As rescuers in a remote area of the Atlantic Ocean are racing against time to find the missing submersible carrying five people on a mission to document the wreckage of the Titanic, we look back to the endeavour launched by filmmaker James Cameron to explore the depths of the ocean.
In this 2012 60 Minutes story, Cameron talked about what made him want to explore the blackest depths of our oceans, as far as man has ever ventured, piloting a tiny sub eleven kilometres below the water's surface.

Camerons sub looks likes a very advanced piece of engineering. The Titan looks like a massive Tupperware kit assembled in the back yard.
I agreed 👍 100% True
The Titan was a piece of crap. That submarine looked like a Science project that some High School student made. It was obviously a very unsafe submarine. I feel bad for the teenager who didn't want to in the first place. So tragic and sad 😢.
@@dextermoore278whats worse is oceangate knew their sub was unsafe
With knock off playstation controllers.
Oceangate sub look like a trash can😂
Notice how Cameron is in a submersible that’s fully equipped to travel to deep depths and doesn’t look like a tin can? This was such an avoidable tragedy. Stockton Rush knew his submersible was unsafe. The fact that a video game controller was responsible for returning the members aboard safely from 13,000 feet is insane. RIP to all of those onboard.
Cameron's one was built by professionals, lots of research and many years to build. I really wish Rush went to him for guidance, too late now 😪
@@zaneleposhpride goeth before the fall
wasnt even the controller, they didnt even properly reach the wreckage site, they imploded on their way down at 12,000 feet
Needless to say, Rush RUSHED IT.
EXACTLY MAN ANYONE WITH A FUCKING BRAIN COULD REALIZE THAT I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE TRUSTED HIM
He has visited the site 33 times. I’m sure he never would have taken a ship as bad as Oceangate’s protocol. Update: James Cameron was interviewed and confirmed as much.
33 lol.

The ocean is a deadly environment and respect is a must, it remains undefeated when it comes to man.
Mother Nature always wins, whether in the ocean or on land.
Man will never win against the ocean or God's creation for that matter......We will go extinct way before we could ever have a chance to really kill this planet....That we are just doing that same thing, we are just going to die off..🤦😱😂😂😂😂💥🔥😂😂😂
ah yes, man. But remains wholly defeated when it comes to fish. Thank you for your comment.
What exactly does it mean to defeat the ocean?? Humans have went down to the challengers deep and returned
For now.
kinda crazy he filmed and re created things for the Titanic and afterwards he went down there and saw the things for himself what an experience.
And then Sunday people thought they could just copy this, When I first heard of the Titan Tours I assumed they were using a bigger version of Cameron ship so it would be safer... But no they really MacGyver a ship and never got it regulated... Rip to those people. Even in this video Cameron knew if there was a problem there was noway anyone could help if it went wrong.
He actually had been down a few times prior to see Titanic to get shots ror the film.
Most of the Titanic wreckage footage in the movie is real.
insane! these explorers are something else
be nice if he DONATED MONEY TO THE ALVIN 2, but instead the Alvin had to be rebuilt. A lot of rich people do enjoy spending their money this way, and that's fine, but it would be nice if people also donated to science that would help ALL OF US, and not just for his own thrills.
Titanic claimed victims even before her sinking , & it is now looking like she may have claimed more. It’s utterly horrific.
Damn, is Titanic a woman? I thought it was just a cruise typa ship.
@@lilchoppa7833Ships are feminine in the English language.
I bet the titanic talkn crap...you didn't learn your history....oh okay gotcha 👌
What gets me is that no backup plan just in case! This was very unprofessional tbh. They can’t even find the mini sub, let alone bring it up. No technology available today that would retrieve it from over 2 miles of ocean depth!
@@alvaroq2024of course there's the technology to recover it, it likely won't be in place in time though.
The difference between Cameron's sub to the tourist sub is crazy.
Which is exactly why all these ignorant people demanding we ban exploration of Titanic have no idea what they are talking about. We've been going down there for nearly 40 years without incident. That company gambled with an extremely risky sub and they lost. That doesn't mean Titanic can't be explored in a safe and respectful manner.
