  1. It is both tragic and fascinating to delve into the realm of knowledge that exposes the grim reality of inherent risks and the alarming absence of adequate safety protocols. While the magnitude of the tragedy can be overwhelming, there is an undeniable allure in unraveling the intricacies of such circumstances and understanding the profound lessons they offer. It serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for prioritizing safety measures and implementing robust protocols to prevent future calamities.

  2. Not all is as it appears. James Cameron did an interview about this missing sub and the whole Titanic thing. Basically he and several dozen other experts knew immediately what had happened to that submarine and as soon as it happened. Also, indisputably knew exactly where it was – at the last point of contact on the bottom. They heard it blow up and saw it on the bottom in the very first scan. Why did they search for 7 days and call in dozens of ships, military and civilian, to cover a 10,056 square mile search area? Let me tell you why, they weren't looking for THAT submarine, they were looking for the K-329 Belgorod, and that's a big freakin' deal.

    The Belgorod is the newest Russian nuclear submarine and the largest in commission. It also carries the very latest in Russian strategic nuclear weapons (big ones) and launched late last year on its maiden voyage to the North Atlantic for weapons testing. It was last spotted in February.

    The Titanic was only 1,300 miles from New York when it sank, in the North Atlantic…very easily within that 10,056 mile search area.

    In 1978 the US secretly converted a commercial ship into a makeshift recovery boat in order to raise a sunken Russian submarine K-129. This was the deepest recovery mission ever attempted (that we know about) and was partially successful, they got part of it.

    In 1985 Robert Ballard found the Titanic after the US Navy hired him to find two missing nuclear submarines, USS Scorpion and USS Thresher, in the North Atlantic, both of which had sank in the 1960's.

    Right now Russia is pretty tied up, it's Navy isn't really too involved but it's not hard to imagine if this thing went down that the US would be able to get there first. I'm sure that the one sub going down was a tragic accident but the Navy jumped to take full advantage of the situation.

  3. TEARS !!

    Tears are the raindrops of the soul

    And there's one for all who die.

    They are the silent words of grief

    As they fall free from the eye.

    The shortest verse in the Bible

    Is the one where Jesus wept

    If you hold back tears, shed them

    When your painโ€™s too harsh to accept.

    Tears are lovelier than a smile

    When they come from those you love

    As they seek relief from sadness

    When you're summoned from above.

    Tears are a love-mates humble gift

    When it's time to say goodbye

    Though the eyes are wet and swollen

    With time and patience they dry.

  4. The only man that makes sense in all this incident. Every one was in the โ€œI told them modeโ€. But this man talked lots of really important points. One of them was wether the submersible was doing stress test every time it goes down and back. And he did a good analogy either challenger. People was saying ow it should have been certified, it should have been this that โ€ฆ.Well NASA spend billions of dollars on its space program but lot of catastrophic explosion that results in lot of fatalities.
