[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-06-19 I was trolling through the news tonight and saw something that doesn’t seem to be getting a lot of attention. True, it’s not political or maybe even something the world would be riveted to…but… maybe they should be. My opinion anyway. Apparently Scientists, Researchers, Adventurers and people who have a bit of money can go on expeditions to the wreckage of the Titanic. If you have $250K at minimum to shell out it would be amazing to go 13,000 feet underwater and see that. It’s always fascinated me. And torn at my heart for all the people who died there over 100 years ago. On Sunday morning one of those expeditions launched. With the submersible pilot and 4 others on board. A Briton Adventurer/Explorer, A French Diver and A member of the board of the SETI Institute in California and his son who are Pakistani. This list is according to reports and family members. 1 hour and 45 minutes into the dive, the surface ship lost contact with the submersible. It takes about 2 hours to reach the Titanic wreckage. They would have up to 96 hours of emergency air in this sub. As of now there is a massive search going on for them involving the US Coast Guard and the Canadian Coastguard as well. Both surface and underwater/sonar. My heart and thoughts go out to the families waiting to hear any bit of news about their loved ones. There is a live feed on CNN. No actual article yet as it’s an evolving and changing event at this point. I just thought I’d post this as an informative piece. Our world is so fascinating and people take risks to explore it everyday.
