#NBCNews #Titanic #Submersible
I wonder what happened to the submarines communications and GPS systems? No deployable distress beacon? As far as knocking on the walls they should be knocking in S.O.S pattern. What’s going on? Either they were captured or destroyed by someone or thing. I hope they make it! *(To S.O.S for help in sunken sub, Knock or signal 3x slowly then 3x fast then 3x slowly. In morse code it looks like _ _ _ … _ _ _ this will help rescuers find you!)*
Why is it that whenever these extreme adventures don’t go well, we’re expected to rescue them from their own idiocy?
That’s what we do every day in ICUs all over the world. Most transplants are necessary because of own Idiocy (tobacco, alcohol, overnutrition) 💟
its the code of conduct at sea to help if a rescue is possible but this one also has other implications and could be learned from as the guy in this video said it would still be good to find the vessel to know what went wrong.
the ceo didn’t want to hire 50 year old white men even though they had the experience and expertise. Now, woke nonsense may have cost lives.
There are submersibles that can go much deeper than 12,500 feet, even twice that amount, but they are all round shaped and made of metal. See James Cameron’s Deep Sea Challenge. The more I learn about the Titan, the more problems I see. Even the color of it is bad. On a windy day, half the ocean is white. Why not neon orange?
Well the woke CEO now gets to enjoy his grave, no need for expertise, did not want old white guys, fully a DEI cult member and wanted inspirational people….and yes sheep, all facts his own words
Ok
Everyone listen up this is now a body recovery operation.
We’re going to hope we can find the corpses
Why would anyone choose to be confined in such a small space with four other people and go 2.5 miles below sea level, I get that it’s something spectacular but the chances of coming back up again were blatantly minimal in such a vessel as this, it’s the 19 year old that my heart breaks for 💔
I just wish we could flip this tragedy. Turn it into a positive.
You know make money from it?
The fact that Stockton’s wife is the great-great granddaughter of Titanic victims makes this so much more eerie. I’m not a religious person, but i’m praying for a miracle.
Have drones that are equipped with self inflating lifting balloons that can attach itself to the ship …..
Instead of living fabulously, perhaps not having to work, or what I would do (🎮 🍺) the rich instead give themselves terrible deaths…
The Titanic is a graveyard, not a tourist attraction 😢
Let those people die in peace never to be seen again, what a waste of time and money. Those people on that soup can died because of being ignorant and uneducated.
GPS ?
Honestly after the first day down there with no contact I would have depressurized the vessel and attempted my chances of floating to the surface with the oxygen tanks. Sounds stupid considering the weight and nothing to assist with pulling me up. The pressure of the water near the ocean floor coupled with carrying the oxygen tank would probably suffocate me but at least there’s a chance my body would be found. What’s silly is sitting constrained on a small vessel in the abyss hoping to be found. This is a horrible way to die.
I wish them the best, but what was the point of risking life & limb (just to be nosey)??!
If there still alive, they’re running out of air right now. Dr. Jules has some bad compression on his voice.
Billionairs panic just like poor people. They also shiver just like poor people. Panic and shivering are enemies of oxygen.
You pay $200,000 for that? 😂
Everyone should know the signal for S.O.S. In Mores code. It’s 3 short pulses, followed by 3 long pulses, finished with 3 short pulses.
Pulses, knocks, flashes, etc.
Thank you. I’ll try to remember.
How is knowing how cramp inside is going to help those people. And another thing, why is there no type of transponder or gps on board. Where are the back up protocols to ensure safety. Why is it taking so long to find them. When oxygen is depleted lets see how long it will take to find them. I’m guessing not too long after that.
Hear those noises yet havent sent anything down. When they lost contact within the first hour and we all know they were heading towards the titanic. Slacking at it’s finest 4 days later when they all dead now.
