W4:More than a hundred years later, the death toll of the Titanic is still rising......
By Chock Jing Yi 15 July 2023
In mythology, Titans are afraid of water and people named it for a big ship and a submarine.....
The submersible "Titan", which was used by the United States to visit the wreck of the deep-sea Titanic, imploded on the 18th of last month and killed all 5 people. After 18 days on 7th July the company's official website finally shows that all exploration and commercial operations have been suspended.
"Titanic" is a vivid and touching classic movie
Titanic is a 1997 American epic romantic disaster film directed, written, and co-produced by James Cameron. The film is based on the true story of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, a British liner that sank in the North Atlantic in 1912 after hitting an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City. The Titanic hit an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage from England to New York in 1912. More than 1,500 people died in the shipwreck with 2,224 passengers and crew on board.
Titanic was a critical and commercial success, and remains one of the highest-grossing films of all time. It won 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director for Cameron, as well as Best Actress for Winslet and Best Original for "My Heart Will Go On," sung by James Horner's Celine Dion song.
Ocean Gate
Ocean Gate was originally scheduled to visit Titan, a private company headquartered in Everett, Washington, in a remote corner of the North Atlantic Ocean in June 2024, charging each person US$250,000 (approximately NT$7.77 million) ), sent passengers to the deep sea with submersibles, and visited the Titanic at a depth of 3,810 meters, which is equivalent to the total height of 7.5 Taipei 101 buildings. Expeditions to the wreck of the Titanic.
Present Situation
After five days of searching, according to the U.S. Coast Guard, which is responsible for leading the search and rescue mission, on the 22nd, the search and rescue team has found scattered wreckage of the Titanic on the seabed about 500 places away from the wreck of the Titanic. The state is consistent with the phenomenon of submarine implosion. Five people in the cabin died instantly.

Future Vision
Five crew members of the tourist submarine Titan, which was exploring the Titanic, have been confirmed dead. Legal experts pointed out that although the crew signed the waiver, it may not protect the Titan's owner from possible lawsuits brought by the family.
Although the disclaimer has been signed, if there is evidence that there is serious negligence or insufficient disclosure of risks, it is not uncommon for the disclaimer to be ruled invalid by the court.
"If the submersible was concealed from its occupants as to its design or construction, or operated with the knowledge that it was unsuitable for this dive, that would absolutely nullify the disclaimer. "This is because according to rumors at that time, the company's security personnel said that the maximum dive was 1,300 meters, and CEO on the submarine still directly dived to 3,800 meters that causes the tragedy.
Creative Solutions
1.Security concerns
First of all, the hull has not undergone a safety assessment by a professional organization. From material selection, physical pressure resistance, distortion resistance, and high-pressure tightness test, each item is very important; when you don’t have anything, take people deep dive to 3600 rice.
According to people familiar with the matter, the security officer once said at the time that the submarine had potential safety hazards and could not dive so deep. However, the billionaire fired that security guy. Later the security officer sued him but the billionaire still didn't take it seriously. At that time, the company's security personnel said that the maximum dive was 1,300 meters, and they directly dived to 3,800 meters that causes the tragedy.
2.No escape
How dare they go down, there are no escape measures. Skydiving at least has a parachute, this doesn't even have an escape cabin.
I don't understand why this thing doesn't have a cable to connect to the mother ship. In case of danger, let alone drag it up, at least you can find the ship along the cable. Moreover, the radio can't be used for this kind of submarine communication. Wouldn't it be more convenient to have a cable?
3.Curiosity killed the cat
This tragedy had tell us that "Curious about the Titanic, visit the Titanic, become a Titanic". The wreck of the "Titanic" was discovered in 1985, and now it has become an attraction for nautical experts and underwater tourists to explore.
Justification and Implementation:
1.Security concerns
As a result, if the simulation is just dragging people to four or five kilometers, it should be the state you mentioned. But in a submarine, it is like an explosion. A general gas tank explosion explodes outwards, while a submarine explodes inwards in reverse just like sardines in a can.
2.No escape
They were quite desperate before they died. According to the written records, there was a suspected cracking sound before the implosion. The water caused the weight to increase, and it couldn't float. Then there were more popping sounds. The system bottleneck was completely red. As soon as the message was sent, the people from the company couldn't contact the Titan, and it imploded and disintegrated.
3.Curiosity killed the cat
The pace of modern life is getting faster and faster, and the pressure is also increasing. When people are exhausted, they are eager to adjust their nerves and relieve anxiety through some channels.
Psychologists point out that gossip is a way to promote group solidarity and help to shorten the distance between people. Talking about gossip and sharing news with each other shows that everyone is in the same "circle", which not only shows closeness and friendship, but also forms a certain "psychological contract" to make everyone become friends. The sensational effect and eye-catching effect of gossip news can make gossip speculators quickly become the focus of everyone's attention in a short period of time, and can obtain a sense of vanity satisfaction. People like to gossip, which not only creates a huge entertainment effect, but also has the effect of lubricating interpersonal relationships and establishing a kind of intimate relationship with similar tastes.
Visualization and Communication
Reflection:
The tragedy of the Titan tells us a truth: although history will not repeat itself, it will reappear in a different form. The biggest shortcoming of human history is that we never learn the lessons of history.
Some people call them as explorers but in my opinion, the five of them can't be considered explorers, they feel more like drivers and tourists. What have they explored to eliminate the unknown? Contributed to society? Are they exploring something new? For example, Magellan sailed around the world. He proved that the earth is round. Even if they failed this time, the purpose is to prove this. This time, it has nothing to do with human courage and spirit of exploration, it's just a tourist accident.

Hundreds of years ago, a crew member informed the captain that an iceberg was found ahead and suggested slowing down, but the arrogant captain scolded the crew member, which led to the tragedy of the Titanic.
Hundreds of years later, a technician from a diving company pointed out to the boss that there were huge hidden dangers in the submarine, and the arrogant boss fired the technician, which led to the tragedy of the Titan.
Similar names, similar locations, the same brave subordinates, the same arrogant boss, ultimately created the same fate.
In conclusion, the CEO of Ocean Gate, was the chief culprit of the accident. Last year, he fired the senior submarine engineer who warned him that the quality of the Titan was not up to standard and could not dive below 1,300 meters. The solution is to solve the person who asks the question”.
