Position:Home>History> Have people dived down into the titanic or was it just robots?


Question:Well, people haven't "dived" because it's so deep, the pressure would kill a human, not to mention, there wouldn't be enough oxygen in the tank to allow you to get down there and back even if you could.

What they have done, though, is taken vessels and released the robots from there to do the actual exploring. Various clips from the opening scene in the 1997 film were actual videos of the Titanic (none of the interiors, but the exteriors, as you first see the ship, etc.) If I'm not mistaken, those submarines (though not the actual shots in the movie, of course) are real, and people do go down in them.

think it is just robots... the pressure would be too much for the divers.

No human can survive being down that deep, they would be crushed. So no. Just probes

The mini subs used have had people in them but to my knowledge it is too deep for diving into.

Its just been robots, the water is too cold for people to bear. They go down in little subs, but send in the little robots into the ship itself.

just robots. the ship is too far from the surface for any human to reach it. the pressure would be too much on their body.

They found it with robots, and a few people have been down there in tiny subs made for exploring the ocean floor.

They first sent robots down then a manned submarine.

The pressure is too great for divers so the work and filming had to be done with either robot submarines or robotic arms manipulated from inside the manned submarine

A team of human explorers have been down deep to the Titanic in a special pressurized submarine specially made for their expedition.
Although for the majority it has been robots.
