Tourist submarine on expedition to Titanic wreck goes missing

[User170512]

This about sums him up..

**Then later on, on the drive home
I called her mom from a payphone
I said I was the cops and your husband's in jail
The state looks down on sodomy
And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three
And are still more amused by prank phone calls
What the hell is call ID?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?

Great song though...

French underwater Robotically Operated Vehicle (ROV), the Victor 6000 arrived about 30 min ago. Another hour+ to prep it to go.

This wasn't a diversity thing, in the crew photo they were all white anyway and mostly men. They didnt want old white dudes because they are cheap as **** and didn't want to pay for expertise, and didnt want someone bitching about safety... like the white guy they fired for telling them their sub was unsafe.

The CEO said it was about inspiration but I got dollars down saying he wanted impressionable young people straight out of college desperate to do something / be someone, willing to work longer hours, for little and probably late pay, that he could manipulate into doing anything for "the team". Older people with both life and professional experience would be more likely to tell him to pound rocks.

Seems like he was building this all on his personality and probably exploiting personal relationships with said "young inspirational" people to get them to do things they otherwise wouldn't.

This was their crew photo for the prior expedition, definitely looks like a few old white dudes who should have known better, but I'm guessing they weren't the ones with engineering degrees.

Yeah that's a fair point, and I'm sure that had a lot to do with it. One thing to point out though is that's not all the employees. There was around 50 employees, and I saw company stats somewhere that said it was around 70% women, the next largest non-white group was hispanic, followed by a small number of asians.

Regardless though the ceo by his own words chose not to hire "experienced" people, instead focusing on youth, and for whatever reason he entered "white" into the conversation. Although based on that picture, it looks like typical leftist speak of saying one thing and doing the exact opposite...

Surely they all read the waiver before jumping on board instead of just signing it

U.S. Navy subs may not be able to reach the craft, or have the right type of robotic arms or hooks to tow it to the surface,

but our submarines have sonar and listening devices that can detect other underwater vessels at considerable distances, right?

At least our attack subs could help find it.

And use a torpedo training exercise to put them out of their misery.

J/K, I believe that thing crushed from the pressure like a cheap beer can.

Coast Guard just did an update. ROV searching the area of the "banging noise" yielded no results as of yet.
They still don't know what caused the noises but they are searching in the area where they were detected.
Other than that they are still searching. A french ship that left last night has still not arrived onsite.