@@foskco87I can’t agree more. Their sub had no official certification. It shouldn’t have been allowed to dive, there’s risk then there’s stupidity
@@foskco87titanic should be left alone, it's been explored enough. Not worth the risk.
Well there's always an enormous difference in the depth of the dives. 13,000 ft vs 36,000 feet. 6,000 psi vs 16,000 psi. It's nearly 3 times deeper.
@@12345Yeahthere are subs that go way deeper. Up to 40k feet. Almost 4 times as deep as the titanic. The problem is they tried to do it in a pop can
I just find it wild that Cameron was able to have a phone call with his wife on the deepest dive ever recorded, and the Titan couldn’t even maintain tracking + communication at a third of the depth.
They probably did have their phones but when the implosion happen the phones were gone too, which is why.
I heard that too, James received a call from his wife? But the Titan allegedly had No communication once below????????
@@joannemurdock7899 they did have communication but it stopped was imploded
@julianbrown03 I don't think the oceangate titan had phones. It only had a text messaging system which the mothership would text it where to go so it could locate the titanic. Completely crazy.
Absolutely insane he went all the way to Challenger Deep. Imagine if he couldn’t get back up. The engineering of the Deepsea Challenger is simply amazing.
7years of preparation. That's so worth it🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@KNIGHTOFTHEPHOENIXrush had some weird innovative idea and clearly not enough testing
Not when people died so recently like 5 people died in his supposedly amazing invention!! We need to stop trying to be God!
If u can get me down there whether i come up is meaningless imho
On his own too ,I'm surprised he could even fit inside the sub with bollocks that big
Going down the oceans deep in all that darkness is already terrifying. To think this man went down all alone without the company of others is beyond description
He didn’t want the put others in risk. This is for his own exploration not for profit!
Cameron's sub was built by the best and they took every precaution possible. He had the best team of engineers and experts and would meticulously go over the tiniest details such as washers made from one material vs another. Almost a borderline fanatic when it came to safety and protocols which is what you want when it comes to exploration. NatGeo was a partner with him and dedicated an entire issue to his dive, so if you can find it, it's pretty amazing since it shows you the schematics of the sub. Stockton Rush? Bough his lights from Camper World and ran his "sub" with a wireless Logitech controller. 🙄
That may be true, but Rush built his, Cameron paid people to build his. He had more resources, too.
I am beyond claustrophobic, where I won’t even go in an elevator, and this IS the worst imaginable thing. To be in the dark, at the bottom of the ocean, trapped with other people, slowly losing oxygen, and having nothing but your thoughts, knowing that your probably dying and can’t do anything about it. That is such a hopeless panic. I would probably be puking, shitting my pants, and my life would race through my head. It’s so so sad and terrifying. I wish they really thought about this before going. It seems like the submarine is like a makeshift tattoo gun in prison, doable, it works, and kinda made with what you got, but not a real proper one. My heart goes out to them and their families. 💗
Extremely claustrophobic too so I wouldn’t go anywhere near that death trap
Fr I’d rather they just open the latches and let us have a quick death
You're not alone; Dean Martin once walked up 18 flights of stairs as he was claustrophobic; wouldn't go in the elevator.
@@margretsims1322 Did that not have something to do with his paranoia of being whacked? Rather than phobia?
you think they brought a cyanide pill with them?
I feel devastated for these five people and the panic they’re going through. I cannot imagine a more terrifying situation than to be LOST in the deep, endless ocean. It’s pitch black down there, the pressure is high, it’s freezing, and they have less than 40 hrs of emergency oxygen left. This is a true nightmare situation. I’m praying for their rescue ❤
More than likely it imploded and they died the fastest deaths in human history. It would have happened so quickly their pain receptors wouldn't have had time to work. I know that's grim but it's also the most likely explanation. They didn't suffer is what I'm trying to say.
Going through? You mean WENT through.
They privlidged enjoyed the finest, knew the risks and failed, cyanide pills they should have
They got subbed by a submarine
Such a beautiful comment. ❤️🙏🏽 Also praying- but find so much comfort in your post. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
No one deserves to die like that. Have a heart people.
