  2. Titanic Steward: Fragment I

    “Hey, Hart. What are you thinking? Are you stupid?” One of the other Titanic stewards asked.

    “What do you mean?” Milo Hart took the comment calmly, though he probably would have decked the man back in port. Here, on board the ship, an altercation would get you reprimanded or fired. It was a good job that paid well. It was a darn sight better than being a dirt farmer back home. If he didn’t lose this job, he could marry Sally when the trip was done.

    “I saw you out on the first-class promenade. You don’t belong there. And with a guest.”

    “She asked me to escort her. She was feeling ill and needed air.” Hart made up an excuse on the fly. He had always been good at that. It might not have been true, but no one would ever know.

    “She talks to herself,” and the other steward touched his head. “Be careful, you’ll get into trouble!”

    “You trying to #gin up problems? Going to report me if I do a guest a favor?”

    “No, I just worry about you. You’ve been odd recently.”

    “Don’t fret. I have a sinking feeling it won’t matter for long. I’m usually right when I have these feelings too.”

  3. James Cameron eviscerates the morons behind the #OceanGate sub disaster in a very polite and professional manner.

    He's an excellent presenter and explainer. I would have thought he was a scientific authority, rather than a film director, if I didn't know better.

  4. new found land

    Whiteness enough off that coast to last a summer,
    with chunks sized to drift among swells
    like lost boats rising bottoms up to glimmer,

    then dropping from a coastal watcher's view
    halfway from here to wherever it is sky
    comes down to touch water, blue on blue,

    or even larger continents of white
    shot through with green, shouldering breakers
    with unhurried calm, things for night

    to break on, or even day. You and I,
    not having seen such before, go out
    to frame each other with one in a camera's eye

    and watch a schooner nosing among bays
    scalloped along fringes of the beast.
    The little ship goes near, but turns away

    over and over to run, a cur who knows how strong
    the behemoth it harries, how final its mere touch.
    The white rock nothing notes, but wades along,

    a mindless thing, and yet it knows command: we
    think of the Titanic, sleeping in her mud --
    having discharged frail cargo on the sea.

  5. just came across this 60 Minutes Australia interview with James Cameron on the OceanGate sub disaster.

    Probably one of the best and most engaging interviews about engineering, safety, culture, science, hubris, incompetence... that you'll ever find.

    Cameron is so incredibly intelligent, but also extremely good and simplifying complex ideas and doing it in an honourable way.

    And oh ya, he also makes movies.

  6. Erstmals Rettungsweste von der Titanic versteigert: Das ist ihre Geschichte

    Die Titanic galt als unsinkbar und ist doch gesunken. Einige Passagiere konnten sich bei dem Unglück im Jahr 1912 retten. Eine Frau trug die Rettungsweste, die jetzt unter den Hammer gekommen ist.

    Leonardo DiCaprio heeft de film Titanic "nog nooit gezien". Dat zegt de 51-jarige acteur in een gesprek met actrice Jennifer Lawrence voor vakblad Variety.

  8. Parfois je me demande quoi écouter et j'oublie que le camarade @histony publie encore des vidéos sur #PeerTube et l'instance de @association_skeptikon et j'ai enfin écouté ce qu'il avait à dire sur l'affaire #OceanGate (le sous-marin qui a implosé en allant voir le #titanic). Et comme d'hab quand il fait des pas de coté, ça parle pas du sujet mais de ce qu'il y a autour et c'est passionnant: skeptikon.fr/w/sRhykEp5LYqxtMg

  9. Ich fand ja damals schon den Vortrag beim 38c3 von @OchmennoPodcast bzw. @ucki zur #TITAN-Katastrophe sehr spannend.

    Hier gibt es nochmal einen Nachschlag in Form eines Untersuchungsberichts. Zusammenfassung: Viel Gepfusche, schlechtes Material bewusst in Kauf genommen, alles kacke!

  10. Der über 300 Seiten starke Untersuchungsbericht der US-Küstenwache lässt kein gutes Haar an Oceangate. 🔍 Die Implosion des Tauchboots Titan auf dem Weg zum Titanic-Wrack wäre vermeidbar gewesen, wenn grundlegende Sicherheitsstandards eingehalten worden wären.

  11. Ah yes, the perennial #Rust user's lamentation: the #Titanic of #target #directories 🛳️, never to be slimmed down. But lo and behold, the mighty "-Zno-embed-metadata" #flag descends from the heavens, promising to shave off a few bytes here and there. In other news, water is wet 💧.

  12. The events of the past week tragically encapsulates the stark disparity between the wealthy and the poor worldwide. 5 people are more valued, because of their socioeconomic status and the influence inherent with such wealth, than 500+ immigrants fleeing conditions made unlivable by those seeking to enrich and empower themselves at the expense of others.

  14. And you know what? Those five rich dudes are going to keep generating attention (and by extension, money) even after dead. Books. Documentaries. Interviews. On and on and on.

    Refugees will still go well under the radar. #titanicsub #titan #titanic

    @Buntspecht4 Hier im Video mit Tiefen von Seen und jeweils tiefere Gewässer und tiefsten Meere, mit Angaben von versunkene Schiffen und Größenvergleiche zB Tiefe so hoch wie der Eiffelturm usw. Sehr interessant.

  17. “Der sidder 5 millardærer i en ubåd …”

    Det lyder lidt som starten på en joke, ikke? I min optik er historien om de forsvundne #Titanic-turister årets mest medieeksponerede ikke-nyhed.

    I et lidt større perspektiv, og nu gør jeg mig måske skyldig i whataboutism, så har Verden lidt større problemer end fem forliste rigmænd, der frivilligt er gået ned i en ubåd og endda kendte risikoen.

    Sorry. Det er kun medieeksponeringen, der kan bringe mit pis en lille smule i kog.

  18. They have heard banging noises this morning. And, well it does not matter who they are, what their folly may have been, or who is more deserving of rescue My heart hurts. I hope they can be rescued.

  19. The most concerning thing about the mini-submarine that went missing touring around the Titanic is the hundreds of migrants who drown at sea every year and most media and people don't give a shit.
