- The chilling final text of a British billionaire trapped inside the Titanic-bound submersible that vanished deep below the water off Newfoundland on Sunday revealed that weather had been bad for sea travel in the days leading up to the trip.
A day before the OceanGate Expeditions-operated sub was launched, renowned world explorer Hamish Harding sent his friend, retired NASA astronaut Colonel Terry Virts, an update on his grand voyage set to drop 12,500 feet overwater to view the famous shipwreck.

As a former submarine sailor, I can assure you that regardless of how bad the weather might be, once you're below 600 feet, the weather on the surface isn't even noticed.
None of them are mentioning the alien base near the wreckage of the Titanic
What are currents like when you get below 600 feet? Are they constant?
@@kjmav10135 We were in a BAD storm off the coast of Washington State and at 600 feet we barely felt any shifting, where as at periscope depth, the boat was rolling 35° side to side. Trust me - at 12,000 feet, you'd feel nothing.
@@arnoldfernbladst3875 Fascinating. and thank you for your service!
@@joshuabacon4564 Yes, it's suspiciously also close to the deep sea tinfoil hat factory. A coincidence? I think not.
Titanic still claiming lives 100 years on. Can we just leave it alone!!
Oddly, I never even thought about it that way. You are absolutely right. I guess the allure of a giant luxury liner is not limited to its service life ABOVE the waves.
Everyone is talking about the game control being the big issue but actually the biggest issue is the lack of safety. Not even a Basic Safety Beacon on board.
The safety of the hull too. It was made out of carbon fiber instead of metallic composition and the CEO relied on audible safety check, which means he would listen for pops or cracks under pressure to detect flaws. That and the porthole (glass window) was not cleared to go deeper than 4,000 feet.
It wouldn’t matter, you can’t get down to them 😂
@@hershekissedso funny. Wanna give my Hershey factory a kiss?
@@newmanboomin5291It was made out of titanium with carbon fiber woven in.
Or tether.
They have used this submersible on several trips. The structure probably became compromised because of the repeated exposure to all that pressure.
That's possible. And, I assume, the longer they're down there, the weaker the vessel gets.
@@Bekka241 Could have imploded or been crushed by now.
Exactly what I'm thinking, sadly.
@@xSevenDevilsxpretty sure that was her point.
Yea something that takes humans down to 13,000 feet has to be maintained and inspected to perfection standards.
It was doomed from the start, that subs crush depth was only 200m deeper than the titanic, that's way to close a margin to even consider going on that particular sub.
Nah it probably could withstand more, and the safety margin was calculated into the max dive depth. They don't say hey this is the absolute max, it could be 5-10% more than than that based on whatever margin they used.
@OH Snap crush depth is max, there is no 5-10% for error. Pressure at that depth isn't forgiving.
@nightmarestitcher474 did they say crush depth? Or is it rated for that depth? Big difference, all I've seen it say that it's the maximum depth, which could mean anything. I've worked on industrial equipment for a long time, if let's say a construction hoist has a max capacity of weight, the machine can take more than that, we even test it with 120% weight to make sure the brakes can still work with it overloaded, but the maximum is still below that point. That's because of saftey margins incorporated in the desgin. 13000 ft could be just the safety margin, it more than likely be able to go further down without losing structural integrity, they just use 13000 to make sure your not actually testing the actual limit where the danger actual is
They use dollarama urinals and an Xbox controller
Way TOO close a margin. TOO has an excess of Os, and is used to denote excess. That's how you remember to use TOO or TO.
This isn't clickbait at all, no way. Thank you, New York Post, for this hard hitting journalism that absolutely was not a waste of time.
That's not a chilling text.
Ummm... did you notice the channel name? They have become incredibly unreliable over the years. Strictly a cash grab...
@@Look_What_You_Did "Ummm" 🤓. That's called 'clickbait', and no, they have not become a cash gram unreliable source at all.
Clickbait headlines ALWAYS work.
A chilling text would have been "Can I get a refund?"
these fake news channels thrive on click bait. It's the only way people will show up for their propaganda programming session!
Why are people still looking at a boat that sank years ago? Looking for the dead?
Because the heart will go on
They're titanic enthusiasts
It's history...I'd love to see it but I'll stick with videos
Because the Titanic has legendary status as the most famous shipwreck of all time. It's a check off the bucket list for the rich. And in this case, the last thing on the list...
Bragging rights
It''s a goner. Something went terribly wrong. Otherwise the submersible could have been emitting pings to the mothership and shot off emergency buoys with sonar and RF blaring SOS.

