I've been watching the latest updates on the missing mini-submarine,that was supposed to take tourist's down to the wreck of the Titanic, lying 12,500 feet at the bottom of the Atlantic.
The latest news is the US Coastguard have just reported finding a debris field near the wreck. This suggests that the sub imploded on the way down, and tragically, all five souls were killed. The company that ran these kind of trips:Oceangate, should find itself in serious trouble. The boss of it,ignored warnings from a highly skilled employee about the mini-sub,but he didn't want to hear it,and he fired him.Added to that,they were charging £250000 per trip,which was sheer greed and outrageous.The mini-subs had no safety features like distress or homing Beacons,who knows what else was missing.
We all know what the Titanic looked like,and we all know now what the ship's interior looked like. If people want to explore the wreck, it should always be done with ROV's.Never ever take people down to those kind of depths.Perhaps this might be the end of visiting the infamous wreck site.

Indeed,it was confirmed the sub had imploded on its descent. It was eerie the similarities to the Titanic tragedy, where Captain Smith appeared to ignore some of the ice warnings, and the same was said for Stockton Rush, who also ignored warnings about the Titan's safety. Another tragic loss of life,that could have been so easily avoided. I suppose the only consolation for those five people within the sub when it happened, was that they never felt a thing.
