We have pics of the Titanic wreck, so clearly someone has been down there before? How did they live to tell the tale?

Those pics were taken with a remote rover.

Certainly most footage is from non-manned vessels. But manned submersibles have been down there too.

Then how did we get artifacts?

I think the first to take photos was an unmanned sub. But there have been manned subs, like Alvin, which is a spherical sub made out of titanium. The lost titan is different because it’s a tourist sub, not made by a huge research institution like Wood’s hole like Alvin.

Many submersibles have gone down there. Even Titan has gone down before and returned.

Then why is everyone like "OMG THIS IS SO DUMB FOR PEOPLE TO GO" if people have been before

People have been down there the same way these people tried to get there. The Titan had been down there before, too.

Makes sense. Thank you.

Robotic arms. But there have been plenty of people down there in submersibles. One guy on Titan had been down 35 times

Pp- adding that Alvin is the sub with mechanical arms to reach and grab stuff. You may have seen photos of it, it’s the one that discovered a lot of deep sea creatures

Then why can't one of the subs like Alvin go down and get them.

Because it’s still terribly risky. Particularly with a company like ocean gate

Okay then why didn't Alvin go down and look for them?!

They may have been but everyone who watched Titanic when it came out knows James Cameron has been down there plenty of times. And he’s not the only one.

Alvin can’t lift the Titan. And they’d need to find it.

Because the vessel is sketchy AF.

If ever you want someone to die, pay for them to go on one of these submarine adventures. It will be a forever bon voyage.
