  8. In a small measured and predictable ways. Ways that can and are accounted for. Flying in helicopters or relic warbirds is not the same. Do they have risks? Of course they do. BUT: Submarines diving 12500 feet down being exposed to 400 atmospheres of pressure over a rusting wreck just in the name of: hey i have money lets go put myself into a stupidly dangerous situation to visit a ship that sank! Now that is a level of stupidity and disrespect i cannot get behind or respect. Your son (if i read you correctly, if not apologies) and his vessel hitting the Arizona should have earned him and which ever CO tasked him with that patrol a reprimand for careless navigating near a known hazard. Yes the Arizona is a navigational hazard as well as a revered site. Now lets put YOU into the shoes of a victim of the Titanic. Its 2023, winter to be exact. You have chosen for some reason to cross the Atlantic by ocean liner. Your vessel: RMS Queen Mary 2. Some ghastly tragedy happens sinking the vessel and proportionally the same number of survivors and fatalities occur. You die on board the vessel as it sinks into the Atlantic. And as grim as Im getting there is 0 chance passengers lost inside the vessel can be recovered. Would you rather the site the vessel comes to final rest on the seafloor be left in peace or be visited and disturbed over and over for as long as the vessel exists before it eventually decays to dust? Would your current family or descendants take peace in knowing your final resting place is left alone or become some high priced tourist spot? Be honest and not contrarian here. If it were me? Leave my body alone on the seafloor. Mark my final resting place on a chart if you must but let me have the peace of the grave knowing ill be left in peace. No. The lethality of 400 atmospheres of pressure is not a choice. That pressure is lethal. Period. I need neither accept it or not, my acceptance changes nothing. Put my flesh into that pressure and im going to squish instantly. The choice is knowing that a single mistake 12500 feet down may kill you before you even know it happened and choosing to take that risk. There is, and I mean this in 100% candor and clarity: There is absolutely zero reasonable or acceptable reason to take a sub full of untrained arrogant and entitled people who have 0 scientific training or purpose to be there down 12500 to visit the Titanic. Clout or instagram or facebook posts are not a good or acceptable reason. The ONLY reasons to visit it are scientific in nature. To understand how the wreck happened. To understand the ecological impact of the wreck (im including all aspects of this field). To understand how the pressures that deep affect metals, woods and other materials not native to the seafloor. And any other avenue of scientific inquiry not directly stated or indirectly alluded to. Those who perish trying to summit mountains are indeed monuments. I would say yes any ground in which life has been lost, regardless of in war or in peace should be treated with reverence. We clearly disagree here. I have said all I can or will say on this save: Continue safe ROV scientific visits. End paid tourist visits. 220906202023
  9. Granted, you are the heat shield i wish i was happy 215706202023
  10. Yes run "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?" (bonus points if you know where i ripped this query from, no search engines) 215106202023
  11. <long sad sigh> not a proud american but am in the US ball lightning is a rare type of lightning that is well not normal lightning. TUBM is in the Southern and Eastern Hemispheres 204906202023
  12. Granted, its now 100 centigrade with 98% humidity i wish i was a changeling like the founders (ds9) 203706202023
  13. I ask it to ask why not ask it to ask ywh? 203506202023
  14. 1 single Delta IV 203306202023 203406202023
  15. Yup tubm has had an encounter will ball lightning (as in you saw it in person) 203206202023
  16. The difference or rather differences are that there are: The USS Arizona is patrolled by US National Park Service Rangers maintaining the sanctity and security of the site as well as tourist safety and safety measures to keep the fallen sailors, the wreck, the site and visitors safe. The wreck of the Titanic is deeper than 12,000 feet in international waters with little to protect or preserve the site let alone the safety of TRAINED deep water scientific teams let alone rich clout seeking tourists with 0 training or any clue of just how lethal or how FAST it can go lethal that deep. Its reported that at Titanic the pressure is 400 atmospheres or 6000 psi. Thats no place to tour for the gram or tiktok. Its a place of extreme risk and a place for reverence for what happened. 202906202023
  17. (if you zoom in on the tail area above engine 1 you will see it) ——— 192706202023
