Dear Kelly. Ocean can be very cold. When we seek the unknown. We will dance with death. The beauty and secrets of the sea. Protected. I live near Lake Superior. She is a dangerous lake. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

tragic to say the least although i'm sure they knew that there were risks. now they are forever interred with those and that which they sought to learn about. ironic - now others are going down to learn about them ... :)

If I were that nineteen year old boy's mother, I think I would rather have him here walking this earth, then to be a piece of history. There were waivers that each signed, detailing the possibility of death. The teenage boy was "terrified" to go, but did so because of his father. May their families find much solace in knowing they met their fate quickly. Thank you, Pete. I appreciate your feedback!

Some of us blame those explorers but we should mourn their exit from life. Adventurers at heart are the people who drive civilization forward. From the age of the vikings to the wild wild west to the current age, the spirit of adventure remain humanity's greatest strength
Adieu to them

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you for a most profound review, Akinlolu. Safety measures that should have been taken, were ignored. Five lives have paid the sacrifice.

[Akinlolu]

It was a needless waste of life. That makes it more tragic.

[John the Baptist]

A truly sad story. Two miles down is no place to take a tourist trip.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you most kindly, John!

Thank you, Carl!

Sad and in a strange way hopeful for the human spirit. As James Cameron said. It is strange the same thing happend for the same reasons. Both the Titan and the Titanic were apparently unsinkable.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Ken!

Well said Kelly.
We do not choose the time of our own death, but we cannot live in fear of it either. That these men perished is unfortunate, but some are willing to accept the risk and pursue something bigger than themselves.
Thankfully ... there would have been no suffering for them ... only for their families.

A senyru that is a fitting tribute.

[Kelly Scheppers]

We can only pray that they knew nothing was about to happen. Thank you, Ted!

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

A beautiful tribute, Kelly. Aside from the nineteen-year-old, who merely agreed to go to make his father happy, they died doing what they wanted to do. I think there's a blessing in that. Most of us will never know that luxury.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I believe my heart breaks a little more for the son. His life was merely beginning. Thank you, Linda!

[D. Mansfield]

Sad indeed. Nice tribute Kelly

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, David!
