In episode 227 of my show, I address a tragic incident involving the Titanic tourist submersible. I feel compelled to share this early broadcast due to the gravity of the situation. The submersible has not been found, and the oxygen supply is estimated to have either run out or will soon. Based on the technical information available, the submersible was a death trap on multiple levels. It is astonishing that people agreed to enter such a dangerous vessel.

Reports of noises resembling banging on the submersible's hull have been circulating, but I am skeptical about their validity. False hope can be cruel, and finding the people alive is highly unlikely. The search area is relatively small, given the available technology and precise knowledge of the submersible's diving location. However, I doubt they will be discovered. It is more probable that the submersible, being a death trap, succumbed to the pressures at extreme depths.

The submersible was made of carbon fiber, which has limitations and can disintegrate under slight variations in pressure. Unlike metal debris, it would be challenging to locate the shattered pieces. Incidents like this occur due to the lack of strictly enforced regulations. The submersible was not adequately tested at the intended depth, and the owner disregarded necessary inspections and regulations.

I am deeply affected by this tragedy, particularly because those on board had no chance of escape. Even if they managed to exit the submersible, the pressure alone would have killed them instantly. The submersible had numerous flaws, such as untested oxygen supply systems and the absence of carbon monoxide sensors. It is disheartening to witness people lose their lives in such preventable circumstances.

I wish I could be proven wrong and that they are still alive, but my belief is that they are not. Investigations will uncover the failures in the systems and the owner's irresponsible actions. It is incredibly sad, and besides the reported banging noises, there seem to be no other signs of their survival. The submersible should have had redundant communication systems, but they failed to utilize them. The delay in reporting their absence and the lack of preparedness for rescue efforts are additional failures.

This tragedy was entirely avoidable, with numerous factors contributing to its occurrence. These people paid the ultimate price for these oversights. I hope that this incident will lead to stricter safety protocols and prevent such tragedies in the future. It is unlikely that the submersible will be found intact, as it would have disintegrated instantly upon rupture. The only consolation is that the victims would not have suffered prolonged pain since the destruction would have been instantaneous. That is all I have to share for now.
