Speaker 1 (00:00):
A race against time in the desperate search for a
missing submersible carrying five crew members touring the wreckage of
the Titanic, the US and Canadian coast Guards scouring an
area over nine hundred miles off the coast of Massachusetts.
The ship left Newfoundland, Canada on Friday, carrying a submersible
operated by ocean Gate Expeditions. That vessel started its voyage
(00:20):
down to the Titanic Sunday morning. Official say an hour
and forty five minutes into that dive, the ship lost
contact with the sub and alerted the coast guard. Ocean
Gate says a crew of five has enough oxygen to
survive for ninety six.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Hours twelve five hundred feet down to where the Titanic
lays on the bottom of the ocean for over one
hundred years. Wow. And if you're a super rich person,
you can take a trip down there to see it
up close in one of these little submarines, private submarines
that's about the size of a minivan. And as you
(00:54):
heard there, they lost contact down there, and they haven't
been heard now for a while. And they got about
ninety some hours of oc gen three days already.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Oof getting down to crunch Tone.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And the latest story. Hanson, our executive producer, says they
may have gotten stuck in the Titanic. That'd be something,
so the Titanic would claim more victims.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I care.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I call it the curse of the Titanic.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
That's nice, that's good, that's really cool. Yeah, I understand. Yeah,
if they're easy to get snagged on the wreckage because
things got various cables and tubes and stuff hanging off
of it. But it's super prona mechanical problems I was reading,
and electrical problems and you know, you go out on
the voyage in the first two days. They might have
(01:38):
to resurface before they get down there because it has
mechanical problems according to one guy who did it last year,
and so yeah, who knows. It might be long crushed,
some catastrophic because those pressures down there are what were
you saying?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
They are early one thousand feet per square.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Inch, pounds per square inch, gans per square inch, right,
that would squash you like a bug, not do you
any good? Yeah, anyway, so what do you think still
kicking or gonzo?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Ooh, this is the MACBB. This is gruesome. This is
not like us. If I had to bet money, I
would guess dead, which is unfortunate. I don't wish them ill.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
No, certainly not. You know out they're the rich guys
trying to have an adventure. Although you know, at some point,
as we discussed earlier, it's too bad. But if you're
a rich guy paying lots of money to do things
that are death defying over and over again, one day
death's gonna say now today, I defy you.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I've always felt that way about people who climb everest
or a number of other things. If it's free of
anyone ever getting hurt or dying, then it's really not
the bragging thing that I think you're hoping for, which
is why you're doing it. I mean, if anybody can
do it with no risk, it ain't gonna be quite
the story for the rest of your life that you
(03:00):
were hoping. It's got to have some danger involved, and
so sometimes it's going to go wrong.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yeah, and I'm not rooting against these people by any means,
but you know they're somewhere in America. There's some young
mom fighting a terrible disease and hoping to be there
to raise their kids. I'm worried about her, not rich
guys who wanted to see the Titanic. Grandma got mauled
by her neighbor's pit bulls the other day.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Somewhere in a life dates, for instance, I've been you know,
so guy decides to do something dangerous and it doesn't
work out.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, I just the media can't resist a suspenseful story.
Will they make it story? Because people keep clicking for updates?
I get it. So they're hyping it.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Well, you get down there and you think, wow, it
looks exactly like I thought it would look anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Just like on TV. Maybe a little bigger. Of course,
I could have gotten closer to my TV. And now
I'm being crushed by six thousand pounds per square inch,
damn it?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Or feet Where's Leonardo DiCaprio.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Show me his bones?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Show me DiCaprio's bones.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Wow, some of the three D imaging they've done with
the Titanic lately is just amazing. I was reading about
it National Geographic. I think, so they can finally get
to the bottom of why it cracked and sank to
the bottom of the sea, because once they know that,
they can uh, well they can uh I don't know,
have a special on cable TV. I guess getting a
(04:23):
time machine and telecabinet is steer just a little left.
Nor that's toward the iceberg, you fool. Trust me, a
little left. That's not gonna happen. The things down there,
