HeHasRisen Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 All very sad if they dont get found, but look at the inside of it! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-us-canada-65958697 All looks very basic, plus a cheap games controller used to steer the thing! Its all very odd given how much people are paying to go in it, was expecting something a bit more sophisticated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Wallace* Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) Yes me too controlled with an Xbox handset bits from a DIY store and peeling masking tape with scribbled in biro telling you what the switch does it’s all a bit Del Boy with a mega price tag. I heard a sub last month where people had paid quarter of a million dollars to be aboard didn’t even find the Titanic so no one on board even got to see the ship.

*Wallace* Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Oh yes forgot this also on the same news broadcast even if the sub floated to the surface there’s no way out of the sub it opens from the outside in and that’s it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now now, its "only" $250k, which is about £195k. I for one am glad that the BBC live ticker just before 9am told us all "What happened to the Titanic?", like people wouldnt have a bloody clue.

Here is another video of it. Looks like the door opens out rather than in, mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone could work out the cost per hour for the ride... ... it's probably cheaper than a trip to Alton Towers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least there should have been another mini submarine on standby in the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
