«catastrophic implosion,» there was enthusiasm around the world after the ocean explorer provided the first photos and footage of the Titanic’s underwater grave. Speaking with ET in 1987, the Navy vet summed up his initial reaction to finding the Titanic in one word: «Relief.»«I had been pursuing that ship for 13 years,» he explained. «It was like this big piece of pressure came off my back and I was glad.»After uncovering the ship via cameras that combed the ocean floor, Ballard and his team of researchers performed multiple five-hour roundtrip dives to the Titanic the following year. «It was a pretty tough commute,» he remembered, saying that their vessel was «a very cold, cramped elevator» surrounded by 6,000 pounds of pressure that amounted to «a Cadillac car on every square inch of you.»Of course, those dangerous voyages yielded the world’s first look at the Titanic since it struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912 and 1,500 people died when it sank within hours early the next morning. «It's a very peaceful site, actually.

19-year-old son, Suleman Dawood, who along with his father, Shahzada Dawood, died on the submersible set to explore the ruins of the Titanic. In an interview with the BBC, Christine spoke out for the first time since the news that her son, husband, and three others were confirmed dead after the submersible imploded. Christine shared that when the mission was originally pitched to her husband, she was set to go aboard with him before the trip was canceled due to COVID-19. However, she decided that it would be good for her son to attend the trip with his father.«Then I stepped back and gave them space to set [Suleman] up, because he really wanted to go,» she told the BBC.

Adele posed a question at her Las Vegas concert that, at some point, just about everyone has probably pondered: If given the opportunity, would they have jumped at the opportunity to visit the Titanic at the bottom of the sea in a submersible? In video shared on TikTok, the «Someone Like You» songstress prefaced the question Friday night by acknowledging that the submersible, Titan, imploding and killing all five passengers aboard the 21-foot vessel was «so sad and so tragic.»«But I have been debating with my friends on our group chats. Everyone’s like, 'I would never do that.' But that’s a lie, 'cause a lot of people would do that,» the 35-year-old singer said during her residency at The Colosseum. «I wanna do a vote — not in mind of what happened, 'cause that was so sad and so tragic -- but before this week, how many people would, if they could, would go down to the very, very bottom of the ocean to see the Titanic? Raise your hands.»After a decent amount of people raised their hands, Adele responded with, «See, I knew it! Turn the lights on so I can see the balconies… that's a very good proportion.»But more concertgoers appeared to raise their hands when asked if they wouldn't go on the tour, prompting Adele to raise the stakes and ask if they'd go to space. «I wouldn’t do it either but only because I’m a bit of a p**y.

The Wall Street Journal, the «catastrophic implosion» was actually heard days ago when secret U.S. Navy underwater microphones — designed to detect enemy submarines — first detected the implosion just hours after the OceanGate Expeditions' vessel began its voyage on Sunday.The tourist sub lost contact with the Polar Prince research ship an hour and 45 minutes after submerging in an area approximately 900 miles east of Cape Cod, in the North Atlantic, where the ocean reaches a depth of around 13,000 feet.«The U.S.
