@fmf saidYea it was an experiment unlike the Titanic who had a very cocky Captain in charge, man made errors in that one. They really thought the Titanic was unsinkable, probably why there wasn't enough life jackets for everyone, as they never thought they would be needed.
How was it "an experiment"?
Was the ill-fated voyage of The Titanic also an experiment?
This was completely different. Experts said the submersible was not safe and further testing should be done. One guy fired for telling the truth.

ST. JOHN’S, CANADA—After collecting debris from the ocean floor and examining it at a nearby pier, the U.S. Coast Guard reported Thursday it had found horse remains within the wreckage of the Titan submersible. “In our excavation of this catastrophic implosion, we have recovered both human and equine tissues, including the crushed carcass of a thoroughbred stallion that appears to have traveled aboard the Titan vessel,” said Coast Guard Capt. Stan Partridge, whose remarks led to feverish online speculation about whether a 1,200-pound horse could have contributed to what went wrong with the sub during its doomed descent. “It wasn’t just a single horse either, but several, perhaps an entire herd. It’s unclear whether the horses were passengers, some kind of entertainment, or a team of draft horses used to pull the submersible during its 2.5-mile journey to the bottom of the sea.” At press time, sources reported that the remains could simply be horsehide that was used in the construction of the Titan as a cheaper alternative to titanium.

@Torunn
I’ve been watching this National Geographic program tonight. It’s absolutely fascinating and looks at the weather conditions and how they explain many of the circumstances of that night. Do have a look if you can get it.

You’ll need to find it on the National Geographic channel in your country and there may be a subscription. It’s included with the base package here in the UK.

@rookie54 saidThank you. The greatest miracle on earth is being alive, having been born at all, waking up in the morning (nothing to take for granted), and be allowed to have a peaceful night (nothing to take for granted either).
New report reveals most Titan missions aborted as design may reveal how it imploded

Is there a greater miracle? What can go beyond that? What other mystery do we need?
