Titanic tourist submersible goes missing with search under way

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
Has anyone thought about the tourist trips down to see both the Titanic and the Titan?
Tourism at the bottom of the ocean? That's actually a great idea! I'm going to start my own submersible company for tourists and call it H2O-Gate! I have an old logitech controller at home that can be used to control the sub (the Scylla). Also I heard that carbon fiber is the best material for the hull.

This is going to be sooo awesome, guys!
 
I'm disappointed that there aren't more underwater tours, even if they aren't in the deep sea. Like if you could make something that looks like a whale that you could sit comfortably in with massive windows in, and tour the edges of the coral reefs and all the fish living there
I believe there actually are tourist submarines that do just that in places like the Bahamas.
 
The youtube algorithm striked me and suspended me for hatespeech because i left a comment saying that more WEF members should take submarine trips lol.

It’s going to be interesting to see what happens when a Musk venture finally kills a bunch of people conclusively.
Some say it’s already happened, for example the Tesla crashes where people couldn’t escape the burning wreck because the door handles are electrically operated. Or the many Autopilot fatalities where it just drives into a parked truck at 70.

It may take something like a fire in that car tunnel in Vegas (where there are no escape routes) or a manned rocket blowing up because of some shortcut, but I guarantee you 90% of his stans will still be making excuses for him.
Musk is basically the live action version of the Monorail guy from the Simpsons. I so want to laugh at millionaires dying because of his grifts.

You don't need to be submerged underwater to see reefs, glass floor on the boat is more than enough, those things can only be found in shallow waters.

You can also just get in the water and wear a mask and look at reefs. Or scuba dive and visit actual ship wrecks. Get your advanced underwater certification and actually penetrate ship wrecks. Which I have done and is fucking freaky but cool as fuck.
 
Oh like they're not gonna treat some mysterious infernal puzzle box dragged up from the abyss like its the gateway to hell, or possible autism.
They will find it and bring it back as the Lament Configuration.
There are tourist submarines in Hawaii too. It's called Atlantis Adventures: https://atlantisadventures.com/
I've been on something like that but instead of a submarine, it was a glass bottomed boat. It works pretty well at least in clear waters.
 
They were really optimistic about the state it was in, I guess this movie was made before the wreck was found, or were they planning on welding back on the entirely fucked ass end?

Theres a couple in the Bahamas and one in Honduras or Guatemala I believe, and I think one in the Canary Islands.

Well before. It was based on a book, written in the mid-70s by Clive Cussler, and assumed that the ship had gone down in a single piece. Cussler's theory (pretty much the reason he wrote the book) was that the boilers had smashed their way through the bow, which is why the ship appeared to settle and then tilted up so abruptly.

The book was better.

I'll have to check it out thanks.

The key point with those tourist subs is they never go more than 90'/30 meters underwater. And dealing with 50psi pressure is not that difficult these days.
 
I'd still rather be on the surface having a mai tai or whatever and looking down.
To fully illustrate just how shady Oceangate was, those cheesy Caribean Tourist subs run by illiterate Haitians and con men? They're all US Coast Guard inspected and Certified by the Certfying organization that Rush blew off.