Short brutal version: None.
i just want to say ,thank you to NBC for letting this man talk,ive watched bbc interupt that man that was a journalist andhappen to go onto that sub and went to the titanic and got stuck for an hjour until they were abnle to get free,she stopped him from talking,why? i have no idea,but he was saying while weeping,how he now feels like he is spiritually connected to these 5 people because of it,but she didnt let him finish,stopped him in his tracts,how rude is that? but this anchor letthis nice gentleman talk,i loved it,thank you NBC.and thank you DR.JULES JAFFE,i hope someone listens to what your suggesting because it makes alot of sense,so yes,again thank you all.
Sure…and it’s medevial times not being able to radar the ocean….plus let us remember about te experts who…are still thinking about the sounds that were captured….
…and French are around 38hours away….so stop putting the theory up…Action instead of talking. Action….
I can’t belive we just let them die.
What’s really making me sick is all the people making a joke out of this now . I can’t believe people find this funny . Maybe they are too stupid of conceptualize what is exactly going on and what these ppl are experiencing .
No one said, oh first thing Id do,is pray,what a shame
this interviewer is asking great questions
Great interview
This mini sub should have safety protocols inside like oxygen tanks, rations and first aid kit.
It was a experiment 😮, the titanic wants to be left alone
Such a Tragedy! Prayers for the Rescue of these people.
This is hilarious, you could ask ANY military or Veteran submariner about his setup and they would laugh about how dude will definitely die via rapid decompression (if they’re lucky), or another horrific accident if they’re truly unlucky.
The moment I heard that this IDIOTIC Billionaire made his sub out of titanium alloy, I knew this fool was dead.
A question for people who actually have knowledge: do you think the people tank auto-ignited?
Wow, he explained everything in a way that makes sense. I know it’s a long shot, but I hope they are found safe and sound.
Am i the only one hoping these rich snobs don’t make it? Or am I just highly intelligent?
Let’s be honest here these poor people are most likely passed on from cold and lack of O2 so even if you bring them up I don’t think they will have survived 😮
Libs: a black man committed a crime then resisted police then died, he didn’t deserve this, bigots!
Also libs: rich people should be crushed in a sub for….being rich.
I couldn’t imagine the conditions in the vessel. Days of human waste and no real circulation.
God bless them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen
at this point, i honestly wish these news whores would stop repeating this story ad nauseum. these people are most likely dead and floating through the ocean never to be found. i think it is gross to keep reporting this story, repeating, repeating, repeating the same sadness just for clicks and ratings. how many ways can you say, we don’t know where it is and if it will ever be found?????
The only thing left to do is send the widows a bill!
Why would they not fit a tracker or pinger or something, i mean a fricking apple tag thing would be better than nothing surely🤔🤷🏼♂️
What he’s talking about brings to mind the carbon fibre issues both Boeing and Airbus struggled with in their respective airplanes.
Another very hard and painful lesson about money and greed. This was more of an undersea tourist destination/experience. The safety reasons that were of a concern have been written about recently. Do your research properly and decide whether to trust the source or not. I do hope these people will be found and found alive but hope for that is extremely slim.
He got it exactly right it’s sad and it is tragic but just like the challenger we will go back into the depth of the ocean with just more regulation
Now some people have turned this to a conspiracy theory. Come on that’s ridiculous, if you think it’s fake then ignore it and go about your life? Clearly millions are being spent trying to rescue these real people with real families waiting for them
AA. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; B. Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. C. Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. D. Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Fround Submarine all Dead
😂
I guess a foolish adventure and the life of the participants are soon parted!
They’re dead. I don’t understand the fuss over a handful of rich risk takers.
We all live in a yellow submarine I hate the stupid thing I wanna paint it green.
Could a whale swallow vessel?!!! I’ve never seen a whale upclose!
they dead R.I.P
I am very certainly interested in knowing what credentials this expert has because if he had any brains at all he would know this thing imploded long-ago days ago these people are all dead and the shards are going to certainly be a bad thing for the fish life and other life-forms down there this was a disaster from the start more billionaire b*******
THESE BILLIONAIRE JOKING WITH DEATH … THEY SEEMED STUPID TO ME… 🙄 😮😮
THE SUB LOOK LIKE A SQUID 🐙
Ocean gate to death 🙄🤮🥹
THEY ALL GONE FOR GOOD…AND YOU NEVER FIND THEM …
This is the real mission impossible
If they survive, how long before the MOVIE
Soso sad it hurts🙏🙏💔😤💔
As I said! they are dead
It’s very hard for this guys to have oxygen by this moment😢
Why not buy a Submarine if they are going to make this a tourist Attraction
Even the fishes do not go so deep.