I think most people do have a heart! But they are just exasperated by the foolish decisions that led to this disaster❤
No one deserves to die like that but christ that whole situation was a death trap in the making. The Titanic is a tomb where hundreds of souls lost their lives horrifically; it's not a fucking tourist destination like the CEO was trying to make it. He died capitalizing on the deaths of those people and because he was too cocky to follow regulations. 4 other people paid the price of his hubris
How do they deserve to die then?
I would rather painless by imploding then suffering by suffocation.
If there is one person I'd trust to do such a thing, his name is James Cameron. He is a legend!
9:00 "you're in a place that's so remote nobody could come and help you" This is all we need to hear. That Titanic sub is done. There are only a few sub can reach the 13000 ft (4000m), but none of them are rescue sub. I am sure we will find that sub. Recovering it would be a challenging issue against time.
Im afraid the news will be devastating
I think they exploddd
What if a giant squid yeeted them so hard it messed their systems up.
@@mainscript1172 I'm actually thinking like that. The first thing that comes to my mind is a megalodon
20 or 30 years from now I'm sure someone will find it.
Look at the sub Cameron is in. It is massively overbuilt to survive the massive stresses of 12500 feet of water sitting on top of it. That is no accident. That is through using all available submarine and submersible technology available and incorporating all of that knowledge into a brutally heavy duty but wonderfully strong craft. The Oceans Gate carbon fiber trash can was none of that.
and this movie came out in 1996. Almost 30 years ago. I bet it could be way better today.
Cameron's deepsea challenger went to 35,756 feet, almost triple the 12,500 mark.
Looked like a trash can!!
@@scottreich1207 So why don't they send mr cameron down with a hook and cable

James is really an amazing guy. What he did is an incredible accomplishment.
I like him so much and his movies are amazing 👏
But isn’t worth it.
@bxi1547 He made a safe dive to the bottom of the ocean. Very few people have been there, and there is a lot of value to science, understanding how life began, even possibly to medicine. Overcoming the difficulty of traveling to such a place is considered quite an achievement by most people. Why do you think it's not?
My mind cannot wrap around how or why anyone would approve to get on knowing that several people have said how unsafe it is and even the companies employees AND ex employees explaining why it’s unsafe. Several people called out the company for how unsafe this is YET people still allowed this to even happen. I’m being shocked on this logic.
Because they already had many trips in that sub, and the found believed in it, a little too much.
I agree 100%
@@marcmaeda4905 and with those trips they discovered how unsafe it was. Yet nobody else even stepped up and spoke out about it.

Lol
If they are alive down there it’s got to be the most excruciating and traumatic experience I can imagine, being in the pitch black with no way to help yourself or notify anyone and just hoping and praying that someone comes to save you and manages to actually find you before your oxygen supply runs out.
The cold would probably kill them first
And the other ppl dying on the side of you , you hoping your not Next 😢

The amount of courage or stupidity needed to go where there is no one comes to rescue you is just mind boggling 😬
It’s called courage and a longing for exploration and adventure. And not everyone is up for it

Man the fact he went once is ridiculous. 33 times is egregious. He is blessed to be alive after taking such a risk so many times
There's very little risk when you plan properly and rely on top-tier engineering
He practically said in another interview that an implosion should be the least of their worries now because they've got the science down years ago. That is, IF you stick with the science.
If you're scared, go to church.

This is total CLICKBAIT ! This has ZERO to do with the current missing private adventure submarine.
Yup
So gross
We're here now. They succeeded in getting our click.
I don’t think it is. This story explains the millions of dollars and expertise that was put into the sub that James went down in compared to the $250,000 it cost for the one that is missing and runs with a PlayStation or Xbox controller. You’ve all seen the videos by now surely. James said he knew it could be a one way trip and there was no hope of rescue if he got stuck down there. So the thumbnail was correct as it explained why there’s no hope of rescue, because there’s no craft that can make the journey.
@@jojowynne233 Shut the hell up! Read the title.
60 Minutes Australia has the best coverage not only on this story, but ALWAYS!!
I totally agree , 60 .Minutes Australia 👍
I'm convinced that saving someone from space is easier than from the ocean 🌊
I know for a fact it is, because I've seen so many movies where it has been accomplished.
@@robertjensen1048Yeah I’ve seen several movies where people have been rescued from space. But from the ocean? Very few.
@@scott8908lmfao at movies. I’ve seen movies with monsters!!
