Nominated several versions of the death of the expedition to the Titanic.
On the night of April 14-15, 1912, one of the most famous disasters in the history of mankind happened. The British passenger steamer Titanic sank in the Atlantic Ocean. For more than a hundred years, this tragedy has been well studied, it was filmed a bunch of films.
The most famous film about the sinking of a transatlantic liner is James Cameron’s Oscar-winning film “Titanic”. The last hours of the steamship are especially vividly presented in the film, many episodes are based on real stories.
For example, at the end of the movie “Titanic” you can see a scene of an elderly couple cuddling on a bed while their cabin is filled with water. The prototypes of the actors were the deceased first class passengers, retail magnate Isidor Strauss and his wife Ida.
And who would have thought that in more than a hundred years their great-granddaughter Wendy Rush would work in the management of OceanGate, which owned the Titan submersible that went to the wreckage of a British liner?
Moreover, at the helm (more precisely, behind the game joystick) of the expeditionary submarine was the husband of a relative of the drowned passengers of the Titanic, Stockton Rush. The American newspaper The New York Times learned about the tragic connection between generations.
Alas, the death of the bathyscaphe “Titan” is already a fact. The US Coast Guard found some of the wreckage of the submarine, Tsargrad clarifies. According to one version, the ship broke into two parts, Radio 1 notes.
Recall that the expeditionary deep-sea vehicle stopped communicating last Sunday, June 18, and already on Thursday, June 22, it was supposed to run out of oxygen. However, according to the TV channel “360” there is a version that the bathyscaphe “Titan” exploded, unable to withstand the pressure of the water.
