982 United Nations Law of the Sea. According to its article 98, “every state shall require the master of a ship” to “render assistance to any person found at sea in danger of being lost” and “proceed with all possible speed to the rescue of persons in distress.” There appears to be a subtle difference of interpretation depending on how rich the people who need rescuing are. |

1208pm
oxygen runs out it takes 3 hours from seabed DEAD - NAP |
|
By:
Said this morning the special sub that surveyed the wreck recently is being sent….will take 60 hours to get there.
Surely at some point somebody needs to calculate the cost to likely return equation? |
|
By:
I’m amazed that a tube that size when bolted tight would contain enough oxygen for 5 people for 3 days.
Had the thing not already imploded I reckon the youngest would have become hysterical at some point, drastically shortening the max time they all could survive. |

By:
now a recovery mission
|

By:
The oceanographer who first discovered the wreck also later discovered the Bismarck and refuses to say where it is because he considers the gross commercialization of the Titanic to be akin to grave robbing.
|

By:
Air quality must be awful.
Building a filter was part of Apollo 13 survival. |
|
By:
previous trip - sub was 500 yds from titanic , but took 3 hours to find it
visability is bad |
|
By:
You’d have thought they’d have had a chain connecting to the ship.
Sea buoys are chained to the sea floor The ship on the surface knows exactly where the wreck is, and they must have created a chain strong enough to withstand the pressure |
|
By:
Company my grandfather worked at during the war created ship anchor chains 2.5miles long, huge things.

The now-missing CEO of a company that takes passengers onboard a submersible to see the site of the Titanic wreckage once told how he refused to hire '50-year-old white guys' with military expertise because they are not 'inspirational.'
Woke costs lives! |