Cameron says so in this video. I'm not sure that's true as in "save someone in space, from space", though. There are no space vehicles that pack enough delta-v to be able to go rescue anything on another orbit then back to the station. Although it is possible, I suppose, to launch help from the ground - after all Sputniks rendez-vous with the ISS all the time then come back.
I saw Fast X so I know it's possible
The man is the true definition of 'do what you love and love what you do...'
Those waters are cursed, Newfoundlanders will not even go near the Titanic graveyard area...
💀 picture saying a building is cursed because people decide to jump off it 💀…nigga it’s just water. These people quite literally went on a suicide explore. This outcome is not unlikely. Especially if u use ur brain for even half a second 👍
@@heatherwade2373There is nothing there that is cursed!!! It is really very simple!

@@ImAtYourMumsHouse I did not😧
It's always a risk to go deep in the ocean. James Cameron goes down by himself. His sub is only a 1 person sub. He takes the sole risk of death.
what boggles the mind is how life at those insane depths handles those pressures with just bones and flesh and moves around like its normal
Animals at these kind of depths don't have flesh and bones like ours, and in fact lifeforms in the abyssal (3000m) and lower zones generally do not have skeletal structures at all, and instead have elongated bodies consisting of a kind of "jelly" flesh that gives them a low enough density to withstand high pressures. They also do not generally "move around like normal". Species in the lower depths prefer to wait for food that falls from the upper zones rather than hunt, in order to conserve energy due to the sparseness of food.
Food too. The bottom is like a desert.
The pressure is equalised on the inside and outside. It's why a bottle filled with air and closed off will crush, but the same bottle with the lid off will be A-OK.
Sad to say, but after nuclear Armageddon wipes mankind off the Earth, these weird slimy, primitive creatures at the bottom of the ocean will survive us!!!😱
The animals down there are built different to withstand the pressure. It’s why when a blob fish is brought up to the surface it implodes on itself and takes on a blob-like appearance. At the pressure they live at it looks like a regular fish.
I understand the fascination of the titanic!! However it is the tomb of so many lives lost! They should let them rest in peace 😢
I have a whole new respect for this man. What a wealth of adventure his life is and he’s gracious enough to share making movies, so cool!
James Cameron seems like such a chill dude
Russia used to do these deep dives, but they launched two subs together so one could help the other in there was to be any problems with one of them. They’re probably the only country that could help and that would take months if not years to plan out. It’s not like jumping into an Uber and driving down. This company that’s had the problems doesn’t have any sort of rescue plan itself.
...with Finnish-made Mir submarines. Probably one of only reliable pieces of tech Russia has. Everything else is "less shoot enough of them and one will succeed" type of things.
Absolutely right. There was no inside controller room too. Atleast an AI driving system which can drive back to surface level could have helped. They went to suicide mission
yeah, and I am sure Russia is dying to help to those who donated billions to have its citizens killed. 😂
@@rasoi1452they could have had these systems, but the fact they use a video game controller that’s 30 years old doesn’t convince me. A million dollar trip and they can’t even track where you are. However what I feel most likely happen is they crashed, and the breach of hull made the submersible essentially spontaneously combust. The crew would have been MUCH better off to be vaporized by the pressure explosion, than just slowly dying because there’s not hope for them to be saved.
Russia is kind of busy right now...
The previous safety engineer for the subs company was fired after pointing out that this expiramental sub wasn't rated for repeated deep dives even close to titanics depth. Likely a catastrophic decompression.
Oh damn…😮
In diver lingo "don't get crunched"
Probably the fastest deaths in human history.
At least decompression would mean instantaneous death versus waiting to suffocate
They implode, they don't decompress.
Our family was just discussing the missing submarine tonight. We were reading about the kind of vessel needed to rescue the submarine and I actually remembered the documentary I watched about Cameron and how they created this vessel. I remember it being robotic, being able to go to the ocean floor….
To hear they have zero chance of surviving is a heartbreaker. I'm sure that it was a implosion, and that it happened so fast that they didn't have time to even react.
the only thing that can rescue them is a drill ship that can somehow tether to the titan, people say that a second submersible could have saved them, this is incorrect, the second sub could assist in an entanglement or a power failure to relay messages, i.e, it would help the mothership or cost guard to locate them, but it wouldn't be able to lift them from the sea bed if the power was out, neither would it be able to do anything if there was a hull breach.
