ReplyDeleteOceanGate CEO, Stockton Rush, explains why he didn't want to hire 50 yr. old White guys to pilot his subs:

Rush said he valued captains who were "inspirational" over experience, noting that "anybody can drive the sub," which is controlled with a $30 video game controller.
Inspirational over experience? Does that translate into non White (especially black) and incompetent over White and competent? I dunno but if I were going to get into a tin can and dive deep into the ocean I'd want the most experienced, smartest and competent pilot I could find, not some 30 dollar video game controller or an affirmative action negro.
black guys in water?Think Joe Frazier in "Battle of the Network Stars".

Yeah, the CEO said hiring inexperienced kids to pilot instead of a 50-year-old white guy with US Navy submarine experience was more "inspirational." How inspirational is it to be trapped under the ocean? Maybe the 50-year-old Navy veterans were too smart to be willing to sail on this jerry-rigged bargain basement boat?
ReplyDeleteHas anybody contacted the Super Mario Bros?? I've seen them do amazing &%*#! with seconds to spare. Without being too sub-jective.... isn't taking a sub to the Titanic about the stupidest thing you've ever heard, as far as a vacation goes? [besides Mexico]
ReplyDeleteI do hope they save them

Debris found in search area has been assessed to be from the external body of the Titan sub
ReplyDelete(CNN)The debris discovered within the search area of the missing Titanic submersible has been assessed to be from the external body of the sub, according to a memo reviewed by CNN. The search for the crew capsule of the Titan vessel continues, the memo says.
The debris was located on the ocean floor, roughly 500 meters off of the bow of the Titanic, and it was located around 8:55 a.m. ET.
GRA:Oxygen running out was apparently the least of their worries.

TITAN VESSEL IMPLODED IN SOME CATASTROPHIC MANNER."
ReplyDelete(nbc)All five people aboard the Titan submersible are believed to be dead, and debris discovered in the search area for the missing vessel was consistent with a "catastrophic implosion," the U.S. Coast Guard said.
The debris was found off the bow of the sunken Titanic, officials said.
The search for the Titan, which went missing Sunday after embarking on a mission to survey the wreckage of the Titanic, had been focused on an area where Canadian aircraft detected "underwater noises" Tuesday and again yesterday.
GRA:Media had a story people were engaged with--rare these days--but not the outcome they were hoping for.
