Titanic tourist sub missing

[Tanya1982]

"Dive expert David Mearns told the BBC the president of the Explorers Club - which is connected to the diving and rescue community - says the debris includes "a landing frame and a rear cover from the submersible"

Titan sub debris field: Parts of missing sub's cover found, expert says

Debris found in the search includes a landing frame and a rear cover from the submersible.

IT'S STILL TRUE !!#*&&^!

On Sky he said the rear cover wasn’t essential, it was there ‘because it looked cool’. So that’s nice. None of what you need but flourishes to pamper someone's vanity a bit more. I’m deeply sorry it sounds as if the four passengers didn’t have the chance to take it up with the arsehole who designed it once it failed.

Apparently the French diver onboard had been involved in the Air France investigation - so despite what’s been said, not even all of the four older men were just egotistical super-rich boys playing with toys. I really feel for the surviving parent of Suleman - her son was just a kid starting out at the beginning of his adult life.

I think planetgeli called it first though.

Actually it was savoloysam

Credit where it's due and all that

wasted with an outside shoot of the sub would be more accurate

Happy, everyone?

Five people dead. In the most horrendous way possible. Result you wanted?

I want more dead billionaires.
soz, not soz

 

[nogojones]

Just sayin... leapin all over the watery grave of this young guy. I doubt his mum is. So, so crass.

I kind of hope that means it fell to bits and everyone went quickly at least

Probably likely it imploded on the way down when contact was first lost.

You were happy to poor scorn all over the abuse that Azeem Rafiq experienced so suck up your fake morals.

It's an awful way to go, but absolute stupidity from the owners and the adults who should have known better, but I don't care beyond that.

Gotta celebrate that inheritance somehow - of you're going to be a billionaire, might as do it with a shit band.

 

[bellaozzydog]

Do you have any children?

Not that I’m paying 250,000 quid for them to do submarining.

What’s your point caller

 

[planetgeli]

I expect the SAR has just become a skeleton operation now.

They're skeletons already? Those deep sea fish don't fuck about

What would happen to a human body in an implosion at that depth?

 

[steveo87]

well this was fun while it lasted. deffo best news story of 2023.

Dunno, that week in Febuary when no one was entirely sure if we were being invaded by aliens, and the US government had public state it probably wasn't the case is up there.

What would happen to a human body in an implosion at that depth?

Given the overwhelming pressure, instant molecular disintegration I'd have thought.

I've done no research. It's the Urban way

 

[NoXion]

So, a catastrophic implosion of the pressure hull is looking to be the likely failure mode for this complete hash of a submersible craft. The rear cover might have been attached with gaffer tape and dreams, but that landing frame looks like it could have been more firmly attached. If I were to make a bet, I'd say that it was the front viewing porthole that went first. That shit's most likely to fail if it's only one-third as strong as it needs to be.

Turns out that manned excursions to environments extremely hostile to human life are massively expensive and laden with redundancies for some pretty damn good reasons. NASA has learnt these lessons well, which is why their manned space program moves as slow as it does. Safety is not optional if you want to come back alive.

Ideally ones who haven’t sorted their tax planning in the event of an untimely death

What would happen to a human body in an implosion at that depth?

The pressure is around 390 bar, which - to put in more comprehensible terms - is 5656 pounds/square inch. Or around 400kg on a square centimetre. So very rapidly mush.

I bet it looks really fucking cool 4000m down at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean

 

[pseudonarcissus]

The mother ship is owned by the Miawpukek First Nation, a Mi'kmaq band in Newfoundland, not sure if that will add yet another layer of legal complexity

it's probably just chartered to OceanGate on a voyage-by-voyage basis.

 

[seeformiles]

I’ve been pondering the notion that the intense efforts were in anticipation of some kind of reward from the grateful survivors - no, no, that’s just crazy talk….

TBF I think he's entirely entitled to not sit at home being anguished, Jesus, let people do what they need to cope. His not going wouldn't have fucking helped anyone.

With many years ahead to fall in line
Why would you wish that on me?

Presumably the reverse of what happens to a blobfish.

Mythbusters put a pig in a deep sea diving suit and compressed it to 135psi, and this happened:

Spoiler: Video showing the effect of water pressure on a pig carcass

The people in the submersible would have been subjected to more than 20 times that pressure, and almost instantaneously.

I’m not going to watch that but thanks.
