It's actually very typical for metal ships to break down in that deep of ocean. Wood ships are, paradoxically, the ones preserved on the deep sea floor.
That's cause wood ships are eaten by aerobic bacteria and metal ships are eaten by anaerobic bacteria.
Well, there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don't want people thinking that ocean liners aren't safe.
The Daily Mail thought the ship was repairing itself and preparing to set sail once again some time in the future. They were banking on "Titanic sinks AGAIN!" And then blame it on immigration and explore in depth how it'd affect house prices.

Sounds like fake news. Elon musk needs to get to the bottom of this.
I've heard carbon fiber has great compressive strength and survives repeated stress well.
he should just repurpose a spaceship fairing
Sorry, pretty sure Elon is too poor of an engineer to design a sub and too afraid to take it down there.
What do you mean! He’s a fearless genius!

All I'm saying is that we should be vocal about things like his ability to pack a parachute by himself.
I wish the titanic a swift recovery
Thoughts and prayers
Hopefully it will encourage more billionaire tourists to go see it before it's too late.
I don't believe it. Send some more billionaires down there to check it out.
Send all of them.
Yeah, that's not very typical. l'd like to make that point.
What’s that about the Titanic’s front?
I heard a wave hit it

I'm surprised they didn't just tow it outside of the environment.
OP is quoting from this government expert’s analysis of such maritime disasters.
They really shouldn't have parked it there
I can't blame them, from what I hear the front fell off
But what about the environment?
So those round the world tickets I bought for when the Titanic recovered were fake?
Best I can offer is a couple a get well soon cards for the boat and your bank account.
Salt water really did the iron dirty with this one.
Tbh I’m a bit surprised no one has carved it up for pre nuke steel
big iron in his hip 😔
At least the pool is still filled with water
let the bodies hit the floor
What kind of reporting do you expect from the Daily Heil?

Honestly I'm kinda amazed it's still mostly there
In the 90s I was told that there would be nothing left of the ship by 2020.
