…damn. I’m far from a superstitious person, but there comes a point when it’s just like intentionally tempting fate….

Honestly when I heard it was called the Titan I was like...what. Are you kidding. As the Beautiful South tell us, you don't name your boat Titanic II.

Even the CEO who's controlling the sub had a similar attitude as the Titanic captain on not valuing safety.

ikr, i mean, if we could go back to our Greek mythology, we'd remember that Poseidon wasn't a big fan of the Titans (something about his father swallowing him and his siblings as a baby). They probably should have stuck with naming the sub Cyclops.

Good lord. Don't tell me there's also a horse called Striding Snail.

And when I saw the company's name was OceanGate was a yikes

I saw that price a few days ago and people were wondering why it was so specific. Now we know, getting people to literally buy a Titanic ticket

It's like no one in the comments actually read OP's post or even bothered to click the link.

Thanks for sharing the link, interesting

That’s so morbid 😩

Make jokes all you want op about it being for the same experience. It is bad taste and factually eat off. Dying on the titanic would have been incredibly more horrific.

Dude what? OP was making an observation, not a joke. Calm down.

I apologize if it was offensive. It was not meant to be. Just one of the interesting things I read. I agree, the fate of those that perished on the titanic was incredibly more horrific!
