[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once past the window of this being a rescue, I do not see the value in attempting to bring the Titan back to the surface.

Unless the families are willing to pay for the recovery efforts, it seems to me that it should be left where it is.

Anyone disagree?  I’m interested in hearing the other side if so. [/quote]

If they could figure out what went wrong perhaps they could solve that problem going forward. Isn't that one reason we investigate accidents?[/quote]

Don't do commercial trips to wreckage 12K feet under the surface of the ocean in unapproved vessels. Problem solved. [/quote]

Ok. But we did non-commercial flights to space for decades. This is how we learn. [/quote]

The government does non-commercial underwater research just like it did space flight. If you want to do that research and have government involvement in diagnosing your screwups, go to work for the government. If you want freedom from the constraints of government, investigate your own accidents.

Actually “accident” implies unpredictability, so it’s a misused word here. This was so predictable that the CEO had fired someone for predicting it.[/quote]
