It’s unclear to me what the “63 years without a fatality” track record refers to. Private submarines?

- mathgeek 3y agoSame here. There have been hundreds of documented fatalities on lost subs since 1960.
- gjadi 3y agoI think he's referring to subs diving specifically to the Titanic.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoThe Titanic wreck wasn't found until 37 years ago, so that doesn't make sense either.
- quasarsunnix 3y agoDeep sea submersibles such as the Alvin.
- Xylakant 3y agoI think he's referring to the Trieste, which reached the Challenger Deep in early 1960. All losses since then are military submarines, AFAICT. German Wikipedia loves lists, so here's one https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_U-Boot-Ungl%C3%BCcken_seit_1945 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_U-Boot-Ungl%C3%BCcke...
