Titanic

It could have they just didn't.

Yeah, I saw one bit that said it would cost something like $20,000 to do a scan, and this might be necessary after each dive to ensure the vessel was safe. I doubt any remedial measures are effective on a 5 inch thick tube of CF if any defects were found, so scrapping might be the only option. They scrapped the first vessel after only a couple of years and apparently due to fatigue damage.

Netflix is being trolled on social media for its decision to return the movie "Titanic" to its website, just days after the Titan tourist submersible drowned, killing all five onboard. The trolling is mostly in jest, but it does highlight the fact that Netflix is being insensitive to the tragedy. The ill-fated submarine sank in the North Atlantic Ocean, near the wreck of the Titanic, on June 18.

Bringing back Titanic is a safe bet for the streaming giant as it is a popular film that is sure to attract viewers. However, Netflix's decision to return "Titanic" to its website so soon after the sinking of the Titan submarine has been seen by some as "insensitive". The film is about a ship that sinks, and it is possible that some people may find it triggering to watch the film so soon after a real-life tragedy.

A user wrote, “Netflix just couldn’t stop themselves.. Huh”. Another user said, “The timing is so wrong.” “ Netflix saw the opportunity and wasted no time,” a third user commented.

The movie is also available on Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, and Vudu.

I cancelled my Netflix subscription after they removed The Rockford Files. My view is that if they're going to have a TV show or movie on there, then they should keep it on there. There's no reason to remove anything only to bring it back.

Obviously, Titanic was shown on Netflix at some point in the past, then they removed it, and now they're bringing it back - which has generated criticism. If they had just kept it on all along, there would be no criticism.

4 customers at $250,000 each yields $1,000,0000
gross revenue per trip. And the market is strong,
so that price could rise & still maintain no vacancy.
A $20,000 test, if useful, should be no problem
financially.

Well I suspect Rush put his commerce brain ahead of his engineering one - according to the many who have come out criticising his design skills.

This is what Heaven looks like.
Heaven is not up there...it's in our hearts. And God will always be with the people of Titanic.
