TITANIC SUB

[rusty]

Right now we should be focused on hoping those people can be saved.

No matter their financial status or political affiliation.

Amen Steve.

There are 5 human beings on that vessel, and since Sunday they’ve probably assumed they were going to die. They’ve had several days to think about that.

There was a piece on the Fox News website from, I believe, a retired Navy Admiral who was talking about what these men have been experiencing, but I can’t find it now. It may have been too disturbing. I’ll keep looking for it.

I agree with that. It was poor taste on my part to try to make a political joke about it.

If these people in this thing somehow make it back to the surface alive, they should be billed for 100% of the resources used in the rescue effort.

If they don't make it back to the surface alive, then their estates should be billed for 100% of the resources used in the rescue and recovery efforts.

They have discovered a debris field near the Titanic. This thing probably imploded days ago...

The U.S. Coast Guard said Thursday a "debris field" was discovered by a robot searching for the missing submersible vessel near the Titanic wreck.

The missing OceanGate submersible had been underwater with five passengers for more than 96 hours as of Thursday morning, putting it at the point where experts have speculated it would run out of oxygen.

The Coast Guard said a press briefing will be held on the debris field at 3 p.m.

"A debris field was discovered within the search area by an ROV near the Titanic. Experts within the unified command are evaluating the information," the Coast Guard tweeted Thursday morning, using an acronym to refer to a remotely operated vehicle.

University of Sydney Marine Robotics Professor Stefan Williams wrote earlier this week in a blog post for The Conversation about the possibility the submersible could have imploded due to the immense pressure put on it by the weight of the water.

If there's any solace to be had, I guess it's better that they died instantly rather than slowly suffocate over several days.

I was thinking the same thing.

Of the possible things that could have happened to them..this was the best one.

Most likely so quick they didn't even realize it.

[BillP]

I wonder if they will run that thing again. Maybe after many improvements. I doubt they can find any passengers again.

I gotta believe it’s not a huge company. They’ll be bankrupt and out of business very soon..if not already.

Let the lawsuits begin.

[Sangersteve]

Let the lawsuits begin.

They signed waivers, knowing it could end badly.

[GRANDPA]

I bet the lawyers have been looking for loopholes since Sunday.

Why?
That's like having plane crash or car wreck victims pay for the rescue. If any of the passengers contributed to the mishap then maybe they should be held responsible. We don't know enough about it to claim that.

I don’t know if that will prevent the lawsuits Steve. I’m of the understanding that waivers don’t matter a whole lot. Especially if they could prove negligence.

Do politics have to intrude in everything? I swear, if I posted a video of tiny kittens & giant dogs, some of you sons of bitches would find a way to turn it political. Jeez.

You might ask that gasbag Obama. The media coverage of an American submersible is "inequitable" because illegals off the coast of Greece got less:

I’m pretty sure Grandpa was just talking about this board.

[GRANDPA]

At the time I posted that, I didn't know Obama had said anything. Too many people at both ends of the spectrum have made it political. Idiots & morons.

Mostly because the left has made it that way..everything IS political.

Cars, food, clothing, education..even the weather.

I can honestly say..nothing in my life is not political.

Only because you choose it that way.