Theyve heard knocks, possibly from Titan...breaking news...
The titan has soooo much of its cabling/wiring on the outside. Anything could mess with it, or it gets caught on something.
Its not a submarine, it's a submersible vehicle, the technology needed to make a submarine or sub vehicle able to rescue something like this and get there in days is something hundreds of years in the future. This is more dangerous than going to space
in he event of recent catastrophy ...i could just imagone what hes feeling NOW ..a true rare breed !!! god bless

Given the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for individuals to prioritize investing in diverse income sources that are not reliant on government support. With $560,000 in savings, it is important to identify the most effective approach to enter these markets. This is an opportune time to consider investments in equities, gold, silver, and digital currencies, as they offer potential growth and stability.
Something I've learned from my first bear market: You don't have to outperform, just survive. If you can survive and let your competitors blow up you'll be the only one left and in a better position than before.
Building a good financial-portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek professional support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long-term goals and financial dreams.

Funny enough he even went way deeper. God help everyone during this rescue effort 🙏
He went in a really expensive legit deep sea exploration submarine traverser though instead of a tin tic tac that was much much much more prepared and tracked
I find it miraculous that James Cameron can move around operating a camera, directing actors in big budget blockbusters considering the sizable handicap of having a GIANT PAIR of brass balls between his legs. I dont care who you are.. going alone down 36000ft to the abyss, at an eyewatering 16000 pounds per square inch of pressure, that is some nightmare fuel right there. Edit: not only did he go willingly, but he dropped millions to have a custom rig designed to take him into that nightmare lol

I like what Cameron said about being able to ask US, China or Russia (the most space capable) to help someone in orbit. Despite our issues, I could see us helping one another, say if the ISS had an emergency for example.
I like that too and agree, I think when all said and done humans help humans
It's about time humans realized we all have an equal stake in our own evolution. We're the only species that has the option to control our own development at will and it is high time we used it, together.
I like your optimism
The ISS is about the last place the US and Russia still cooperate. And there is an understanding that you help each other in space. Besides it's great PR, having to rescue your opponent on orbit. "It's very lucky that WE have a functioning spacecraft."
Earth is already overpopulated.
They ignored all the warnings about the safety and now they unfortunately experience the consequences

It's impossible to rescue them because they never prepared the emergency submarine in case they needed, they just made one boat for one trip down and back up, it's panic mode for those who in that boat and panic mode for rescuers who's not prepared for this. Really saddened and almost hopeless situation
Sounds nuts....
I believe they had a mother ship- which they lost contact in an hour and 45 mins in. I'm not entirely sure what there plan B or C was. I'm here on KZhead to find out if they even had any. It's very odd to have a vessel controlled by a $30 Logitech controller. It seems that a good vessel would have its own technology to back it up. So odd.
@@violetfairies yes noo brains🤯😬..... There billionaires on board and father and son jus paying 250,000 too die and then people going too make movie💰📽️🎉 of der dummasses 💯🤬🥴..... Sooo sad.... I'ma wait for da news🍿
This was no accident. Someone sabatoged that sumbersible because they knew a billionaire was going in it. If he dies many many people get paid... im suprised nobody has mentioned this THEORY yet. Just my little theory. 🫢
The whole concept is insane when one thinks about it. This thing at the whims of ocean currents just descends to 12,000 feet with no connection to the support ship? It’s jury rigged, using a PlayStation game controller to operate it? One little thing goes wrong and you’re screwed. Surprised it didn’t happen sooner.
I love this guy! Such an unappreciated artist!
A great man and a great producer. Thanks for the content
May they rest peacefully 😢
60 Minutes is ice cold 🥶
100%
Cameron is so brave and courageous.
His wife called! That is so sweet! It shows how much they love each other ❤❤
It seems we didn't learn from the tragedy of Titanic. We cannot challenge nature. 😢
More like we can’t overestimate people. They entered a death traps with no safety regulations, in a vessel in which all professionals said were dangerous, in a vessel that’s controlled by a PlayStation controller… and thought it would be safe…
Or international bankers..
