I went to a school named for Robert Goddard and the mascot was the Titan (rocket). We did fine.

"Now we have this missing sub that was suppose to be unsinkable and it is called the Titan."

Well, a sub's purpose is to sink. What it was supposed to be, is durable.

Sadly, they have all been declared dead. 😢 👼

First we had the Titan 20 years before the Titanic sank.

Then we had the Titan

And now again we have the Titan

 was suppose to say Titanic.

I hope the US and Canada are being reimbursed by these dummies estates for the costs to go looking for them. 

They knew the risks, they were well informed of them.  This was ego and money over safety and common sense.

If I had a quarter of a million dollars burning a hole in my pocket I could think of a lot of better ways to spend it than hop in that death trap.  It’s sad that those folks died but this nonsense of the rich becoming thrill seekers on adventures like this is crazy.  It’s only a matter of time before one of those rides into space by Elon and his competitors goes kaboom too.  I read an article the other day noting how much attention was placed on this submersible story while the recent sinking of a boat in the Mediterranean resulted in the deaths of how many migrants looking for a better life barely made the back page news. We truly live in a screwed up world.

Reimbursement as a consequence for their actions? Ha!

That's no longer a thing here in America these days, sadly. You, I, and the gal them down the street will bear the burden of all associated costs as usual. Taxpayers foot all the bills. And Active Duty & Veterans find themselves settling all other outstanding debts in one way or another.

I hope thats not true, if Im an idiot and I climb up a cliff at the beach and get stuck, and fire and rescue has to come save my dumb a$$, Im not getting a bill?

Part of the job of the Coast Guard and fire & rescue is to rescue people - smart and dumb.  They don't give you an IQ test to see if you should be billed for their services.

Really?  I always figured a bill followed for stuff like that.

Regarding the Titanic.  There were many immigrants and lower "status" individuals on the 3rd level.  Of the 1,500 who died, a good # were 3rd class passengers.  I seriously doubt 1st class passengers were onboard for the same reason.  Apparently, regulations were lax, what few existed at the time were ignored.  In particular the # of life boats.

Maybe now there will be stricter rules and consequences for those "thrill" seeking individuals with money burning a hole in their pockets and those who willingly take it.  It is particularly tragic that the young man (19) on board allegedly didn't want to go but wanted to please his dad for Father's Day.

"that the young man (19) on board allegedly didn't want to go"

On the national news, his mother is quoted as stating he asked to go, so she gave up her seat.

The aunt said he didn't want to go, the mom said he wanted to go.  Who got the story right?

Now the press is busy quoting anybody that ever thought about going on the submersible.  It's a good time for another Chinese balloon to fly over the U.S. ------------- just to get the press to move on from the submersible story.

The "stupid motorist law" in Arizona (ARS 28-910)  states that any motorist who becomes stranded after driving around barricades to enter a flooded stretch of roadway may be charged for the cost of their rescue.  If public emergency services (such as a fire department or paramedics) are called to rescue a flooded motorist and tow the vehicle out of danger in Arizona, the cost of those services can be billed to the motorist, plus additional liability of up to $2,000.  Motorists are only liable if water already covers the road, barriers are in place but bypassed, and people are rescued from a vehicle.

On the other hand, fire departments exist largely to rescue people who smoke in bed, and police departments investigate damage and death caused by alcohol.  The cost of trying to rescue a submersible addict here and there, is infinitesimal compared to these vices.  

The stupid motorist law is stupid.  When would someone ever drive into a flooded road in Arizona.  How can things flood if it never rains there?😉

@IRonMaN must be one of those people who think that canyon is in Colorado because that's the name of the river that carved it.  In fact, there are few floods on the Arizona desert, but even less flood control.  And the weather is like politics, we have storms coming our way from California and Texas.  

I know the canyon isn't in Colorado.  Colorado has those Everglades so it would be hard to fit a canyon in with all of that water and alligators.

I don't see the article from your link?  Every news story I heard stated he did not want to go.  No matter he's dead now.  Really tragic all around so I wouldn't make light of who said what.  Mom could be covering for her husband AND maybe he didn't want mom to know he didn't want to go either.

Oh sure... "news" like that's even still a thing?!  (Fake news)

What next? ...facts?!
