Good point. It's kind of like airframes, their life is measured in cycles not hours. Each pressurization causes an expansion and later a contraction. That 737 in Hawaii that blew the roof out yet still landed in the 80s is an example of an airframe being past it's useful life, but they weren't measured by cycles then. Doing island hops it continuously ran short flights for a jet that size and each cycle weakened the airframe until it wore out. It wasn't incredibly old, but it was discovered the hard way that repeated pressurization had a bigger impact than time in the air.
Titanic tourist sub goes missing

While a sudden catastrophic implosion means they didn’t suffer before eventually dying, it did rob the four paying passengers of the opportunity to beat the shit out of the dude who owned the sub.
I know... that's the most haunting thing about this whole ordeal...
Thanks Jonesie. 😉
Holy hell, some people should not be allowed on social media.
This doesn’t make sense. They got the job done in a massive coordination between multiple countries. Maybe he could have parachuted in.
Guess 250k was just the one way ticket, shoulda splurged for the round trip.
Just stupid. Crenshaw has his moments where he sounds reasonable, but then dives back into the MAGA cesspool. I’ve given up on him long ago.
To borrow from Rep. Comer, maybe it’s possible the Biden whistleblower may or may not have been on board the Titan submersible, and that’s why the Biden Administration delayed sending all available assets.
Hmmm…just asking questions!
I'm not sure what lives that deep (hagfish likely do), but some type of fish that survives on animals that sink after death were likely on them pretty quick. The wreck itself provides structure for fish...so something would have been close by willing to take advantage of the resource.
This is who they are. You vote GOP you vote for this.
In February, a couple in Florida sued Rush, saying that his company refused to refund them the $105,000 that they each paid to visit the Titanic on the Titan in 2018. The trip was postponed several times, according to the suit, in part because the company said it needed to run more tests on the Titan. The couple claimed that Rush reneged on his promise of giving them a refund and that the company instead demanded that they participate in a July 2021 voyage to the wreckage.
The lawsuit is pending and Rush has not responded to it.

There was evidence about the 9/11 being an inside job in a Titanic safe. They were renting the sub to retrieve the evidence. Unbeknownst to everyone in the sub was a passenger who was in the cross hairs of Hillar…..
I think the poors fared worse in the first go-around.
These are the two guys that I thought should have been on it from the beginning and they prove it.
Depends on gender.
Rich women were the most likely to be saved, then poor women, then rich men, with poor men being the least likely to survive.
Remember a lot of rich men determined it was their duty to wait until all the women and children got off the ship and absent that put on their best outfits and sat in the lounge sipping on brandy.
I thought they got to 12,000 feet before imploding which is about the right depth.
Rich people should be a 1
If we're counting the number of times rich dudes have dove to that depth or deeper they have a lot more than that.
The British dude that was on that sub dove even deeper to challenger deep before. Of course he wasn't in someone's homemade DIY sub that time.
I was alluding to the fact that Cameron has made serious bank off the Titanic...
I listened to the video and maybe I missed it but I didn't catch where he said that.
Is it possible that he might have said 3500 meters and not feet?
And they told their wives to feed the dog, and that they’d feed the fish.
Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
Yeah, more like 7/8ths of the way there
"It’s unclear where or how deep the Titan was when the implosion occurred, but the Titanic wreck sits nearly 13,000 feet (almost 4,000 meters) below sea level. The submersible was about 1 hour and 45 minutes into the roughly 2 hour descent when it lost contact."
I just was going by what Cameron said and he said 3500 feet. He may have misspoke but he is a submersible expert and member of these explorer folks and none of us are.
