![]() ![]() With the growth in deep-sea tourism, we must expect more incidents like this. “Even the most reliable technology can fail, and therefore accidents will happen. Which is exactly why it’s important to stretch out to something. “I think it is important to remember that to us humans, the deep sea is a very inhospitable place,” adds Roterman.

MORE FROM FORBES How Deep Is The Titanic? - Meteorological Context As The Search For Titan Continues By Marshall Shepherd “If there was any kind of hull breach, the occupants would succumb to the ocean in a near instant.”Īs fellow Forbes contributor Marshall Shepherd points out, the pressure we experience from the atmosphere at sea level is a mere 14.7 PSI, or less than three-tenths of a percent of the pressure found at the site of the Titanic shipwreck. If the sub failed, directly exposing passengers to those kinds of pressures, Roterman says that it would be over very quickly. Nicolai Roterman, a deep-sea ecologist and lecturer in marine biology at the University of Portsmouth, explains that at a depth of over 2 miles the Titan was subjected to more than 5,500 pounds per square inch (PSI) of pressure.

With China Pearl still closed for renovations, you’re basically left with Hei La Moon and maybe Empire (I don’t know if they still use carts), which are subpar options. But ultimately the cause is certainly the extraordinary forces exerted by the ocean at depth. Honestly, the two best dim sum places in Chinatown don’t use carts: Winsor and Great Taste. ![]() If the hull of the Titan did fail, it may take a long time-if ever-to diagnose what exactly went wrong. If that's what happened that's what would have happened four days ago.” OceanGate co-founder Guillermo Söhnlein, who left the company years ago, told the British broadcaster in response to the news of the discovered debris: “if there is a failure it would be an instantaneous implosion. It was thought to have about 96 hours worth of oxygen aboard. Titan lost contact with the surface less than two hours after beginning its journey on Sunday. Hei la moon is a good experience too, but quality is hit or miss just comes down to preference really. ![]()
