the random musings not worthy of new thread thread

So these folks on the rich-people-see-the-Titanic-excursion are frozen solid by now, right?

Grim way to go.

[PhillyPhreak54]

And they paid a quarter mil a pop to get the real experience of down with the ship

[Diomedes]

Wow, that's much less than I thought it would have been.

Waymint

They used a god damn video game controller?!

[General_Failure]

Yes. According to the article they're commonly used for many things because of how many people are already familiar with how they work.

those people have been dead

the vessel lost contact and has all these different built in ways to come ashore...it combusted or something. at least it went quick for them.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I couldn't even imagine that. Nightmare shtein

[MDS]

if they're somehow alive, thats the worst possible way to go

they are trapped in this little vessel at the bottom of the ocean. countdown clock of oxygen, hoping they can be found while knowing that it is impossible for them to be rescued. an incomprehensibly slow, maddening march to death. i would only wish that on a trump, a nazi or donovan mcnabb

[PhillyPhreak54]

Look at this shtein here!

Well that's horrifying

[phattymatty]

Man that's gotta be one of the worst ways to go.  Knowing it's coming and not being able to do anything about it. Almost hope there is some kind of weapon down there so they can start picking each other off but maybe that's just in the movies. 

I read that even if they find it, unless it's bobbing on top on the water, they won't be able to bring it up anyway.  Crazy shtein.

[MDS]

the deepest rescue was like 1,000 feet down and they're a lot more than that...perhaps as much as 12,000 if they reached the titanic

there is no way to get them out of there even if they could find them, which they cannot

[Diomedes]

one wonders:  was there NO plan for if something went wrong?  If you're gonna go down 12k ft., wouldn't you plan for a failure and recovery?  Maybe leave a cable or a bread crumb trail?

There's like three vessels in the world that can go that deep. It's worse than breaking your legs on the summit of Mt. Everest. At a certain point there's not much planning you can do other than leaving your next-of-kin contact info with the company before departure.

I can't imagine why someone would pay a quarter-mill to see some poorly illuminated rusting metal on the bottom of the ocean. Seems lame as far as rich-dude adventures go. At least die in space, or sailing around the world, or something. But they made the choice.
