Raise the Titanic Page #5

water is much colder...

and there're fewer destructive

marine organisms.

She may be surprisingly sound.

The Titanic she sank because the ice rip the

huge hole in her hull.

Now how she suppose to float

with the hole still there?

Well she can't. So we're going to

pack it with special metal plates...

and maker point...

We're goinng to fill her lower compartment

with synthetic foam.

We pump in through hoses placed

it position by our submarsble cruise.

As the foam goes in, the water

in the hole is forced out...

Giving us 22 thousand tons up lift.

Will all that foam bring the Titanic

to the surface?

No, we going need additional lift now

this will be supplied by these tanks.

Filled with Hydrogen gas under high

pressure, an anchored to the Ttitanic's hull.

Then explosives charges will be placed on the sea

bottom around the hull and once they're detonated

the hull will be released loose

from the bottom suction...

and the Titanic will comes to the surface.

If and when you raise it, then what?

- Then, we will hold another press conference.

Thank you all very much.

Are you sure you can't tell us something

about this mineral, byzanium?

I mean how does it

fit in this whole operation?

No argument. I give you all

the informationn I have on that.

People says its more powerful

than plutonium. Is that true?

I've no further comment on it.

- What about The Sicilian Project?

Is it really a code name

for a defense system...

or super bomb with biggest warhead yet?

No comments.

- Is it true that byzanium could fuel a bomb...

a thousand times more powerful

than bomb of Hiroshima?

That's it, gentlemen.

I've given you everything I can for now.

What do you think of it, Vinnie?

- Doesn't sound like any code ever heard.

You know the tapes remake

at a much higher intensity...

than the once I've recorded

and connects with the Carpentar.

Yes make sure think that the signal,

whatever it is, orignates here on the Denver.

Demn sure it does.

Any word from naval inteligence?

Sandecker says we will have

a report by tomorrow.

What's it say about him?

- Marker? He's allright.

He has a good record.

He served as a civilian technition

in Vietnam. He got captured.

Spent two years in a prisoner camp...

and another one years in Japan to get

over that. Married to a Japanese girl.

Yes that what he said, only she was

not Japanese. She grew up in Nam Dinh.

Her family still lives in Haiphong and her brother

in the North Vietnamese army intelligence.

How the hell we missed that one?

Its painted over.

We were supposed to miss.

So they finally let you come

down with us.

I thought you'd never make it.

- Neither did I.

There is no time like the first time.

How do I look to you?

Nothing like I expected.

We got to have a problem with that one.

- Let's take a look.

It hangs from a stack.

We gonna need a help.

Try Deep Quest.

Deep Quest, this is Turtle. We need some help

with this hydrogen tank, its hangs on a stack.

This is Deep Quest can do.

Be right there.

Well, let's do it.

Make the mechanical arms ready.

This is Deep Quest, we're hooked up.

- This is Turtle. You pull, we push.

Its moving.

It feels like it stuck on something.

Deep Quest asks for help.

Keep the arm still.

Son of a b*tch, they are

stuck in that window.

Come on, baby.

Come on, you pretty little thing.

Get some Dady out of there.

Come on...

Indicates electrical fire

on the left.

Battery acid. Put your mask on.

We are on to state of entangled.

Acid's running out of the batteries.

I was half of power

on the panel.

Can we break out these power lanterns?

Well, knock off the power.

We're going up.

Bohannon, move on over here

and standby Deep Quest.

Roger. We are on our way.

How's look down there?

- Not good.

Seagram picked a lousy day

to go to sight scene.

He is a scientist. Who the hell authorise

him for sumersbile duty?

How bad is it? - Or they got themselves

trapped in to that sky like a cork in the bottle.

We are fighting time.

We lost almost all batteries power...

and they are going to be running out of air.

They have about six hours left.

What're choices?

- No choices.

If we can't cut loose that submarsible...

we have to bring up the Titanic.

- Six hours? How we do that?

Target date two weeks away.

Our target date just got changed.

Here's all we got to do.

Eighty charges, each one containing

a hundred pounds of explosives...

At these key points under the hold.

Why're you shaking your head?

Shaking my head, I am shaking all over.

Those charges are double what we planned.

If anything goes wrong we loose four men. But if

we do not bring him up, we lose him anyway.

They got two chances to die

and one to live.

All right now we're going to detonate

the starboard charge first.

Eight seconds later, first one on the port side,

another eight seconds back to starboard.

We alternate the explosions

all the way to holds...

so we setup rocking motion like you do

with a car stuck in the mud.

Would it not be better to put an

extra large charge right on to bow.

Then we shake it loose.

- Too dangerous.

This way we start the right movement

with less risk to the men.

Carbon dioxide rising up.

Can we get some more air?

- No, we can not.

Moving it down to save energy.

The less we talk, the longer we go.

- Exactly.

Everybody just sit down

and relaxed.

Ok, arm it.

Control, this is Seacliff. Explosives secured.

All clear.

- Roger.

Control, this is Turtle. All charges secured.

Seacliff, Turtle, this is Control.

Get the hell out of there.

Moving out.

This is Turtle. Estimated arrival area,

13.05. We're leaving the Titanic.

Start the countdown.

- Start the countdown, I.I sir?

All stations, T minus 50.

Activating Hydrogenium generators.

Twelve, eleven, ten, nine...

eight, seven six, five...

four, three, two, one.

- Start.

Heavens, what is it?

- Trying to blast us loose.

Can they do it?

- They're going to blow hell out of this sub.

It just laying there.

Move, you bastard, move.

What the hell is going on?

- Late hits, last two charges just went off.

Something happening.

something moving down there.

Isn't that a beautiful son of a b*tch?

It's incredible.

There she is.

- Yes.

But where the hell is Deep Quest?

The explosives must have her released.

There she is.

We can not did our service. Head

covers just as jammed as the others.

I got to need dynamite to get

you out of that mass. - Yes.

Yes, just forget it.

Keep the pump running.

We got to wait until we go to New York

to get the right equipment.

What happens?

Where does the Carpentar gone?

This, freighter have a trouble.

We're in trouble.

We need that ship.

We can not ignore this distress call.

- You wanna talk about distress?

We got Navy weather forecasting a force 12 storm,

the Russians are looking down out throats,

we are on a ship never learn

how to do but sink. That's distress.

From the Russian ship. They're asking for permission
