Titanic tourist sub missing

How does this keep getting more insane?




This really is your brain on libertarianism isn’t it?

So he was using old Boeing STOCK by the TON and it sounds like he RUSHed it.

I’ll tell you what this is right pain in the arse posting from my phone.

Holding the phone in front of you works better.

Just so we can be clear about this...

Died having an expensive, badly designed and built jolly. I am sneering though. I fucking hate billionaires.

I have a feeling the company is gonna file for bankruptcy before compensation claims are made.

I do wonder about some of you peoples sense of rationality. The fact you don’t seem to understand why this has captured the imagination against other horrific much more Numerous tragedies it’s no wonder the left is fucked. if you are advocating. Clueless, you don’t understand humans at all. yeah shit posting. I know.

Sadly these much more numerous tragedies you refer to indeed fail to capture our imaginations.But you may be sure that they are capturing imaginations as we speak in places like Cote d'Ivoire,Mali,Nigeria etc.This is crap about " not understanding humans" but hey it's Friday night

Noticed their website was offline earlier - not clear whether they've pulled it or its been subject to a DDOS attack or the like.

If Bojo thinks this is inspiring, I think we can do a GoFundMe to provide Geoff in Flint (who has already drawn a prototype up on some napkins in the pub) to fashion a vessel out of an old gas tank and some cabling that somehow came in to his possession.

Off you go Johnson, into the abyss for Britain. #swashbuckling #worldbeating

Made out of a fridge, and dead in a deep sea ditch would be appropriate considering his past rhetoric.

Why not? Everybody else does. Just part of wonderful innovative neoliberal capitalism (we wouldn't have dodgy submarines if it wasn't for these captains of industry).

Just hold it in your hand and use your fingers to type.

wouldn't their insurance company (if they had one) still be liable after bankruptucy though?

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Anyway I should probably have a break. Just looking for a fight really.

They’re dead. I’m surprised the thread is still going because they’re dead.

Insurance companies are notoriously wriggly though and will try to get out of paying.

We've all seen millionaire shortbread, we've not seen billionaire jam yet.

Depends on the insurance agreement and the company I guess. Lloyds do a lot of marine stuff. I think they can seize assets of the firm and the outstanding value of any part paid shares if the laws are similar to ours but take that with a pinch of salt (i haven't worked in finance for 25 years) if it's a limited liability entity. Depends on what type of organisation, who owns what, etc. They'd have to prove bankruptcy.

That's why i was so pleased about the space ventures.

They’re not dead. It’s all faked like that canoeist bloke in Durham did. They’ll be hiding out in South America living off the life insurance money for years.

Interesting engineering breakdown from a guy who works on rigs.

Thatcher's still dead but she gets loads of mentions on here regardless - and quite right too! They're all a bunch of cunts (apart from the 19 year old etc)!

It's the fucking Daily Mail. They were inevitably going to have a shit take.

Five people died after OceanGate's Titan sub imploded during a trip to the Titanic wreck this week.

They've been dead all along. From the moment they set off they probably had a 0% chance of survival.

Have we had this yet?

OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush email exchange with Submersible Operations Expert (Rob McCallum)



I've been wondering from the beginning whether the submersible was unsinkably double hulled.

It's a good job he was on board otherwise he'd be getting sued to fuck right now.

IIRC it was the search for the wrecks of the Thresher and Scorpion that was the real purpose of Bob Ballard's hunt for the Titanic, which was pretty-much a cover story - He only got to look for the Titanic once he had found them for the US Navy who bankrolled his operation and he didn't get very long to look for it.

I'm not convinced any insurance company would have touched that. And if they did, they deserve it for obviously skipping out on due diligence.

That video by the engineer above is very good. Covers the problems with the hull being made out of carbon fibre/fibreglass or whatever it was, the structure not being uniform, etc. Also mentions the problems with this type of Deep Sea Vehicle, being something along the lines of you don't get a leak, either the hull holds, or it doesn't.

Instead he got souped.

Yes and a Navy submersible was used in the expedition. Safety was paramount
