    Can you copy and post it? I can't see it. Paywall.

      Although I have a pretty good idea.

        I remember seeing this a while back. The Titan(ic) is shown at 3:30.

              That's sort of what @Klaus was alluding to. Even if found, actually bringing it to the surface in time is a daunting task. Does the Titan even have any kind of rescue-attaching thingamabobs?

                I'm fairly confident the Titan will never be found. It took forever to find the Titanic.

                Unrelated, how are squids not crushed to death at that depth? (Answered it as I typed this, google says its because creatures like that are made mostly of water and/or do not have air that can be compressed in)

                  At least they stopped short of saying "Let them die."

                    That’s because it took us forever to develop and deploy the technology to find it. Once that technology was available - thank you, Cold War era investment and engineers - it was just a matter of time to hone the skills to deploy it for archeological endeavours.

                    We have the technical means to locate Titan. Curiosity as well. I am sure there will also be the investment to make it happen.

                      I think we can find it.

                      But should we attempt to raise it?

                        Depends on how soon we can find it.

                          But altogether, those donations are consistently Republican and include George Bush for President in 1979, the Illinois Republican State Central Committee in 1980, Citizens to Elect Rick Larsen in 2022, and friends of Mike McGavick in both 2000 and 2005.

                          Okay, these people need to be mocked mercilessly.

                            I too am sure we will locate it or what’s left of it. Don’t wish to speculate as to when.

                            As to should we attempt to raise it? Good question. I believe though the curiosity at numerous levels will insist on it if practicable. The desire to answer the how and why surrounding this incident will be just too intense.

                                        Based on the way safety appeared to be considered as an inconvenience more than a requirement, I'm guessing some lawyers are going to be moving pretty quickly, too.

                                        I was only joking
