I can't understand the fascination with the Titanic.
I was intrigued by the topic when I was younger, because I was a kid when the 1997 movie came out and they made a huge deal out of it.
They hooked the audience with a BS made up love story.
Even when I was a kid, I recognized that it was just a strategy to invoke an emotional response out of people.
Then when the 20th anniversary of the movie came around, they roped in a whole new generation of Titanic obsessors with the drama.
They just keep on capitalizing on this loosh harvest, it's clear as day.
I stopped being interested in the Titanic over 10 years ago when I finally found out WHY they took it out, to get to John Jacob Astor IV, et al. It demystifies the situation and if you keep being interested in it beyond that, I don't know about you.
Most certainly anyone obsessed enough with it to pay $250k to go down there on a rinkydink jerryrigged sub has got issues that they need to think about long and hard.
Again, not being judgemental of the dead...
There are plenty of people who are still alive who have gone down there to gawk at the ocean's most famous graveyard. They need to check themselves.
