Tourist mini sub missing off titanic
Looks like a tourist mini sub has been lost or no communication at the Titanic. $250K per person to visit.
The Coast Guard is working on it. Hoping for the best for everyone. https://www.foxnews.com/world/submarine-tourist-visits-titanic-wreckage-goes-missing-atlantic |

Speaking of underperforming movies that aren't all that bad if you go in with low expectations- 'Underwater' with the twilight chick is worth checking out.

Yeah, if the sub didn't implode they have a few more hours to go.
I wonder if they had to sign a release before they left.

 $250k, to be locked in a sardine can near the Titanic, to see the wreck on a video screen? No Thanks. Was it this company's first passenger trip?

Fastrrrrrrrr!

Well that's just stupid!
Is that the interior of the sub? No windows? Just a video feed? Maybe it's all fake. Perhaps locked in a warehouse somewhere. And why is there a gas station attendant sitting on the right? |

300hp 1800lbs is the goal

How do they actually know they're going to Titanic if they're watching everything on a screen? Lower them into a swimming pool and play clips from the movie for them.

Pressure at Titanic depth is only about 384 atmospheres.

Looks like there is a viewing dome on the front.

Can one assume that something like that is untethered?
