If they manage to get it to the surface and rescue the occupents, Hollywood will be all over it and have a movie out within the year. Probably starring Liam Neeson or Ewan Mcgregor.

Directed by James Cameron for sure.

We do dig at Pompeii constantly though (as well as thousands of archaeological sites globally) and thats a graveyard to more people than Titanic.

There's an arbitrary time limit when something becomes archaeology and not a grave it seems, about 200 years seems to be the going rate.

And we move Skeletons and build houses on top as well...... We treat our Ancestors like trash

Its not really the point though people don't go digging in graveyards whether theres anything much left isn't really the point its a respect thing, most if not all battleships are regarded as war graves and is illegal to disturb i guess civilian ships don't come under the same rules, maybe they should

I believe the MS Estonia is a protected site and it’s illegal to dive to it or disturb it.

Sadly the Chinese seem to have missed that memo.

More than 800 sailors were killed when the HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse were torpedoed by Japanese aircraft — three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Ah well thats ok then of course, as long as its past a certain sell by date

If the Titanic never sank then this situation would never exist.

I say cancel all icebergs for this mess.

Building on a burial ground is something we should all be careful about, unless we want portals to open in the cupboards and static on our tv's

Already in-progress with global warming

i wouldnt have it any other way...... graves are for the living to pay respects to, but it gets to a point (arbitrary number) say 50 years where those people who were mostly involved will be dead or moved on as well. Hell if you didnt draw a line somewhere there would be no where left we could build on by now.

Personally i am a fan of scattering ashes somewhere nice, then going to visit that area such as some woodland or a lake. of course it does not stop someone cutting down the trees or building a water park on said lake but.....................

when i am dead i really do not care what happens to my body. harvest as much as possible for organ donations and then the rest of me dispose of as cheaply as possible. any money for the funeral i would rather have go behind the bar for my wake.

The backups seemed to be mostly mechanical ways to get to the surface. There are only two reasons why all the backups would fail. Either it's caught on something or it's been destroyed.

I hope it exploded rather than a slow death.

I'd pay to go to space. I would not pay to go down I think a sub.

In space you get zero G etc. I on a sub.. You're still looking out a window. Personally I don't see the appeal.


Not judging as I like dangerous sports. But I don't get the appeal.

I'd absolutely love to go down. I have an odd fascination with the deep ocean, imagine the bottom of the Challenger Deep

If four people mysteriously perished then one person might survive.

My best friend likes to go cave diving in Thailand.

Sounds amazing and she's seen some incredible things but I couldn't do it.

I get freaked out by lifts! Lol!

Do NOT google images. That will haunt you for the rest of you life.
