Doesn't it just suck when you fork over $250,000.00 dollars and that is United States dollars, to take a "joyride" to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to see up close and personal the wreck of the doomed ocean liner 'Titanic', and the dang submersible you're in implodes. You know how when you step on an empty beer can, or soda can, with all your weight and that can goes...SQUISH? That's sort of like how that submersible went at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The jury-rigged submersible was made out of some kind of carbon fiber skin that was alleged to be able to withstand the steel-crushing pressures of the deep sea. So now...NOW!!!...all manner of "I told you so" nay-sayers are chiming in with profound second-guessing of the trip to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to see the Titanic. I'm thinking that the nay-saying and hold-on-a-minute sentiments should have started about a full week prior to the doomed submersible's plunge to the bottom of the Atlantic and its most certain imploding demise. At least a week. At the top of the voice protest. So it has been reported that there isn't enough left of that submersible to salvage. Any human remains that haven't been torn to tiny bits by the implosion have been gratefully consumed by Atlantic's bottom feeders. Yes, there is life at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, and life has evolved to exist under deep-sea pressures and environments. Down to the sea in imploding submersibles. Sounds like the folks on that submersible certainly got more than they'd paid for. $250,000.00 dollars seems almost like a "fair price" for a burial at sea. Or maybe not. Now for Saturday machine art. Don't go anywhere near the bottom of any dang ocean.
