Why didn't the OceanGate Expeditions Titan submarine have a boat follow it -- MrBayAreaHokie Jun 20, 2023 at 02:46 PM ET

I would think there would be a thought-out contingency for any possible -- MikeVT85 Jun 20, 2023 at 06:48 PM ET

It's an intuitive, ergonomic computer interface. Don't get hung up on that.** -- JoesterVT Jun 20, 2023 at 08:27 PM ET

I read 96 hour supply...but, looking at pictures, I think that depends -- Vienna_Hokie Jun 20, 2023 at 07:47 PM ET

I have lots of questions around this accident -- VT Pez4Life Jun 20, 2023 at 03:18 PM ET

I wonder how many takers the company will have for their next submarine... -- EDGEMAN Jun 20, 2023 at 03:49 PM ET

EDGEMAN • 06/20/23 03:49 PM ET
