Never-Before-Seen Video of Sunken Titanic

Eyes on Wreck

The crew of HOV Alvin drank in the spectacle of a shipwreck’s haunting bow, recording the historic moment with their vehicle’s underwater video camera. The three researchers were the first humans to lay eyes on the “unsinkable” passenger liner, RMS Titanic, since her ill-fated voyage in 1912. Their 1986 expedition captured video near the bottom of the North Atlantic, some 400 miles south off the coast of Newfoundland, where the vessel sank nearly 75 years earlier. Much of that footage remained unreleased—until now. In September 1985, Dr. Robert Ballard of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) led the team that first discovered the ship’s final resting place nearly 12,500 feet below

Imagery? Impressive. Making us wait 38 years to see it, though? Not at all impressive...

Actually, Ballard did a great video documentary that was shown on PBS in the 90's IIRC. The bulkhead stuff wasn't part of the documentary, but the other stuff like the lounge and some cabins were. Love all the stuff about the Titanic.

Nothing new here. So, these were the first photos taken. OK. Someone I know who closely followed this pursuit lost all respect for Ballard, who gave the competing expedition from France - who scoured much more of the ocean floor than Woods Hole - no credit for their efforts. He then simply went and looked where they hadn't.

I could never watch that movie, and hate looking at the pictures. When I was a kid, my Dad worked at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard when the submarine Thresher sank off the coast of Portsmouth with all crew lost. He was tasked with visiting the families of the crew. It was horrible.

Reply 8: I am so with you. My Dad was on an earlier voyage of the Thresher (he was an electrical engineer). The day the Thresher went down was a very sad day in our household. Still remember the pictures of the Thresher he had.

For two years now, we have heard about an insurrection that everyone knows was bogus.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration is being sued in federal court for a law declaring California a "sanctuary state" for minors seeking transgender medical procedures. Our Watch, a California parental rights nonprofit, is to file a lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California Western Division against Attorney General Rob Bonta. The filing, to be submitted by Advocates for Faith and Freedom, demands a jury trial regarding Senate Bill 107, which Newsom signed into law in September. It also seeks injunctive relief, a judicial declaration that the law is unconstitutional, as well as the recovery of attorney fees.

The federal government’s program of releasing many illegal immigrants rather than holding them until their cases are resolved violates federal law, a U.S. judge ruled on March 8. “The evidence establishes that Defendants have effectively turned the Southwest Border into a meaningless line in the sand and little more than a speedbump for aliens flooding into the country,” U.S. District Judge Judge T. Kent Wetherell, a Trump appointee, said in the ruling. Wetherell struck down Alternatives to Detention, a program through which President Joe Biden’s administration has released more than one million aliens into the U.S. interior.

Carlson showed CCTV security video of Chansley walking calmly through the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Not only did the police not try to stop Chansley, they escorted him, Carlson said. “Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape,” (snip) Capitol Police never stopped Jacob Chansley.

For forty-five years (1964 to 2009), the United States experienced significant progress in race relations. Thanks to the efforts of individual citizens in their communities throughout all regions of the country, this nation was well on its way to racial healing. In 2008 only 18% of Americans were greatly concerned or worried about the state of race relations in the country as nearly 70% thought that relations between Whites and Blacks were very or somewhat good. In 2009, the most divisive and societally destructive president in American history, Barack Obama, came into office determined to reverse this trend by manipulating the Black citizenry into abandoning racial harmony by utilizing

Jenna Ellis, an attorney who advised then-President Donald Trump as he tried to overturn the 2020 election results, was censured for misconduct Wednesday by a Colorado Supreme Court judge. The Colorado Supreme Court’s Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel said that Ellis violated a Colorado rule for professional conduct that prohibits “misrepresentation” by attorneys. The office said Ellis made a series of public statements about the 2020 election that were false. “The public censure in this matter reinforces that even if engaged in political speech, there is a line attorneys cannot cross, particularly when they are speaking in a representative capacity,” the office said in a statement.

In return, the politicians vote to increase the pay of the union members.
