OotL: Sudden Titanic References
I've seen quite a lot of memes and content related to the titanic on my frontpage. Waht's going on?
You're viewing a single thread.
The company OceanGate have constructed a DIY submersible, that's not been tested, regulated, checked, or certified.
The CEO of the company and four civilian passengers have gone on this submersible on an expedition to the Titanic wreck.
They've since lost contact with the crew. The oxygen is calculated to run out today.
It's a huge rescue operation.
It's very likely the front viewport failed, causing the entire vessel to depressurise and instantly crumple, killing everyone inside instantly. Chances of survival are improbable at best
Just recently watched this video about it. Highly recommend it.
Update: The crushed remains of the submersible were found floating on the surface. Evidently the submersible's mothership and possibly U.S. Navy hydrophones heard the sound of the sub's implosion before the search and rescue mission started. But this fact was not made public until after the remains were identified.
