Deep Sea Drama: A Look Inside the Missing Titanic Sub

The world continues to hope for a miracle!
Published June 22, 2023

Anyone who's ever dreamt of exploring the wreck of the RMS Titanic might be familiar with OceanGate Expeditions, the company offering dives down to the "unsinkable ship" for a cool quarter-million bucks a pop.

But this week, OceanGate found itself in a real-life drama when their submersible carrying five people vanished during an expedition.

Since the search and rescue operation began, a YouTube video, showing the interior of the OceanGate Subs has been getting a lot of attention. Let's take a virtual plunge into what it might have been like to be onboard that missing sub.

Imagine yourself strapped in inside a 22-foot-long, high-tech capsule. This marvel of engineering boasted an aerospace-grade carbon fiber hull, with titanium reinforcements for withstanding the crushing pressure of the deep.

Fancy, right? But here's where things get a little … unique.

The pilot wielded a familiar weapon: a trusty Logitech gamepad, the kind you might find gathering dust in your basement. Steering a multi-million dollar submersible through the abyss with a controller? Apparently, it gets the job done!

Now, if you need to use the facilities during your million-dollar adventure, be prepared for a potentially awkward situation. The tiny toilet was situated right next to the only window, so privacy is a precious commodity at those depths.

Here's hoping the missing sub is found safe and sound.

This incident serves as a chilling reminder of the inherent risks involved in deep-sea exploration, even with cutting-edge technology. But one thing's for sure: if they ever decide to redesign the interior, a more private loo might be a good place to start!
