This Thursday the death of the 5 occupants of the submersible that was visiting the ruins of the boat was confirmed.
After the nautical authorities confirmed the sad outcome of the case of the loss of the Titán submersible, a vessel that had disappeared last Sunday and was found this Thursday with its five dead occupants, a series of questions have arisen around the case, including beyond the fact itself of the reasons that determined its sinister.
Now, this case that is associated with the legend of the Titanic Transatlantic, sunk in 1912, has become part of a series of unfortunate events that have historically surrounded that vessel: the same one whose remains the occupants of the wrecked submarine planned to visit.
About the Titanic, it is the historic ship that sank in the middle of its maiden voyage in 1912, and whose official history indicates that its sinking originated after the collision with an iceberg, which in turn caused the death of about 1,500 people who perished mostly a product of hypothermia given the low temperatures of the Atlantic Ocean.
Regarding said vessel, it has been pointed out that nearly three-quarters of its occupants of it ended up dead if one takes into account that in total the ocean liner mobilized 2,224 people, who were heading to New York City, after having departed from English ports.
In front of its remains, the same ones that the expedition group intended to visit, more than a century after the sinking, it is estimated that they are located at a depth of 4,000 meters, a point located more than 600 km from the coast.
However, the myth of the Titanic, which has been surrounded by many hypotheses, not only concerns the reasons for its sinking, but a whole series of events surrounding the incident that marked the history of modern navigation.
The myth of the Titanic, the ship that until the date of its sinking was considered the largest and most powerful ship, also goes through the rumor that the ship that was actually sunk was the Olympic and that its sinking would be related to referred interests. to a series of insurances.
Although the remains of the ship, regardless of whether it was the original Titanic or not, sank in 1912, more precisely in April, the discovery of it on the seabed only took place until 1985.
The myth of the Titanic has also been nourished by the launch, in the mid-90s of the eponymous film, which narrated what happened through a love story between Jack and Rose, arousing even greater interest in the original event.
Although when talking about the deaths associated with the Titanic one usually thinks of the tragedy of the sinking, it is necessary to specify that since before its premiere, the Titanic had already determined the death of about a dozen people, related to workers who perished during the Building process.
On the subject, in the port of Belfast rests a plaque with the names of these victims, among which are the names of Samuel Scott, John Kelly, William Clarke, James Dobbin, and Robert Murphy.
Amid the legend of the Titanic, to which the accident of the submersible is now added, the occurrence of a fire inside the ship before launching is also told, a little-known fact.
The fire occurred in the coal deposits, and its control occurred when the ship was already at sea.
Some theories accuse that the impact of the iceberg was so damaging since the fire had already weakened the structure. Similarly, the myth of the Titanic also includes the existence of "an unlucky mummy", whose history is collected by the British Museum in London.
Although it would not be an embalmed body found inside the boat, it is a supposed plaster and wood sarcophagus that was on board the Titanic.
Said sarcophagus would correspond to the priestess of the god Amun Re, and according to international media, a curse would weigh on her, while a traveler who had acquired it was exposed to a series of misfortunes after the fact, in a series of actions that not only they affected him, but also his family and friends.
The tragedy of this Thursday was confirmed after the authorities affirmed that there could be no survivors since the oxygen chamber would already be exhausted after 96 hours had elapsed since the boat submerged.
