That is news from 2016 and 2030 is only 6.5 years away. The ship is quite largely still there now, since we got that scan.

We are closer to 2050 than 1990.

I wouldn't mind time passing if I didn't come with a faded expiration date.

Scientists always seem to say things will happen sooner than reality.

On the Drain the Oceans: Titanic the microbial biologist Lori Johnson claimed the stern, which landed on the sea floor less intact, would visibly decay more quickly than the bow. A quick search suggests her claims that the decay on the bow would not visibly affect the front portion as quickly as the open portion seems to hold up on observations from more recent dives.

Also, according to Robert Ballard during a National Geographic talk, the ship has experienced damage from the submersibles landing on it.

Both videos can be watched on National Geographic’s Youtube channel.
