God bless all the lives lost on that sub so sad!!!
I agree. May God comfort their families.God bless all the lives lost on that sub so sad!!!
Sad set of circumstances but true.From what I have read about the thing, it sounds like it was made out of parts from Pick-n-Pull, Game Stop, Hajoca and Tractor Supply. The guy that backed out and got his deposit back changed his mind because he felt it was unsafe. He made a good call. The ones who died, did so before they even had a chance for fear to register or feel any pain according to experts.
Hell for all we know the CEO already embezzled everything. Kinda hard to sue a corpse (a non existent one at that)Sad set of circumstances but true.
Will be interesting into see if the waivers mean anything with the coming lawsuits. There’s plenty of evidence of short cuts in terms of safety.
No but there’s other parties besides just him. For example: the company that owns the rights to the titanic wreck site and for a fee, authorizes the dives.Hell for all we know the CEO already embezzled everything. Kinda hard to sue a corpse (a non existent one at that)
Well, I'm sure those Families Ain't Broke, or Struggling, but they may sue anyway....No but there’s other parties besides just him. For example: the company that owns the rights to the titanic wreck site and for a fee, authorizes the dives.
Ain't it like 1500 souls down there? Respect granted, but I damn sho' ain't gonna visit 'em!IMO, the Titanic wreck should be off limits if for no other reason than respect for the dead.
Yup, plus five more.Ain't it like 1500 souls down there? Respect granted, but I damn sho' ain't gonna visit 'em!
As with any maritime gravesite, whether it be civilian or military, leave the dead in peace.IMO, the Titanic wreck should be off limits if for no other reason than respect for the dead.
Amen !As with any maritime gravesite, whether it be civilian or military, leave the dead in peace.
100% agree with all of that, there's some kind of fascination for me, but ain't no way in hell I'd want to go visit it, not for any amount of $$.I admit I have a huge curiosity about the Titanic. I find myself looking at pictures and video a good bit sometimes. It's just one of those things that kinda grabs you and pulls you in. The enormity of it all. It was a huge ship to begin with and the ocean just swallowed it right up. If that's not enough reason to stay the hell away, I don't know what is.
Millions of dollars were wasted, just like NASA. I can understand sending satellite's in space but the rest is a waste. There's a reason why those planets are not livable.Nope, for the son but not the others.
KARMA! How many millions wasted???
Not a "regulated" piece of equipment....and no escape hatch...bolted from the outside...
They all were billionaires.Well, I'm sure those Families Ain't Broke, or Struggling, but they may sue anyway....
Sure, its sad, but at the same time this was a clear case of "play stupid games win stupid prizes"
Look up the guy who developed this thing, and the choices he made, both in constructing it, steering it and who helped design it and you will find it was just a bad idea to get into this can
It reminds me of the scene in the Nikki Lauda movie where he talks about acceptable risk
This vessel simply exceeded that risk