This is insanity
It is both tragic and fascinating to delve into the realm of knowledge that exposes the grim reality of inherent risks and the alarming absence of adequate safety protocols. While the magnitude of the tragedy can be overwhelming, there is an undeniable allure in unraveling the intricacies of such circumstances and understanding the profound lessons they offer. It serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for prioritizing safety measures and implementing robust protocols to prevent future calamities.
Spiffing
Rfam
😮😮😮😢
Debris founded with in half kilometre of titanic debri and searchers were looking somewhere else, does it make sense???
God that’s a coincidence.
Oceans gate taking them down to to heavens gate
Is this the maiden voyage for OceanGate?
Not all is as it appears. James Cameron did an interview about this missing sub and the whole Titanic thing. Basically he and several dozen other experts knew immediately what had happened to that submarine and as soon as it happened. Also, indisputably knew exactly where it was – at the last point of contact on the bottom. They heard it blow up and saw it on the bottom in the very first scan. Why did they search for 7 days and call in dozens of ships, military and civilian, to cover a 10,056 square mile search area? Let me tell you why, they weren’t looking for THAT submarine, they were looking for the K-329 Belgorod, and that’s a big freakin’ deal.
The Belgorod is the newest Russian nuclear submarine and the largest in commission. It also carries the very latest in Russian strategic nuclear weapons (big ones) and launched late last year on its maiden voyage to the North Atlantic for weapons testing. It was last spotted in February.
The Titanic was only 1,300 miles from New York when it sank, in the North Atlantic…very easily within that 10,056 mile search area.
In 1978 the US secretly converted a commercial ship into a makeshift recovery boat in order to raise a sunken Russian submarine K-129. This was the deepest recovery mission ever attempted (that we know about) and was partially successful, they got part of it.
In 1985 Robert Ballard found the Titanic after the US Navy hired him to find two missing nuclear submarines, USS Scorpion and USS Thresher, in the North Atlantic, both of which had sank in the 1960’s.
Right now Russia is pretty tied up, it’s Navy isn’t really too involved but it’s not hard to imagine if this thing went down that the US would be able to get there first. I’m sure that the one sub going down was a tragic accident but the Navy jumped to take full advantage of the situation.
Stop lying they are already dead since Sunday. You news people are dragging this out.
TEARS !!
Tears are the raindrops of the soul
And there’s one for all who die.
They are the silent words of grief
As they fall free from the eye.
The shortest verse in the Bible
Is the one where Jesus wept
If you hold back tears, shed them
When your pain’s too harsh to accept.
Tears are lovelier than a smile
When they come from those you love
As they seek relief from sadness
When you’re summoned from above.
Tears are a love-mates humble gift
When it’s time to say goodbye
Though the eyes are wet and swollen
With time and patience they dry.

How’s that going?
Who cares they r dead so I say next
This aged like ocean pancakes
The only man that makes sense in all this incident. Every one was in the “I told them mode”. But this man talked lots of really important points. One of them was wether the submersible was doing stress test every time it goes down and back. And he did a good analogy either challenger. People was saying ow it should have been certified, it should have been this that ….Well NASA spend billions of dollars on its space program but lot of catastrophic explosion that results in lot of fatalities.
This thing was set up by the deep state in order to cover hunter biden trial!
I wonder if there are any logbooks from previous trips. I would like to see a better back up plan!!!! I would want the odds in my favor.
Real « experts » knew there was no chance….especially after the « bang » recorded by the US Navy at the time of loosing connection .
How’s that working out?
