It was the main communication boat not the sun that was on eBay.What could go wrong with a sub that was once up for auction on Ebay?

Titanic sub is like a 'kit car built from Amazon parts'
Former UK admiral Chris Parry described the small craft, named Titan, as 'very flimsy and fragile' - as a journalist who sat inside claimed has lights from a camping shop.www.dailymail.co.uk
Hell of a time to be having an orgy.Not sure this story is legit as I haven't seen it confirmed elsewhere:
"A CANADIAN AIRCRAFT searching for the missing Titan submersible, which failed to return Sunday from an expedition to the wreckage of the Titanic, detected “banging” in 30-minute intervals coming from the area the divers disappeared, according to internal e-mail updates sent to Department of Homeland Security leadership and obtained by Rolling Stone."

This seems to be legit. I’ve seen many other reports they were hearing banging every 30 minutes.Not sure this story is legit as I haven't seen it confirmed elsewhere:

How would they even bring it to the surface? I thought I read the submarines that have the ability to go deep don’t have that ability? Maybe just depends on how deep it is.Just doesn’t seem like there would be enough time at this point to bring it to the surface before the clock ran out. That’s assuming they’ve even found it, which apparently they haven’t.
My thought as well, and even if they find it, then need to attach to a cable and bring to the surface which may not even be possible depending on where it isJust doesn’t seem like there would be enough time at this point to bring it to the surface before the clock ran out. That’s assuming they’ve even found it, which apparently they haven’t.
I just looked up; they are not here at the moment.Good point they’re probably on Honduras turnt up on tequila and blow with hookers everywhere at some compound laughing at the news.
According to a family member who specializes in corporate defense, waivers can be effective in a defense and/or complicate recovery. They won't stop a suit outright. One key is that the person who signs one must fully understand a waiver (be required to get an attorney to review it). However, if the facts are bad enough (gross negligence, etc.), a waiver is worthless.And yes those death waivers end up being useless. When I was a parasail captain we made everyone sign waivers but if anything bad happened they weren’t worth a thing.

Yup all this speculation and I think the end result is inevitable - sad but trueIt’s awful but this late in the game it’s going to be a loss of them all minus a miracle. There is legitimately no way to bring that thing up.
Even if they had a week I don’t think they could get down there attach a cable and pull it all the way up in time.
Very little time left. The only hope now is they find it trapped or entangled and can free it with a robotic ROV allowing the sub to rise by itself.Yup all this speculation and I think the end result is inevitable - sad but true
I’d be way more surprised if they found it than if they didn’t.The Malaysian jet was never found, looking like they may never find this sub either. I have to believe there was some kind of catastrophic event 2 hours into the descent, may have died instantly on Sunday but may never know
I thought some debris from the flight did wash up on the shore, so there is at least some physical evidence that it crashed into the ocean.The Malaysian jet was never found
I was just discussing this with someone. Is it possible, that these 5 wanted to disappear, and what better way than to a place your body can't be recovered from (to see that you aren't there). I'm not saying I think this is what happened, just putting out there the possibility. Seems as believable as putting your life at risk in this jerry-rigged contraption.If I’m ever a billionaire looking to fake my own death and disappear, hiring a shady submarine deep sea exploration company to add me to the manifest has skyrocketed up the list.
1500 vs 5, I wouldn’t call this a “major sea tragedy”, I’d bet 100+ Cubans die a year trying to get to the Keys.So can we say the Titanic is cursed?
2 major sea tragedies involving it.
I"m not a lawyer but from what I've seen in business, those types of waivers are typically worthless in cases like this. From what has been posted above this sounds like a product liability case on steroids.
I’m not disputing that - just saying sometimes there’s things that are “cursed” - and I guess the threshold I’m using as major is the amount of coverage it’s getting like when the space challenger exploded.1500 vs 5, I wouldn’t call this a “major sea tragedy”, I’d bet 100+ Cubans die a year trying to get to the Keys.
Humans naturally want to push boundaries. We want to chase things.Gotcha that makes sense. I don’t think it’s cursed but that’s fun to think about, I just think that humans aren’t ready to be 2 miles undersea and if you try it good chance you won’t make it back. Really it all boils down to common sense and practicality. This was a dumb choice, plain and simple.
I think a lot of the time, as has been mentioned, billionaires have a sense of invincibility because they’ve been able to do whatever they want with basically zero repercussions for years if not decades.
Why take your 19 year old son with you?Humans naturally want to push boundaries. We want to chase things.
Billionaires have everything. No financial worries. They can travel anywhere. They probably have no trouble getting the spouse they want. They can donate anywhere. Buy and build a dream home. They have no challenges.
So what else? They're going to try the impossible.
I hope the viewport failed or similar. That way, they probably never knew what hit them.Wasn’t it that if not found by now they’re dead? If that’s the case I hope it was more an underwater failure and instant death than anything prolonged.
