Been thinking too, dawood is also involved with the SETI project.
I had to think about the private space Industrie as a comparison to the private deep sea endeavors.
Only thing I could think of, is that this will discourage inventors and investors alike.
Occams razor is probably right, money and stupidity is the most likely cause.
Still, hunt for red October, and watch the water, do ring a bell...

Very interesting. I've always believed this was a hoax due to insurance scam and a lot of other factors I've read throughout the years. Did anyone else read this whole thing? I like this idea more than anything else. I don't trust the rich or the powers in control at all, never have.

My first thought were any of the names on the Epstein logs or emails. Next, Biden or Clinton's. Then I thought, people associated with Trump. Then realized that sometimes people make stupid stupid mistakes.
If I wanted Inspirational stories, I would want old people who were still in love with exploration and more importantly experience driving a submarine.
But hey, that is just me.

I think it’s the cabal trying to get us to be scared of water. It will reduce population because of dehydration.
Snarky, yet sub-par humor. I expected better from you.

It's a classic example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. The co-founder of OceanGate, Stockton Rush, thought he was smart enough to design a beyond-the-state-of-the-art submersible on the cheap. When his advisors--who had more experience than he did--tried to point out the problems with his approach, he insisted he was right, they were wrong, and he fired them.
As Dirty Harry once said, "A man's got to know his limitations".

So I'm expected to believe a Billionaire, who presumably has a track record of "good" decision making, decided to get on a submersible that wasn't tested?
This narrative is insulting my intelligence. I wouldn't get on a submersible that hasn't been depth tested... It imploded from the pressure of the sea.
Explorer or not; what's the point in being INSIDE the submersible? The submersible was tiny; why go down there when you still can't see anything, and have to use the same tools as you would if you sent it unmanned?
No parts of this story actually track; and to sit there and say "Incompetence!" when you're talking about billionaire's that couldn't exist if they were incompetent -- and calling them low IQ by trying to blame the dunnin-krugger effect is preposterous.

The snarkiness of some of the people on this site kind of puts me off reading it. That and the belief in aliens etc. But much less so the latter.
I was at one point a believer, but consistent snarkiness ( I am sure you will be able to find one or two examples of me being snarky, but consistently no) was dumb to me even back then.
Be excellent to each other. Or, at least go see someone and explain where the bad man hurt you, before you project your obvious inner pain onto others.
Caveat - not saying I'm not dumb now.

This post lowered my IQ minimum 37 points. Too "Snarky" for you?
You realize that sarcasm is a form of humor. You're saying that you would swear off a public forum with interesting and diverse topics and potentially world view forming discussion because some of the people who also participate are "sarcastic" -- yeah?
I bet you're the super fun one at the family gathering.
Not smart by your own admission. Not fun by your own admission. I guess that must make you a useless eater; I think the NWO are trying to kill you mate.
What's wrong with believing in Aliens? If you think aliens are ridiculous, but god is fine -- God is an Alien by definition. Non-Terrestial being not from the planet earth...
So you must be godless then too?
HEATHEN!

How doea a sub implode????? Is it from the weight/pressure of the water above? If so, what could lead to an implosion? loose bolt kinda thing? or microscopic crack in the hull?? im genuinly asking!
a reply to: Kreeate
I saw a comment about one of the persons in the sub was the owner of the company that just lost 6k tons of ammonium nitrate.
Shahzada Dawood Dawood was the vice chairman of Engro, a Pakistani energy investment company, and the Dawood Hercules Corp., an investment and holdings firm. He had expertise in mergers and acquisitions in companies across industries, such as textiles, fertilizers, foods and energy.
The 5 men who were aboard the wrecked Titan sub loved adventures — and taking risks

The navy reported it on Sunday when they picked up the sound of the implosion on their equipment. It was reported to Biden and the White House, but they sat on it to distract from the Hunter Biden sweetheart deal. Pathetic.

How about this bunch of five has decided to 'vanish' from public life. Get away imitating their deaths.
Put some explosives into that sub, get on another sub that was waiting for them near by, send Titan down, push the button blow that sub under water and them drift away safely on another sub. That's the only explanation I have while learning about Titan being so unprepared for submerge.

Anyone know if there is any truth to this? If there is, that would be huge!
