The Ocean

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Saw plenty of the Titanic via video when I went to Belfast.

i get why rich people, bored with the mundane, want to explore. Everest, Antartica, the moon, the depths of the ocean. but at least get in a proper submarine. couldnt pay me 250k to get in that thing. Its obviously a shame, for their families. but these guys clearly didnt care if they lived or died so we shouldnt either.


the contrast in coverage of some rich guys V migrants death at sea is a stark one also.

That's a very interesting point Goose

Evidently the window on this sub was only certified to about half the depth that they were diving to.

and the carbon fibre hull wasn't suitable for multiple trips to that depth

Interesting op to think today’s technology a nuclear submarine can only dive to a depth of 245 metres a sea turtle dolphin mackerel etc can go much deeper