That was exactly my conclusion today. Am happy that I found someone who also concluded the same way. My mind was like some things are not meant to be challenged but rather jus admired and leave them like that. The seas are too mighty especially their depth!
We can’t challenge stupid either. The thing is steered with like a ps3 controller 😂
Physics rules.
Not sure this is the best timing for this video!! 😢
I’m cynically thinking they have changed the title of the video for the views. Since it has nothing to do with the rescue!
@@Strafuzz I think you are right 🤬
Shows how majestic life is from the bottom of the ocean floor to the stars in space and beyond, we gotta respect the pioneers and explorers of the past, present and future for the risks they can potentially go through just to see what we don’t see everyday.
Jim Cameron is an amazing guy watching him work. Direct command is an incredible privilege. I worked as an actor on Titanic. I played chief officer Wilde . It was six months of just the most intense filmmaking I’ve ever had the privilege of being part of. Jim Cameron is a legend🤘
Send me some racks my duse
How blessed you are ❤
Which scene did appear on? I'm planning to watching Titanic this coming weekend, so I can see and appreciate your role please 🙏 😁
@@zaneleposhhe said he played chief officer WILDE
@@joannemurdock7899 I needed the exact scene, too many characters there and not easy to catch the names 😅
It be a miracle if they found those people…. Just so dangerous!
Dead or alive ☠️🤕
@@ankusharma3323 probably they died.. I think sub couldnt handle that kind of pressure 😖..
It would be a miracle if they found them at all, like the dead bodies.
@@freespiritableor the undead bodies 🧟♂️
@@loguchennaiIt went down 24 times, I think they're alive stuck on the ocean floor.
Stooping to new lows to bait people into watching an old video, youve lost me
James Cameroon is the greatest hollywood director and explorer. He know what he is doing when it comes to safety.
The other part is your giving me a view I could never do. Thank you.
My favourite scene in the movie is the ending portion were they show the rusting titanic and then slowly go back to the setting with actors and everyone assemble near the stairs
Maybe Cameron can justipose these 5 peoples faces on the next Titanic movie anniversary . They can digitally put them on the staircases just before Rose sees Jack.
I understand showing this again. With adventure, comes risk. However right now families, co-workers and three countries are faced with searching for five people that are paying the price. I sincerely hope they are brought home. Im deeply sorry for the teenages family. Just too young to grasp the odds.💔
Pretty pathetic of channel nine to use this latest incident to trick people into watching old content, just a low act to get some views I have unsubscribed I won't tolerate click bait desperadoes
@@stephencolley5231 Netflix has gotten into trouble for promoting a submarine docuseries just recently.
I just hope they send the search and rescue bill to the billionaires family. Tax payers should not have to pay a dime rescuing these "explorers." They are getting to relieve the terror they were so obsessed over! Sucks for them!
@@ezragonzalez8936 well spoken…true too…
The title is completely misleading!!
Thank you finally someone who explains the whole story
James Cameron is the man that's really all I got to say
I can't imagine how terrifying it would be for the 5 people in this vessel, now lost in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean and their oxygen supply is depleting. Time is ticking. I know it is impossible to save them at this point but let's all pray for a miracle to happen. Nothing is impossible with GOD.
Plenty is impossible
Only God can save them and I pray for some miracle. I suffer from serious anxiety and heart problems. The panic attacks are so bad I wish them to no one so just imagining what they went through makes me sick.
@@perc3136 A wonderful twist of words on that empty, shallow, stupid , moronic , asinine, worthless phrase I have been hearing all my life, that "Nothing is impossible!" Oh, yeah! Try to lift Mount Everest over your shoulders, or try to drink all the water in all the oceans in one gulp, or more down to earth, try to have beaten Mike Tyson in the boxing ring when he was in his prime!!!😊😅😂
.....What people will do when money ,family and life itself is not enough 😔
💯💯💯
Idk I just know they're insatiable and nothing is enough for them.
This is a person who I can say is very brave and intelligent, think about it, you will dive that deep
This wasn't an explanation, it was just showing James Cameron doing it and not dying....