@@microscopic.caterpillDamn …actually kind of eerie
F that.... so scary
At 13,000 feet, the pressure is 15,750 lbs. per square inch. If there was a hull breach, the water would hit that submersible like an axe hitting an aluminum can. The people inside would die instantly. There is no light, and the temperature is sub-freezing. The submersible would slowly fall to the bottom mud. Recovery would require locating the thing first, discerning it from other debris using side scan sonar would be extremely difficult. Then they would have to hook it and slowly cable it to the surface.
And I believe it was the only sub of it's kind. So there's not another to go look.
@@onegurl9no one's gonna go down there anyway 😂. These dudes knew what could happen. I say let em RiP and move on after tomorrow.
It's 5000 not 15000
They could find the rest with another 3d scan like the one they made a couple weeks back
“The weather has been bad.” That should have been your cue to exit and not go down. Some people have more money than sense. We have seen so many images of the wreckage, what was the point? Smh
Hmm surface weather doesn't matter much to a sub once it's out of the surface waves, does it?
Listen carefully. They said that the weather had BEEN bad, and they had been waiting. (I am left to assume for a break in the weather.)
@@julianbrelsfordgenuinely curious , wouldn't it affect currents ? I always thort tht would be the case but I know close to 0 about the ocean
The point was I have money. I can. I can do things others can't (separate from whether I should). Last year flying into space on a fledgling rocket start up. Next year 5 miles down in a research grade submarine to see the same thing I can see from my sofa. The difference? Exclusivity. I can say "I was there... Not just that i've seen it, but I was actually there. I get the whole adventurer's spirit and all but this makes no kind of sense. And for folks saying weather topside has no bearing on the operation... Are you daft? Of course it does... For safe operation of that vessel as well as for the effectiveness of any rescue operations (or recovery operations). Other people now have to risk their lives to perform those operations.
@@cryptouk7985 once a submersible is down far enough the current does not affect the sub.

I am quoting from BBC website. "The five people on board are British businessman Hamish Harding, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, French explorer Paul-Henry Nargeolet and Stockton Rush - the chief executive of OceanGate, the firm behind the dive."
People who obviously had 250G’s to drop on this death trip.

Honey, don't you want to see the Titanic with your own eyes.
what was the point of going down there????
So many red flags on that sub. It feels like it was built in a garage
Praying these men are safely returned to their loved ones. Please Lord, help them.
Uhm I doubt that will happen unfortunately
Meh they are pink mist at this point
I agree with many others saying there were a lot of red flags. Unfortunately, this will never end stuff like this. Some people just have too much disposable income and want to experience a once in a lifetime adventure. I personally have seen enough bad things happen to others when they claimed they had it under control that i would never even have to think twice about not going in fact it would take a lot less risky trip for me to not go on something like this.. 😅
I am not able to muster much concern over people who can pay $250,000 (Reportedly) to visit a graveyard in a submersible.
Life is not found in a shipwreck on the bottom of the ocean. Life is found in Jesus Christ.
Oh shut up. Take your silly proselytizing elsewhere.
Hope these people are ok but….
$250,000….
Some people have too much time and money.
Yeah 250,000 but still just a cheap trashcan instead of a real sub 🤣
so I can't get healthcare, but this guy can waste hundreds of thousands + of tax payer dollars for them to try to find him? I hope the government sends the bill to his estate post mortem
Why are they spending a but load of money trying to rescue billionaires who went on a sketchy submersible for a vanity tour of the Titanic?

