The Titan 4000M Submersible

That's sad knowing those people who were in the ship that was in the atlantic ocean all died the same spot where the titanic sits may they rest in peace
 
It may be balancing the karma of the injustice that occurred when the Titanic went down. I saw the exhibit when it was in Memphis back in the 80's (I think), and the last thing the tour presented was a tall wall of dark ocean blue, and it had painted on it the names of the dead, by class, and steerage must have been 80% of them.

They were kept from even coming on the deck where the evacuation to lifeboats was taking place. Soooo many were launched with only half full loads, whiile HUNDREDS of women and children were prevented from rising to the decks to escape, by White Star staff.

Damn the First Class mentality, then and now.

How many dead billionaires at the bottom of the Atlantic are enough? Not enough yet.
 
My 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Maynor, made many warnings of a future filled with "adult children", living but never learning.

Here is the infamous CBS Sunday Morning video of correspondent David Pogue's experience at OceanGate - Exhibit A.

It's a mass grave. I just don't know of any other mass grave where anyone visits it as an adventure/entertainment/recreation rather than remembrance or reverence for the humanity lost.

No amount of disclaimers makes this not tourism.

"Titanic Mystery"? Hardly. We know all too well why it sank and why over 1500 souls perished needlessly.

Who else celebrates hubris and folly?
 
Taking reservations now for a one time expedition to survey the wreckage of the Titanic submersible.

We will be descending in an Elon Musk designed telephone booth secured with duct tape and waterproof Band-Aids (NOT NexCare adhesive bandages. They never stay on) where you will be able to observe as the salvage crew collects the remains of the sub with cheesecloth.

Tickets are $7.50 apiece and since it's a phone boothe, we will be hotboxing it up down there, so bring some Funyuns and Doritos.

And don't worry! Fabs and his magical seaferring crocks will be standing by on the surface in a rowboat, although he will probably be busy soliciting any Navy ships that pass by and may have his mouth full of cock if anything should go wrong, so bring a raincoat just in case.
 
As leader of the 1985 expedition team that found the Titanic wreck site, Bob Ballard talked about unmanned ROV's equipped with high-intensity lighting and high-resolution cameras remotely exploring the Titanic and keeping the wreckage intact for posterity and as an honor to all who died when the ship sank.

Technology that enables NASA rovers to send pictures from the surface of Mars was to be adapted for detailed mapping of the Titanic on the ocean floor.

What a tragedy the International Agreement on the RMS Titanic couldn't stop the unwise, and wealthy, from doing the foolish.

It may be a good time to inject that the world order was never successful in stopping whaling, elephant or rhino poaching, or the use of mines. Notions of being able to control bad actors are born in Utopian fiction.

What about all the American tourists traipsing around Westminster Abbey?
 
Valid point, except that it is primarily a monument, intended for homage, pilgrimage, and even worship.

I had no idea Americans were the only visitors to the Abbey though. Noted.

Although British history is at times cataclysmic, I wouldn't deem the Abbey as the site of a disaster.

The site of the Twin Towers also falls into this category, but again, it is a declared monument of memorial.

And yes, the tourists in the sub could be of such a mind, but it just doesn't seem plausible, being 2.5 miles down. It just seems like the enterprise has been for bragging rights, a status symbol in a world where so many millionaires exist that it become ever-increasingly difficult to flaut the conspicuous consumption of experiences, like near-earth space flights.

That's not what I said! Americans are some of the most ill-informed visitors though. I was stopped by an American lady outside Westminster tube station last year who was asking for directions. I was happy to help, but amazed when she said she thought the Elizabeth Tower of the Palace of Westminster (commonly, if erroneously, referred to as Big Ben) was Westminster Abbey. Buckminster Castle writ large.
 
No, but it is the implication that Americans are singularly uninformed about the Abbey. There are plenty of tourists at every tourist site, woefully ignorant of the history of the site. It's simply on a list of mandatory stops. Tourists at Westminster Abbey made the point about graves as tourism. American tourists made it suddenly a nationalist attack instead of a behavioral note.
 
Interesting and telling that 500 refugees died on a boat a few days before, but 5 people in a toy sub got all the media attention.

FFS.

Yep. Some things never change. They just get worse.
