It's 0600 EDT as I type this. This time was the projected "best case scenario " for their oxygen supply.
This whole company and operation sounds like a really expensive way to fuck around and find out.
I hope this is a valuable learning experience for him
He'll be sitting there tapping on the hull and freezing his ass off thinking "I'm sure glad I didn't spend any of my millions on a second backup sub." Redundancy is for losers.
Paywall, anyone got the text?
You need.... :)

Goddamn this site feels like the beginning of reddit all over again
I think we're on a better footing than the dumpsterfire that was Voat
Thanks! Will try to get them to work on mobile later.
Thank you for this

Pogue read aloud from a passenger waiver he signed before riding in the craft that described the Titan as an “experimental submersible vessel that has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body and could result in physical injury, disability, emotional trauma or death.”
I can imagine that all voyages like that have a clause regarding inury/death, but the part about not being approved/certified really should ring your bells..
This is going to sound heartless as hell, but I hope they bill the company and the estates of the passengers for the costs of the rescue effort.
This whole premise, going in a submersible to visit the Titanic, is such a completely unnecessary risk to take, that I have trouble having any sympathy for anyone involved.
It's not like they were going to have any more of an experience than they would via a submersible rover. They can't get out of the sub and walk around and touch things. The most they could do is look out a porthole and get a view no different than they'd get from a remote camera. This was just a completely pointless waste by people with more money then sense.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.
