Titanium isn't magnetic.
I'm sure there are tons of other issues with that plan too. Like how impossible it would be to control the location of a magnet in ocean currents at the end of miles of cable.

I don’t know much about physics, but I’m pretty sure that the force needed to pull that magnet up would have to be stronger to counteract the buoyancy and pressure 300 miles below sea level.
Plus you’d need a 370 mile long cable that is strong and stable enough to not snap as well as a huge fukking magnet. I doubt they have shyt like that just lying around.
That shyt is literally impossible, hell you could probably get every ship in the US naval fleet attached to it, pulling at full throttle, and it still wouldn’t be strong enough to pull it out

I've never done anything calculating something like that before, but I don't think it works that way. The pressure on the craft is pretty much the same on all sides, so in terms of moving the submarine, the pressure cancels out.
Bigger issue would be pulling up the weight of that many miles of super strong cable. If you could even manufacture and transport that much cable.

Wiki article right now makes it sound like the entire operation was a total shytshow.
"Once the occupants are aboard, the hatch is closed and bolted from the outside; there is no way to open the hatch from inside the vessel."
"In addition, there is no on-board navigation system; the support ship, which monitors the position of Titan relative to its target, sends text messages to Titan providing distances and directions."
"Journalist David Pogue, who rode in Titan to view the Titanic in 2022, noted that Titan was not equipped with an emergency locator beacon; during his expedition, the surface support vessel lost track of the Titan 'for about five hours, and adding such a beacon was discussed. They could still send short texts to the sub, but did not know where it was. It was quiet and very tense, and they shut off the ship's internet to keep us from tweeting.'"
"David Lochridge, the OceanGate Director of Marine Operations, inspected the Titan as it was being handed over from Engineering to Operations and filed a quality control report in January 2018 in which he stated that no non-destructive testing of the carbon fiber hull had taken place to check for voids and delaminating which could compromise the hull's strength. Instead, Lochridge was told that OceanGate would rely on the real-time acoustic monitoring system, which he felt would not warn the crew of potential failure with sufficient time to safely abort the mission and evacuate."
"The day after he filed his report, he was summoned to a meeting in which he was told the acrylic window was only rated to 1,300 m (4,300 ft) depth because OceanGate would not fund the design of a window rated to 4,000 m (13,000 ft). In that meeting, he reiterated his concerns and added he would refuse to allow crewed testing without a hull scan; Lochridge was dismissed from his position as a result. OceanGate filed a lawsuit against Lochridge that June, accusing him of improperly sharing proprietary trade secrets and fraudulently manufacturing a reason to dismiss him. The suit was settled in November 2018."
"In January 2020, the hull of Titan began showing signs of cyclic fatigue and the craft was de-rated to 3,000 m (9,800 ft).[27] The Spencer-built composite cylindrical hull either was repaired or replaced by Electroimpact and Janicki Industries in 2020 or 2021, prior to the first trips to Titanic."

Breh this is straight up criminal negligence and absolutely mind numbing.
No emergency beacon?! Like how tf?!

Horrifying to think they might’ve not been immediately crushed and killed. Any other scenario is terrifying
Somebody on FB said “imagine paying 250k to see the titanic and getting the full experience “.

I think it because of media
But one of them being a billionaire helps

Plus anytime there's some unexplained event (i.e. Missing Malaysian Flight) it draws a lot of attention b/c ppl want to know wtf happened, and how, including myself. The fact that it's some sort of extreme, horror movie type of occurrence also draws attention. Had it been a billionaire lost at sea on a yacht it wouldn't have the same "draw" as the absurdity of a missing submarine.

I think the navy would still have gotten involved even if it wasn't a billionaire onboard. This is a good opportunity for anti submarine training and rescue tactics.

I feel like the pressures incurred at that level of depth probably crushed the vessel if it's truly near the ocean floor where the Titanic resides. Just seeing this image for scale makes the plausibility for rescue seemingly unrealistic. Literally it would be 6000+ pounds of pressure per square inch, on a vessel navigated by a video-game controller...
