Mike Reiss said on one dive he took in OceanGate's Titan submersible, they returned to the surface as soon as they lost communication.

At first I thought "Why not connect the sub using a cable to a ship on the surface for communication?" Then I thought "Oh wait, it's 2.5 miles down, no ship could carry that much cable." Then I read about an unmanned sub on the ship L'Atalante: It has grappling arms that could have retrieved the Titan (had it been intact), and it's connected to the mother ship by FIVE MILES of cable.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
