Sounds like an E-Ticket ride! Like Splash Mountain but good.
And of course OceanGate knew more than was being released to the public early on. That's always the situation.

From Quora, which I dislike actually, but interesting to extrapolate the data.
This data from Thresher type sub imploding at crush depth of about 1500'?
Clearly Titan was in vastly deeper water so implosion rate much faster...
So one moment they are looking with wonder at the ocean floor, the next they're in eternity... with no thought possible in the time it took...
"When a submarine hull collapses, it moves inward at about 1,500 miles per hour - that’s 2,200 feet per second. A modern nuclear submarine’s hull radius is about 20 feet. So the time required for complete collapse is 20 / 2,200 seconds = about 1 millisecond.
A human brain responds instinctually to stimulus at about 25 milliseconds. Human rational response (sense→reason→act) is at best 150 milliseconds.
The air inside a sub has a fairly high concentration of hydrocarbon vapors. When the hull collapses it behaves like a very large piston on a very large Diesel engine. The air auto-ignites and an explosion follows the initial rapid implosion. Large blobs of fat (that would be humans) incinerate and are turned to ash and dust quicker than you can blink your eye.
Sounds gruesome but as a submariner I always wished for a quick hull-collapse death over a lengthy one like some of the crew on Kursk endured.
There are several sources of hydrocarbons inside a sub. Hydraulic oil, diesel oil from the auxiliary Diesel engine, kitchen oils, grease, rubber, plastics, etc. This stuff sublimes to make its way into the sub’s atmosphere. It permeates the crew’s clothing."
The company was trying to do a NASA type thing with their little uniforms with mission patches and names on them...
It's like the Everest tourist trips. All goes well until it doesn't...
Ultra rich douchebags LARPing like they were actual explorers. Fuck them & fuck their mushy remains.

Yes. It is rather nauseating.
Still, possibly more healthy than self identifying as a woman trapped in an explorer's body...
I came across the 'we're travelers not tourists' argument when I was back packing through SE Asia in the 80's. Felt cool then but total wank now...
So the hype about not being tourists but 'explorers' and 'travelers' together with the dinky mission patches and names (5 people in a mini bus sized pod... probably won't forget names...) is a bit OTT.
So now what will happen is that all the sea life will come from miles around to eat the remains as food is very scarce down there.
So lots of this kind of stuff...
Possible execution method.
Looks like I won't be buying tuna or any other fish for at least a couple months.
No North Atlantic Cod
Yeah, I'm on the all beef and chicken diet for at least a couple months 🤣
Told ya.Yup, exactly. Or the cunts who go on an african hunt....the darkies do all the work, flush out the animal, point the gun and some rich prick pulls the trigger. I have no objection to ethical & responsible hunting but these assholes are disgusting.
This dude says it was a catastrophic failure
Interesting article
Even more eyebrow-raising are the components used to control the vessel, which includes a Logitech video game controller to manoeuvre the sub, no GPS system and single button that supposedly helps the vessel descend like an “elevator”.There is also apparently no way out of the submersible aside from a hatch, which is bolted shut from its exterior. Not even an escape pod exists.The entire vessel – which costs passengers more than $320,000 per head to travel on – is no bigger than a van and has no seats, but conveniently is fitted with a toilet.Science writer David Pogue went on a similar expedition in July last year with OceanGate where he got to watch the sub from the mothership, however the experience was far from smooth sailing.“Not gonna lie; I was a little nervous, especially given the paperwork, which read, ‘This experimental vessel has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body, and could result in physical injury, emotional trauma, or death,’” he wrote in a piece published in November detailing the unique experience.Pogue also reported that journey to the Titanic shipwreck was full of hiccups.He said the dive was initially postponed due to the size of the waves and a consolation dive to the Continental Shelf was also scrapped after another technical difficulty.Days later they tried to reach the Titanic again.Pogue explained there was no GPS underwater, so the surface ship is tasked with guiding the sub to the shipwreck by sending text messages.“But on this dive, communications somehow broke down. The sub never found the wreck,” Pogue explained.On a third attempt on their last day at sea, they had a successful dive where they saw the Titanic at the bottom of the ocean.The author and podcaster later said he was hopeful the passengers would survive due to several escape measures.“As we monitor the lost @OceanGateExped sub to the #Titanic, two reasons for hope. First, they have 96 hours of oxygen on board,” he said.“Second, they have SEVEN different ways to rise to the surface — multiple redundant ballast and air-bladder systems.”
Sounds dodgy as fuck.
Only a buck 45 in and done.
I have foil hats for sale, custom made.
You want one, doncha?

Could be... He's been down to the wreckage 33 times, his sub is significantly more sound. His millions are better than the other guys millions I guess.

US navy ‘heard Titan implosion days ago’: entire crew lost
The missing submarine, top, in what is believed to be the last photo of Titan, has been found with the passengers confirmed dead: from left, Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate, British billionaire Hamish Harding, 58, Titanic explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Pakistani-British tycoon Shanzada Dawood, 48, and his son Sulaiman, 19,By JACQUELIN MAGNAY

The Navy began listening for the Titan almost as soon as the sub lost communications, a US defence official told the Wall St Journal. Shortly after the submersible’s disappearance on Sunday, the US system detected what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site and reported its findings to the commander on site, defence officials told the newspaper
“The US Navy conducted an analysis of acoustic data and detected an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost,” a senior US Navy official said in a statement. “While not definitive, this information was immediately shared with the Incident Commander to assist with the ongoing search and rescue mission.”

The five men on board the Titan touring the Titanic wreck died after a catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber of the hull, the US Coast Guard announced early this morning (AEST).
US Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger said the discovery by a remote operated vehicle of a debris field on the seafloor, just 1600 feet (500 meters) from the bow of the Titanic, on Friday morning Australian time, is “consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber” of the missing Titan submersible.
He said families of the five onboard were immediately informed.

Yeah let me pay 250k to hop in a mini sub operated by a fucking video game controller - I would go ahead and write myself off in that case 🤦♀️
