This tiny submarine 2.4 miles under the sea, visiting the relics of RMS Titanic. Can it be found and the crew saved before the air runs out?

The latter of which is currently being detained in the US version of His Majesty's Pleasure.

At least you can get out of jail.

Maybe I'm being a bit unfair to Mr Rush. He was obviously a man in a hurry and a victim of his own ego, but at least he put his own life on the line while taking four other people with him to their deaths. Others would have delegated that task to somebody else.
 
I thought Quantum Entanglement was a dating agency?

Wasn't it that awful Daniel Craig Bond movie?
The one with the supervillain that wanted to raise water bills ?

I though that was quite good. And the plot based on a monopoly of water supply, and mundane but utterly vital thing, was far cleverer than say Gold in Goldfinger
From googling it appears that they did a sort of regular initiation ceremony where the boys would run through the cave system and mark their names at the end. Unfortunately it started raining...

Probably generations of boys had explored the cave quite happily. These lads were just one day too close to the rainy season

we all know carbon fibre evaporates in the rain.....
 
so they made only one submersible? in 2019 there were hints that something was wrong?

excerpt:
And when submersible expert Karl Stanley was aboard the Titan for an underseas excursion off the coast of the Bahamas in April 2019, he felt there was something wrong with the vessel when loud noises were heard and sent an email to Rush, the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions, sounding the alarm on suspected defects.

“What we heard, in my opinion … sounded like a flaw/defect in one area being acted on by the tremendous pressures and being crushed/damaged,” Stanley wrote in the email, a copy of which has been obtained by CNN.

“From the intensity of the sounds, the fact that they never totally stopped at depth, and the fact that there were sounds at about 300 feet that indicated a relaxing of stored energy/would indicate that there is an area of the hull that is breaking down/ getting spongy,” Stanley continued.

When asked for comment about Stanley’s email, a spokesman for OceanGate told CNN they were unable to provide any additional information at this time

well good thing the mounties are looking into it! :wacko:
"The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is also investigating the incident "
