无人生还!“泰坦尼克”号残骸观光潜艇灾难性内爆
The sub suffered a "catastrophic implosion", killing the five men inside, the US Coast Guard said at a press conference Thursday
美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)援引“海洋之门”网站内容报道,由于水下没有GPS信号,“泰坦”号只能通过短信与其母船联系,需要每15分钟进行一次通信。
With no GPS underwater, Titan communicated with its mother ship by text messages, and the submersible is required to communicate every 15 minutes, according to OceanGate Expeditions' archived website.
CNN报道称,参观“泰坦尼克号”残骸的旅程为期8天,费用高达25万美元。
The submersible was part of an eight-day journey conducted by OceanGate Expeditions, priced at $250,000 a person.
去年哥伦比亚广播公司一名记者曾乘坐“泰坦”号参观“泰坦尼克”残骸。据该记者描述,“泰坦”号内部空间很小,只有一个厕所,没有座位,所有人进去前先脱鞋,然后盘腿坐在地板上。除了供乘客观看“泰坦尼克”号的舷窗外,没有任何窗户。
此外,“泰坦”号里面大部分是光秃秃的,只有按钮和墙上的屏幕,大部分操作是通过一个手持控制器进行的。
据英国《卫报》报道,电影《泰坦尼克号》导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆在22日接受采访时,谈论了“泰坦”号潜水器的悲剧,称这起事故与“泰坦尼克”号沉船相似,令人震惊。

Titanic director James Cameron on the 'catastrophic implosion' of Titan submersible: "I'm struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship and yet he steamed at full speed into an ice field."
据央视新闻报道,当地时间21日,海上技术学会载人水下航行器委员会主席威尔·科宁在接受采访时证实,“海洋之门”公司始终拒绝让“泰坦”号接受第三方的专业认证,他本人在5年前还曾为此致信“海洋之门”的创始人,业界普遍对这一潜水器的可靠性感到担忧。
"At some point, safety just is pure waste," Stockton told journalist David Pogue in an interview last year. "I mean, if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed. Don't get in your car. Don't do anything."
