I cannot believe they didn't have some sort of tracker or GPS on the damn thing

[robd.]

*BROCHURE SAYS THEY OFFER THE FULL TITANIC EXPERIENCE*

[rauldeluna]

Imagine paying a quarter million dollars for an instant horrific death.

[mgcal]

We're gonna get a blockbuster movie about searching for a submersible that was researching a ship that already had a blockbuster made about a submersible that researched the ship

More proof that that in today's world, wealth has little to do with intelligence and hard work. These people paid 250k each to dive extreme depths in a largely untested experimental submarine. They will then take turns looking out of a 12 inch window to see a wrecked boat at a distance. While I have sympathy for their families, This was idiocy on so many levels. Nothing more than bragging rights at the rich boy's billionaire club. With so many people homeless and hungry, I would be ashamed to waste 250k to take turns looking at a wrecked boat through a small window. Vanity to the extreme.

20$ says in 5 years they make a movie about this

They committed the cardinal sin... they named their vessel Titan/Titanic.

[MilliTyme]

Netflix about to run it up with this one

[syewilliams]

Few years time and the story will be missing billionaires in space

[SD_slots]

They fell to the bottom of the ocean. Now they get a real life experience of being on the titanic.

[sarahwright]

This right here, makes me so glad I'm the type of person who doesn't do things.

[AGJ]

I hope they found a gopro. I would love the watch the footage of the entire tragedy.

[DRKrust]

Hopefully the lawsuits which come out of this put an end to this type of ghoulish tourism.

Unlike a submarine, submersibles have limited power reserves and need a separate support vessel that can launch and recover them, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

in 2018, submersible experts expressed "unanimous concern" over the experiment approach taken by Oceangate when building the Titan and warned of potential "catastrophic" issues with its design.

In a letter to Mr Rush unearthed by the New York Times, the Marine Technology Society said the company was making "misleading" claims about its design exceeding established industry safety standards.

No tracker? We can find our IPads & phones in the next room, but nothing was placed on a submersible traveling 3 miles deep? It's always the little things.

[JustPlay]

This is how billionaires commit suicide

I would never get in a "tin can" that's being bolted from the outside with only one tiny window to see out 😮
you couldn't pay me $250, 000 to go 13, 000 feet down... to see a wreckage of a ship.
Leave the Titanic alone❤ This Crew is going to become part of the tragic Titanic story❤
I understand the adventure and these men are very wealthy so can afford the price tag...
but I don't believe this submersible was safe at all.
they have no food and no water!!! seriously I think ego got in the way and this sub was just poorly made. Why didn't they have emergency systems in place if this happened??
these men will become part of the victims of the Titanic shipwreck😢 even if they find the sub not much time is left...😅I feel so sad for the nineteen-year-old who's losing his life just at the beginning of it.
Jesus be with these men Comfort them and don't let them suffer❤

What could possibly go wrong with a submersible controlled by an Xbox controller?

[Ethereal.Nebula.]

the goddamn million dollar submarine worked on a 30 dollar game controller….. with BLUETOOTH. i honestly don’t know what they were thinking….

[barbaraeriksson]

And who were the 700 people than drowned on a ship, supposedly towards freedom? How many days did you cover their stories?
