Tourist submarine on expedition to Titanic wreck goes missing

Ground Control to OceanGate--

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

What we know about the missing Titanic-exploring submersible

I am claustrophobic. I would NEVER have done this. That being said…for the reasons I wouldn’t have, it would be an absolute nightmare of nightmares to lose any comfort they had, no windows (not that it matters at depth) no control, others freaking out, anxiety attacks across the board, and no hope. I would rather burn to death. I feel terrible that these humans have gone that way….BUT they signed up for it, I could only assume there was at least a 4 hour class on what TF could happen along with the course of action during the “adventure“.

Foil Hat:

The billionaires prob just joined a secret underwater community of other billionaires because world doom.

I have to admit the no windows thing is odd to me. So you go to see the wreckage on a TV screen? Can do that from home.

There's a port at the front. One of the points made was it wasn't certified to the depth that Titanic's at.

I was thinking same thing!!!!!

Ya I think the lack of portholes is due to the depth and pressures that particular unit was designed for. They would have to be 20+” thick special plexi or bulletproof glass or some **** to do that.

A whole new meaning to “a breathtaking experience” ….gotta be horrible! Unless it goes quick! Sad mess either way
