    @MN5

    Saw a Tweet suggesting it's a small scale early 20th Century historical rerun.

    A Titanic disaster followed by the Russian Revolution.

    There's a great comment in one of those videos: The Michael Scott of deepwater exploration.

    So... I just happen to currently be playing solving the nerd-game puzzle BioShock... and as I come to the "Submarine Bay" - what do I find? A vehicle which includes a perfect fucking sphere as the main component for passengers. ... even nerd-game developers know that is how shit works.

    that would explain the constant banging every 30 minutes.

    Weissmann said Rush told him how he had gotten the carbon fibre used to make Titan, specifically the hull of the vessel, "at a big discount from Boeing". Weissmann wrote in Travel Weekly that Rush said he was able to get the carbon fibre at a good rate "because it was past its shelf life for use in airplanes".

    Again, what could possibly go wrong...

    Perfectly reasonable, aircrew are way more important and cooler than submariners. They can have their second class fibre 🙄

    Retrieval of the larger parts, these look to be the end caps (Titanium) and outer shell plus hardware. Basically parts that weren't pressurized. (or carbon fibre)

    It's not too late to sign up for this once in a lifetime experience!

    (probably a good time to update their website...)

    In all seriousness, on seeing that Itinerary it must have been an incredibly introspective time for those on those onboard ship who'd paid to be "Mission Specialists", and who hadn't been drawn for that first dive...

    A Twitter thread that looks like it could be of interest for those with engineering/design/materials knowledge.
