Coupla questions. What is the duration of the trip and can you see the Titanic from the Ohio River? I have the money.
Clarification needed... "The Titanic" or a "Titanic"... Cause at the bottom of the Ohio river I'm sure something "Titanic" is down there..... But "The Titanic" might be somewhere else.....Coupla questions. What is the duration of the trip and can you see the Titanic from the Ohio River? I have the money.
They can't afford the entry fee..... sticks for Rebel!!!!if they want to pay big money to see rusty metal, they can come here
Much of the cost had already been spent during the initial search process, and once the Odysseus ROV finally located what was left, since it was equipped to do so it made sense to recover whatever pieces it could while it was in the area. Once discovered, the actual recovery process for the mini sub took less time than the actual search and the other ships and aircraft involved were no longer part of the cost process.I caught bits and pieces, seemed like epic failures on many levels do to negligence. My big complaint is why million will reportedly be spent on gathering the wreckage? What a waste of money, I can see if it were a Naval vessel that was attacked or had a major failure that needed to be investigated but a poorly designed private vessel???
I believe @Photon440 nailed it. Follow the money. There will be insurance, lawyers and insurance lawyers involved regardless of the waivers signed. How about Stockton Rush? Did he sign a waiver? He has money and heirs. And I did see something about 'presumed human remains'. This tragedy happened deep beneath the ocean surface and the families will want that closure if it's possible.Much of the cost had already been spent during the initial search process, and once the Odysseus ROV finally located what was left, since it was equipped to do so it made sense to recover whatever pieces it could while it was in the area.

Calling it a "poorly designed private vessel" is easy, but it has to be proved that it was poorly designed, or for that matter it could be a decent design but poorly constructed. It had made the trip down and back in the past, its not like it imploded on the very first try.
Reasons for recovery are multiple; for one, much of mankind's progress has been built on failures. Analyzing what has gone wrong leads to improvements. We all know that the tragedy happened, and now the U.S. Coast Guard (among others) wants to know exactly why it happened. Just like the FAA reconstructs aircraft wreckage to investigate what happened to cause an accident.
It's likely there will be lawsuits, despite waivers having been signed. Having as much physical evidence on hand will be helpful for all parties in pursuing legal action. France, England and the Canadian Transportation Safety Board will all have ongoing investigations and will need to examine as much evidence as possible.
Then there's the chance that bodily remains may have been brought up as well which may help give a sense of closure to the families involved.
Disagree with you dear sir, in so many ways. Having lived on one for 4 years, and "experienced" under water depths & effects of sea pressure on hull & equipment that also is exsposed to those pressures and "subsafe" & "level 1" requirements for submarines, I disagree. If Stockton Rush "GAVE A DAMN", his vessel would have been "CERTIFIED" BEFORE exploration. The oceans are totally different from aviation/aerospace, a 1mm hole in a sub, especially at 12000 feet, then it is in upper atmosphere/space & 0 seconds to respond.Much of the cost had already been spent during the initial search process, and once the Odysseus ROV finally located what was left, since it was equipped to do so it made sense to recover whatever pieces it could while it was in the area.

Thanks for your input based on experience and years of service, I work with an ex-submariner and it's certainly an interesting life.Disagree with you dear sir, in so many ways.

"Closure for Family" will NEVER happen for those on Thresher (1963) and Scorpion (1968) my dear @Photon440
That’s exactly what I was saying early on in the thread. The Navy knew Sunday it when boom. With their listening possibilities, they can tell you when a whale farts in what ocean and most likely what type of whale! They knew![/URL]
Back in the late 70's I got a chance to spend some time at the Guam Acoustic Range Facility... Those guys listened to everything that happened in the ocean... They could tell you by the sound what ships were in the area, how many screws were turning, all sorts of details.... They also had audio equipment record labels would be envious of... One of my buddies was in a band, that got him connected with the members of the US Navy band... Which got him connected with the guys at the acoustic range... Which got me a chance to go check it out....
Read about "Project Azorian" & the K129...

So, Why wasn’t it reported then rather than an entire weeks worth of utter bullshit? We all know!
Regardless of the reason, it’s reprehensible to keep those families on the edge for that long knowing what took place and using it for self serving needs!