I'm very surprised 60 minutes has been allowing comments lately !! So here's mine NO WAY !! I couldn't go down in that submarine & NO WAY could I go up like climbing towers ! These ppl are extremely brave to go to the depths of the ocean or climb to the top of towers ! Its certain death if something goes wrong and the chances of that are extremely high !! NO WAY !!! 👎
Think about that really hard. He lived in the submarine but his friends died in a helicopter. One is no safer than the other its truly not.
👍
First of all, this should be illegal. The titanic is a site of a huge loss of life. It should Never be approached unless by researchers on a genuine research mission.
But secondly, this has to be the ultimate NYC Taxi experiance. Imagine being hermetically sealed in with TWO of these fragrant types! Wow Ugh!!!!
@@cindys1819 you should be illegal you rich haters are coming out in full force on this topic if it wasn't for filthy rich free people you'd be a feral wild animal or worse.
To be down there and not much oxygen for such little time is terrifying. I really feel bad for them guys! People need to stop putting their lives on the line for stuff that hasn't really been examined to take dangerous risk like that. Let's pray these guys make it out alive! 🙏
99.9999999% chance they died isnt from depressurization days ago within a second
Sorry to tell you this but most likely are long gone already. God has to take us eventually and it was their time.
They were the 1s doing the examining.
Ahaha
Well they've made history 🙆🤣
Absolutely fascinating! To me, unknown John Doe movies goer, it was really unexpected discovery. To find out about Mr.James Cameron passion for the deep submersible design and exploration. I am so greatful to him for that. It's literally, boldly go where no one has gone before. I wish, everything that he filmed, during his trip down and up, would be available for viewing.
Watch deepsea challenge 3d
I'm also fascinated by the deep sea, I wish to explore some day
Condolences to all surviving family members of the lost submersible. As a fellow explorer, it pains me to know ‘basic safety’ was overlooked. A) The-pinnacle of irresponsibility was in the outright violation of ‘the 2 man rule’. Not having a sister vessel, while launching into the deep, to serve as: -mid-point communications relay -safety observer &, -emergency SAR (search & rescue) … was the problem (above all other issues)! B)The NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) may become involved.
they didn't even hire ex-submarine designers or use submarine standards whilst making the titan
The saddest part of this is that these Men could have financed one of their own & never have been at risk. It frustrates me to think they had so much trust in this dodgy set up, not in a month of Sundays....It made me panic just seeing the opening hatch & how cramped it was in there.....so very sad for all concerned xx
@@luckyjim37 That is unreal, I didn't know that, but I know they ignored warnings, etc. Complacency in its worst form & now innocent people have been reduced to atoms....Please never again.
@@lyndahylton819 Yes I wouldn't be interested in getting into a vessel that was so cramped that I couldn't even stretch my legs and used knock off Playstation controllers and only had one button. And had port glass made to withstand pressure at 4k ft when you're going to 13k ft.
Most people don't realize the ocean is one of the unknown parts of the earth ever.
They wanted to see history and probably might become it..praying for a safe return 🙏
Praying they’re found & rescued!
THEY'RE DEAD!
@@TampaAriesyou’re a glass half empty kind of person
Implosion left it looking like a crushed coke can ..probably floating or around half way down heading down. A can of human tuna inside floating off into the darkness forever to never be found.
@@towmanac7056damn💀
That's all we can do now, it's God's time
I feel breathless by just watching this video 😮💨😮💨
❤. James Cameron. Thank you!
What a scary way to go, I pray for the passengers and families 🙏
This is not about that
Even if they do find them they can’t save them 🤦🏾♂️
@@BillyMayDaysthanks for an actual informative comment. This has become a place anyone feels they can leave a comment merely speculation or by heresy
There dead end of story.
There dead end of story.
This video does not even talk about what the title says "Why rescuing the Titanic sub in the depths of the ocean is nearly impossible". Clickbait, from 60 Minutes Australia.
It's impossible to 'save' a thing at a surface of an open ocean, or a vast undersea when there is 'nothing' there for you to seek and search, hear or see. It's a very unforgiving and challenging environment.
Ok?
@@vvv-jz9wx?
Location device would really help.
My sister always tells a story about her professor who refuses to even step into the ocean. “There were archeologists who pulled up giant bones of seven creatures from the sea. Only 3 were identified.”
