Titanic tourist sub missing

[Magnus McGinty]

This super-technical appraisal comes to you by Storm Fox ... off the internet.

It does sound somewhat amateur compared with the control components of say a 747 which undertakes less risky endeavours. I don’t think anyone needs to be an expert to know that.

Fuck that shit, it can fuck off and when it does fuck off it can go and fuck right off.

I can’t even sleep in a 2 man tent, I sometimes can’t even have the duvet over me. To get in that and go where they went.

As I say, fuck that shit.

It's the kind of old bollocks, pulled out of an arsehole, speculation that this place so often excels at.

It’s what is being reported. What are you going on?

 

[MickiQ]

I think it's 1 atmosphere of pressure for 10m of water. So that's 200 Atmospheres or about 3000 psi. The tanker imploding up thread is less than 1 Atmosphere.

Pretty much spot on Sir

"Knocked out of the pilots hands", "can't see it in low-light", "thumb extensions" ... fuck off.

Well if any of them are alive, they should all be, unless you think some have killed others.

No idea as to the health of them, they'll die according to their individual ability to survive but we may never know what order they died. Hopefully they'll be rescued.

"Knocked out of the pilots hands", "can't see it in low-light", "thumb extensions" ... fuck off.

Fair enough.

"Knocked out of the pilots hands", "can't see it in low-light", "thumb extensions" ... fuck off.

A lot of these fallacies are completely dismantled here

 

[WouldBe]

Still even a few minutes thought by me, a rusty engineer and amateur diver, can devise a reasonable-chance-of-survival safety system:

1) An automatic timer starts at the beginning of the dive.
2) After say 5 hours (nominal mission duration) the timer triggers inflation of one or more heavy duty lift bags fitted to the upper surface of the vessel.

Might work unless they have a total power failure.

You have a bit of a thing for aquatic grifters tbf.

Unless someone eventually finds the vessel and, like the poor fuckers on Kursk, they leave last letters to their loved ones.

This abort system would be completely separate from and independent of the main electrical system. For increased redundancy/reliability I might install two independent control assemblies. This is normal safety engineering philosophy.

We've had quite enough of experts around here

Should have called it tincan not titan

who called another boat the titan whilst going to see titanic

have they never read this book

published before the original titanic about a ship called the titan sinking

That would be the sensible thing to do.

Def don't want spurts in a sub.

The Titans were thrown into the sea weren’t they? They were stripped of their God status and banished from the world above the water. Isn’t that meant to be one of the horrible ironies of the original Titanic being named after them? It does seem like tempting fate to then name the viewing vessel after the same. I thought seamen were meant to be superstitious.

 

[not-bono-ever]

There is little in the world that is a tough as a PS/Xbox controller tbf. Yes they run out of batteries but they keep on going otherwise .Seems a logical choice for the budget conscious ropey tourist abyss darkness forever gelatinous ooze exploring company

 

[Flavour]

You sick fuck lol

At least shell out for the xbox elite though.

I always liked the term gelatinous ooze wrt ocean depths from my geology days.

Stick it in an otterbox case and it will survive nuclear Armageddon

I discovered recently that the Royal Navy have to ask the titans if they can cross the equator. Then they switch the lights out, beat up the officers and then get pissed.
Sounds fab!

E2A Crossing the line:

Crossing the Line explained: Centuries-old Navy tradition to gain acceptance of 'King Neptune'

It's a traditional rite of passage and has become key in developing a sense of community among the ship's company.

Neptune rather than Titans. Unless he is one.

thankfully the people search for the sub have some real expert to lean upon

Where does gelatinous ooze sit on the MOH scale?

Shouldn't this thread be in the sub-forums?
boom tish

 

[pseudonarcissus]

The maker of the lost Titan submersible previously complained about strict passenger-vessel regulations, saying the industry was 'obscenely safe'

In a 2019 interview about the Titan, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush lamented the effect of safety regulations on the commercial submersible industry.

Hmmmm

how long does the oxygen last in these mini subs?