When you have money it’s your way or the highway. These men knew the weather was bad. Only sorry for the teenager on board.

They had no business down there in the first place. Same thing gonna happen with that one way trip to Mars, that's gonna cost millions.
Focused on diversity & inclusion instead of prepping the submarine for rough waters and how to maintain tracking and contact with the submarine.
They all knew the risks. Maybe if their families offer a few million for a rescue maybe someone will step forward to help. Money gives rise to motivation. 🙂

Five people went missing and only one is worthy of mention? He is more important than the others because he has more money? Do better New York Post. Do better. Be the change.
"The missing Titanic sub could potentially be inside the ship itself. If the load that kept it submerged were to let go within a 24-hour period, it is conceivable that the submarine could become trapped inside the wreckage. In such a scenario, it would not be visible on sonar imaging, but a loud impact noise might be heard as it collided with the interior of the ship. To investigate this possibility, it would be advisable to send a drone down to the Titanic wreckage and search its interior. This would provide a definitive answer instead of making derogatory remarks."
He should have just given me the 250k And I would have graciously let him borrow my vhs copy of Titanic so he can see the dang ship
What an incredibly chilling text. I'm now frozen.
I wonder if the bad weather may have weakened/damaged the submersible.
Just heartbreaking and the youngest of them, The Son of one of the fathers on board.
Rich people should all be so lucky.
If the weather was bad, assume the current was strong . What i don’t understand is what could go wrong mid dive that would cause all loss of communication /emergency beacon deployment? My answer is a catastrophic pressure breach . If that happened wouldn’t the pieces of the sub shoot to the top of the water ? No one seems to know .
I don't know IS there anything in the submarine, aside from the air itself, that would be lighter than water & wouldn't crush down to water density at such depths?
Nah, just a big bubble. The sub at that depth would implode and be crused like a soda can. Maybe the carbon fiber body but the titanium ends would likely take ot all down.
I worked on subs 30 years for the US Navy, they would never have taken a chance like that, they now have so many safety measures in place it's unbelievable
@@edtizzard8064 what do you think could have happened for all communication to be lost 1/2 way down and not being able to surface immediately?

yes which is why its no big loss if a billionaire or two dies.
People paid 250k each for this lol. CBS had a correspondent go on this same dive last year and shared his experience. He said once you are in, the only way to get out is if someone on the outside unbolts 17 bolts. On his trip they lost communication with the surface for 2 hours and were completely lost. The submersible has no way to navigate on its own and relies on text communication from the surface ship on where to steer/navigate. If those communications go down, the submersible is flying blind. It's sort of insane. I can't fathom why they don't have a tether or umbilical to connect to the ship on the surface. Most submersibles have this connection with the surface ship in the event of emergencies and to maintain reliable communication. Turns out they've already sent tethered submersibles to the titanic and can go even deeper, up to 6000m in depth meaning the cable was even longer...
There is also a toilet on board but they ask you adjust your diet before the journey so you do not have to use it. It’s a small portable toilet that is at the front of the vessel, you shimmy behind a little curtain for privacy and the sub operator plays some music while you go. Yes this was literally the description of it from the BBC.
Interesting bit, thanks for sharing

Or someone had a panic attack and freaked out.
( IMO ) this submarine should of been equipped with a emergency beacon type system that would of automatically or manually go off, and then send up to the surface of the ocean with balloons etc, so this radar or sound beacon would of then been very easy to trace, track and find just where the submarine is at this time. did it have such a emergency device installed in this submersible ??, and if not why not.?? Just IMO only. ???
The beacon would have been useless anyway cuz
1.) The CEO who was piloting the sub fired the guy who said they should add safety measures and
2.)the Submersible imploded (probably instantly as they lost contact of it) as evidence of the pieces of debris they found
No safety inflatables put in place to automatically float the sub to the surface in cases as this is beyond me.
