Titanic Sub Passengers Signed A Chilling Tour 'Waiver' Which Listed 'Death' 3 Times On Page One

A man who went on the Titanic wreckage expedition in the same missing submersible has disclosed the remarkably comprehensive waiver that passengers were required to sign. Mike Reiss, a producer, and writer for The Simpsons, embarked on the expedition with OceanGate last year.

Emmy Award-winning writer-producer for "The Simpsons," Mike Reiss, embarked on a remarkable journey inside OceanGate Expedition's Titan submersible, descending 13,000 feet alongside four companions to witness the historical wreckage.

In an interview with New York Post, Mike Reiss shared a personal account of a submersible trip to the Titanic wreckage that revealed risks and warnings.

"Death is always lurking; it's always in the back of your mind," says Mr. Reiss, highlighting the inherent dangers of the journey. He reveals that even before boarding the boat, passengers must sign a lengthy waiver that mentions death three times on page one.

The Submersible's Design and Journey to the Ocean Floor

Describing the submersible, Mr. Reiss compares its interior to a spacious minivan without seats, stating it is well-designed, resembling a serene spa waiting room. The sub's simple desktop fan-like engines propel it during the approximately two-and-a-half-hour descent to the ocean floor.

Mr. Reiss even finds the journey so peaceful that he falls asleep.

Challenges in Locating the Titanic Wreckage

Navigating in darkness, Mr. Reiss explains that finding the Titanic wreckage was challenging. The submersible's compass malfunctioned, leading to a 90-minute search before "stumbling" upon the ship with only 20 minutes left to observe.

Mr. Reiss expresses his awe at seeing the famous ship in person, noting its resemblance to the pictures.

Safety Concerns and Lessons Learned

Upon resurfacing, a winch abruptly interrupts the submersible's ascent, causing the vessel to tilt and its occupants to fall to the bottom. Mr. Reiss emphasizes feeling safe during the trip but admits he wouldn't retake the risk. He draws parallels to early aviation and space exploration, acknowledging that unforeseen challenges can arise during such pioneering endeavors.

Thoughts on the Missing Submersible

Mr. Reiss expresses profound concern for the missing submersible and its occupants, acknowledging the vastness of the ocean and the potential difficulty of rescue.

He concludes with a sad reflection, stating that if the submersible is indeed stuck at the ocean's bottom, he sees no foreseeable way out, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.

According to Maximilian Cremer, the director of the ocean technology group at the University of Hawaii marine center, the US Coast Guard will conduct a verification process to determine the connection between the debris field discovered in the search area and the missing Titanic submersible.

While it is not unusual to find a debris field near the wreck of the Titanic, Cremer mentioned that it is essential to assess the actual nature of the debris and whether the search vehicle captured any video footage.

The US Coast Guard's decision to share the news about the debris field may suggest that they have observed something within the debris that raises doubts about its connection to the Titanic.

However, a verification process is underway to determine its association with the missing submersible.

Regarding the submersible's oxygen supplies, experts have emphasized the importance of remaining calm and conserving energy while awaiting rescue. Suppose there were any issues on board the sub.

In that case, it is expected that a brief period of excitement and panic might occur before a strong leader would guide the crew into a state of hibernation, conserving oxygen and minimizing energy consumption.

As the search and rescue efforts continue, the verification process and careful analysis of the debris field will be crucial in uncovering more information about the missing submersible and its occupants.
