OTTAWA – A small submarine carrying tourists to legendary wreckage – the Titanic – has gone missing off the east coast of Canada, local media reported yesterday, reported Xinhua.
The submarine was reported missing after it was overdue by a couple of hours Sunday evening 370km off the coast of Newfoundland in the east of Canada, according to media reports.
It is not clear how many people were on board and a rescue operation is currently underway, reports said.
Although the expedition departed from Canada, the Titanic wreck lies within the jurisdiction of the US Coast Guard’s Boston fleet.
OceanGate Expeditions, a US-based company, ran the trip to the Titanic. It uses a five-person submersible named Titan to reach the wreckage 3,800m below the surface. OceanGate’s website advertises a seven-night voyage to the Titanic for US$250,000 (RM1.15 mil) per person with the money raised by tourists going towards Titanic research, local media reported. – Bernama, June 20, 2023

All the rich guys on board signed waivers that they understood and accepted the risks.
ReplyDeleteAlmost certainly no survivors at that depth. It's one of those situations where if something bad happens, the chances of survival are practically Nil.
Been wondering why KT featured this particular article, incident...obviously the incident was pretty unusual...however, do curious as to why this got picked up and featured.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea but know that it was all over the internet and msm.
Is there a focus shift with this story?
owner ignored consultant's advice that safety was neglected
DeleteKT, if ever this -> https://t.me/thelaurenchen/2059 is to ever get reported in the mainstream media, I have no doubt you will post it up as part of the series of raging underwater story.
DeleteSurely, there are more to this...but it sure is fun to pickup stuffs from amongst the internet by way. It was a WTF, kiddos driving real submarine remotely like in video games because of inclusivity? Surely is not...
There is the ongoing bud lite beer freefall, target chainstore going off-target, even at giant disney, the old ceo had to return for the guy who replaced him because of big time wokeism...
"If Hunter pleads guilty ..
ReplyDeleteHe can no longer plead the 5th anymore .. He'd have already plead guilty ..
He may be forced to testify to congressional investigators about his foreign corruption schemes using financial records from this case ..
That would bring the entire Biden Crime Family to it's knees
Lets see how this plays out

A recent comment from a US commentator...so, just how vast and deep are the reaches of the BCF? MY got?
There are places in the internet where people collect every possible digitally reported happenings and info and anyone can pick them up, anonymously, with references, to see an emerging picture.
ReplyDeleteSo, the question is, why would someone block the use of a rescue equipment which can do the job for something that cannot even reach it?

British rescue mission for Titan ‘blocked by US officials’
Remotely operated vehicle capable of winching submersible out of the Atlantic waiting to leave airport in Channel Islands
A remotely operated vehicle capable of winching the stricken submersible Titan out of the Atlantic has been blocked from joining the rescue mission by the US government, The Telegraph understands.
A team from deepwater specialists Magellan Limited has been waiting to leave an airport in the Channel Islands since 7pm on Monday, but approval for take-off has yet to be received.
The Guernsey-based firm produced the first full-sized digital scan of the Titanic last summer, the largest underwater project of its kind as two submarines put together 700,000 images of the wreck.
Bretton Hunchak, former president of RMS Titanic, Inc, which collaborated with Magellan, says the company has essential equipment and expertise to help locate OceanGate’s Titan submersible that went missing on a dive to the wreck of the luxury passenger liner, which sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in April 1912.
But despite receiving apparent clearance from the Ministry of Defence to leave UK airspace, the American government has allegedly yet to authorise the team’s request to join rescuers 435 miles south of St John’s, Newfoundland.
Mr Hunchak said US officials have indicated they would prefer to use a New York-based vessel capable of exploring 3,000m below water, whereas Magellan’s can plunge depths of up to 5,000m.
He added Magellan’s remotely operated vehicle was unique in that it was likely the only asset available to have a winch capable of dragging submersibles from the depths of the ocean. It can also detect signals and send them above the surface.
Thanks for heads-up - have published your message tho' via Insider
