Titanic tourist sub missing

[Pickman's model]

Why do you keep assuming the race of these rich people? 2 of the 5 people on board are from Pakistan.

why do you assume race from country of origin?

A chain is the length of a cricket wicket, would need a few chains of rope to reach the Titanic.

a chain of chains. with anne robinson to point out the weakest link

 

[Glitter]

well, you can. but not hundreds of miles from land. not to mention that it's a devil of a thing to guide down 2-3 miles under water

And if they’re stuck under something presumably the rope would just hit it too and be utterly useless.

They live(d) in Surrey. Think the son was born in Surrey too.

you're quite right, you'd need a jack too

I see today everyone is an expert on deep sea submersibles.

Looking forward to what we’ll be proficient in tomorrow

Piloted using a logitech gamepad, fuck me.

Couldn't even be bothered to spend extra to buy the official PS4 controller.

 

[Elpenor]

Maybe they’ve been sucked into the same vortex that MH370 went into

 

[Ax^]

Uses Elon Musk's Starlink for comms apparently, please let it be his fault somehow.

shush you have stalker one coming on to the thread to blame the ESG

pull dead bodies from the seabed the way the story is going

Fucking hell

Spoiler: Essential submarine survival kit

 

[Cid]

Jesus fucking christ, it looks right Heath Robinson, I wouldn't go to the shops in that, let alone the depths of the ocean.

Yeah, that's the thing I think. Just seems all kinds of wrong... I might go in a Triton 36000/2. Although that may be overkill given it's been to challenger deep (another 7000 odd meters). But I feel this is what the inside of a submersible should look like:

And the outside:

(the pressure vessel is spherical, just that bit in the bottom center)

 

[Sweet FA]

With emojis or without?

 

[Cid]

They do one for Titanic depths too... Although I don't think they've built one yet. It looks significantly cooler, and that is obviously the main criteria. Again only two crew, and a very thick acrylic sphere.

The world's deepest-diving acrylic-hull submersible perfect for filmmakers and scientists observing and recording the Titanic.

tbh if you were going to see a ship that had sunk named titanic you might think more than once about getting in a submersible named titan

yeh like luca brasi they sleep with the fishes

this would never have happened if people used bitcoin and that

 

[Petcha]

This is just awful. I understand one of the guys has his teenage son with him.

I cannot think of many worse ways to die than suffocating in a little tube. Anyone gloating needs a word with themselves.

 

[Ax^]

any we really should stop this is becoming a race to the bottom...

The fact that the dad was enough of a complacent idiot to take his son down in an experimental vessel is indeed tragic.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Probably stupid question but how come it doesn't have a locating beacon of some kind?

In that video of the television reporter's trip it explained that the GPS doesn't work under water, and the crew on the ship were having to send the directions to the submersible by text message, like 'turn left 30 degrees' and so on.

 

[Sweet FA]

Some kind of ping, rather than text.

I think they give directions. In the film they get lost at one point.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Yeah, that didn't bode well.

 

[Tanya1982]

I think they give directions. In the film they get lost at one point.

It gets worse. ‘Oh, just go round again, maybe we missed the last turning’. How could anyone get into this knowing they were reliant on text messages. The more that’s revealed, the more I’m amazed that it’s even legal to do this/sell it to anyone as something they can do.

 

[Flavour]

It's actually just totally fucking mental that this company was allowed to do this, at all.

 

[A380]

Would it have some kind of active sonar Beacon? Something that makes a loud noise automatically so that it could be located?

Also, is this a unique vessel or is it a tourist- modified version of something used in oil and gas and/or deep sea cable operations?

(pseudonarcissus perhaps?)

 

[bellaozzydog]

Just fuck that...

Watch: Inside Titanic sub before it went missing

Filmed in 2022, OceanGate's boss Stockton Rush gave a glimpse into the small vessel that travels to the Titanic wreck.

A BIG FAT NOPE FROM ME

It looks like a pizza oven.

It looks like a pizza oven.

Coincidentally enough the occupants might also look a bit like a pizza.
