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.

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


Because the vessel is sketchy AF.

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.

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



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

Those pics were taken with a remote rover.


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.

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

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

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

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

Makes sense. Thank you.

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

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