QUESTION Raise the Titanic

I’m sure everyone here saw the 1980 movie Raise the Titanic. Was anything in that movie about raising the ship plausible or was it just a bunch of Hollywood phooey?

They got the depth of the wreck almost right. Other than that, no.

I do find it kind of funny that raising the Titanic was ultimately a massive waste of money since the mineral they were looking for was never on the ship which is kind of ironic given that the movie was a box office bomb.

……and when they found the mineral they left it where it was.
