The Digital Labyrinth :: TDL: June 2023

Either another sub should have tagged along that could have rescued it, or at least have a rescue sub stationed on the surface, just incase anything went wrong.

It's not that it was forbidden for the Titanic to have another ship following it no more than a km away, or that this sub should have had an emergency response vehicle stationed on the surface. It's as if there was no reason to think that things might go seriously wrong. Thus, no need to allow for such a contingency.

Even today almost any ship or sub should have the option of being accompanied by an escort-vessel. At the very least, there should have been the equivalent of a tow-truck sub on standby on the surface.

If even one very wealthy passenger on the Titanic paid for a ship to discreetly follow it, almost everyone could have been rescued. Instead, so many people drowned or froze to death, because it took too long for other ships to arrive.

If the wealthiest person in the-sub could have paid for an emergency response sub to be stationed on the surface, then a rescue could have been started shortly after communication was lost.

Biologists create detailed lab replicas of early human embryos

A lot of things can be grown in a lab and some of these things might be spliced and composed of unnatural genetic combinations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splice_(2009_film)#Plot

The movies Embryo and Splice depict secret lab experiments.

A bus crashes with a semi in Manitoba

https://winnipegsun.com/news/provincial/at-least-10-killed-in-crash-on-trans-canada-highway-in-western-manitoba-report

The Carberry_highway_collision is the worst of its kind in Manitoba. Of course even a highway with a concrete divider can still have plenty of crashes.

In canada, several highway intersections still don't have overpasses and have traffic lights instead. At-grade intersections, especially on the Trans-Canada Highway, should be brought up to proper freeway standards.

A divided highway can be a little safer than one that isn't.

Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing in Vancouver, BC

The Ironworkers_Memorial_Second_Narrows_Crossing or bridge, had a chance to be designed to be bigger and better in 1958. Unfortunately, it's just a 6 lane bridge, like the old Champlain_Bridge_(Montreal).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironworkers_Memorial_Second_Narrows_Crossing#Collapse

Either a new transit bridge with 2 rail rapid transit tracks and 2 bus & 2 HOV lanes should be built beside it, or something like the new Champlain_Bridge_(Montreal).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champlain_Bridge_(Montreal,_2019-present)#Specifications 8 lanes with 2 train tracks, bike & walkways.

The Sydney_Harbour_Bridge has 8 lanes, 2 tracks, bike and foot paths.

The Trans-Canada Highway

So much of the Trans-Canada_Highway was just a 2 lane backcountry road. Then eventually the challenge was to make it to become at least a 4 lane divided highway.

Quatermass and the Pit, Aliens or Demons?

Quatermass_and_the_Pit is quite an interesting ancient ET science fiction movie.

Why do so many descriptions of cosmic aliens seem to look demonic?

Of course some insects and aquatic life looks like they cold be from hell as well, but that's just how they look.

Eventually, as more data is gathered and linked to each person, a world Social Obedience Score (SOS) can be determined. Such a score would be determined by AI, of course. Unfortunately, most of humanity might not realize that at a certain point its sovereignty was given over to AI or Digital Intelligence.
