Article Summary and Response:
The article from Sciences et Avenir discusses the discovery of a incident that occurred on the submersible used in the exploration of the Titanic wreckage before the fatal accident that killed all passengers on board. The incident involved a collision of the submersible with a piece of wreckage, which damaged the submersible’s acrylic dome. However, the submersible was able to continue its journey and complete its mission.
The response to this article is that while it is interesting to learn about the previous incident on the submersible, it does not necessarily provide any new insights or explanations for the fatal accident that occurred. The collision did not seem to have caused any major issues with the submersible’s functioning, and it is unclear whether it had any impact on the fatal accident that occurred on a later mission. Therefore, while the information is notable, it does not significantly affect our understanding of the Titanic tragedy.
