Sub
So I guess they found the remains of the imploded sub now, which was probably the best way for them to go anyway, given the available options.
Not a fan of the jokes people are making, honestly. You can hate on the idea of the billionaire and hate how much time/resources was used to try to rescue these five people, but I think joking about their deaths is pretty tasteless. They had people who cared about them.
Anyway.
Why “The Titan,” Though? Like, Really?
So this missing submersible that went to view the Titanic? This is 100% the plot of one of Cape Cod Radio Mystery Theatre’s episodes. Specifically, my favorite one: “Mr. Hugo’s Night to Remember.”
It’s actually kind of scary how similar the two stories are at the surface level (OH MY GOD NO PUN INTENDED), though I suspect a lot of the specifics of the CCRMT episode were drawn from the rescue of the Pisces III that happened in 1973. Though that’s not mentioned in the liner notes.
Freaky.
