[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 4060586, member: 44288"] This is supposed to be the second paid voyage down with this craft. That's what I read anyway. [B][I]OceanGate has stated that the Titan completed over 50 test dives, including to depths similar to those of the Titanic, both in waters around [URL='https://metro.co.uk/tag/bahamas/']the Bahamas [/URL]as well as in a pressure chamber. However, previous trips in the Titan [URL='https://metro.co.uk/2023/06/21/journalist-fights-back-tears-recalling-near-fatal-trip-to-titanic-wreck-18986522/']have also encountered issues[/URL], which have raised concerns about the safety of the vessel. Reporter David Pogue was onboard the vessel in 2022 when communication was lost with the main ship for two and a half hours. [/I][/B] [I][B]He later challenged Mr Rush in an interview, saying: ‘It seems like this submersible has some elements of MacGyver jerry-riggedness’.[/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
