The Titan submersible.

[mickd1961]

From a personal point of view I can’t think of anything much more scary than being in a small pressurised tube 2.4 miles underwater.

It wasn’t until my first MRI scan that I ever suffered claustrophobia, I can’t comprehend how people have the mental resilience to cope with an adventure such as this?

I heard experts saying that they’d have known nothing about their end as it would’ve all happened in a millisecond, that in itself is hard to comprehend……to die instantly in between breaths.

I hope they did, to have had even a few seconds to live and to contemplate if water started to leak in prior to the implosion would be horrific beyond words.

Interesting that non of the people dealing with the tragedy would discuss the retrieval of the bodies, my summation is that any implosion would’ve probably destroyed each body?

A really sobering story this has been for me, I’m actually scared at the thought of cruising and sleeping on a boat, I’ve always feared this more than flying.

PSI is over 6000 times that at the surface of the earth, so no chance they would have known anything.
Now you see it now you don't type of affair.

The psychological impact would have been tough knowing how long they had left to breathe.

If this is a boat going down I can’t watch it.

I’ve never watched the film Titanic, watching a boat sink sends my anxiety through the roof.

Nah, just a typical trip on the Shetland Ferry.

That is funny....

The fascination comes with it's unfortunate "Unsinkable" tag that went out in a 1911 marine engineering magazine when explaining about its new "Electrical" switches that could isolate each below decks compartment.
So much so, that they said it was itself (Titanic) in effect a lifeboat rolled into one.

This clip provides an animated visualisation of the depth Titanic lies at.

As deep as this clearly demonstrates many of the oceans are, it's facsinating to think that if the earth were an apple, the thickness of the skin equates to average sea depths. If you then cut the apple into four quarters, the skin of one of those quarters near enough equates to the earths landmass (29%). Of all the water on the planet freshwater equals just 3% and 75% of that is frozen in the ice caps (I'm full of this sort of rubbish ).

Its chances of sinking were very slim. It had sectioned off lower sections. Was it 4 that would have to be breached? If I remember? The Iceberg punctured 4 areas.
