I must not be quite awake this morning. I saw that title and thought "Geez, not another one!"

Another Submersible Has Gone Missing in the Ocean, This Time Near Antarctica

In June 2023, people around the world watched with bated breath as crews searched the North Atlantic waters near the wreckage of the Titanic for a submersible carrying five passengers that went missing. Another submersible has just gone missing off the coast of Antarctica, and while it wasn't ...

Who writes this crap? The last line pretty much sums up how seriously the author takes the story.

Ran represented a critical asset in climate research, having ventured under Thwaites Glacier since 2019 to collect invaluable data on currents, temperatures, and the glacier's historical patterns of retreat. The vanishing of Ran leaves a significant void in our understanding of the complex dynamics of Thwaites Glacier and its potential impact on our planet's future.

Sounds important, maybe it should have carried a billionaire or two as cargo to ensure there'd be a big effort to look for it if it disappeared

wow that simulation makes me wonder if they survived.

Family of Titan submersible passenger clears out his $1.7M home and auctions OceanGate memorabilia ahead of sale

I hadn't seen these photographs before

Photos show how 700 of Titanic's 2,200 passengers were saved by the Carpathia when the ship sank 112 years ago

Over 2,000 people were on board the Titanic when it sank on April 15, 1912. Only around 700 people made it into lifeboats.

Another kamikaze sub set to embark on final mission

Ohio man plans to take a 2-person submersible to Titanic depths to show the industry is safe after the OceanGate tragedy

The implosion of OceanGate's Titan submersible sparked worries about the industry. A trip to the depths of the Titanic aims to change that.

The rich and their adventures.

More money than sense, clearly...

 

[Orang Utan]

well, it looks like they’re gonna be a bit more careful than Stockton Rush was, by using a safe vessel, so let’s not get too excited.

 

[Cid]

To be fair this sub builder has actually made one that reached challenger deep. Taking 2 people down using established technologies is a very different proposition than what tube-boy was trying.

That said I think Triton has had various financial difficulties, so who knows?

Catastrophic Titan sub disaster: A year later the search for answers continues.

The cause and responsibility for the submersible implosion that killed five on the way to see the Titanic wreck is still under review a year later.

[NoXion]

That headline is absurd. How is the cause of the Titan being insta-crunched during its final foray into the depths not blindingly obvious? Likewise with the question of responsibility.

The sub was constructed using materials and standards that nobody with any real knowledge and experience would ever use. There are sound engineering reasons why carbon fibre composites have never been used in pressure vessels before. Stockton Rush was told of this by multiple experts before that fateful voyage. He ignored warning signs that came up during tests that should have had him shitting himself. He intentionally cheaped out on construction and safety standards because he was a lolbertarian fuckstick who arrogantly presumed that strict regulations and generous engineering margins are only put in place by the big bad gubbermint to inconvenience "visionaries" like him.

He was wrong on all counts, and that's why he was imploded into fish food. I get the need for the authorities to investigate in order to establish a factual account of the events that transpired, but the media really needs to treat fools like Rush with the contempt that their hubris deserves.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

I think it's probably lingering more on the responsibility trail.

While it's easy to point at Stockton as the main problem the rest of the world let it happen.

I bet there is a lot of debate on what agencies should have stepped in or should in the future.

Plus probably a bunch of stuff on what can be done to improve the response.


At a guess anyway I'm no expert on these things

Maybe some advertising body, to encourage more billionaires to part with wedge to kill themselves?

Various actual experts tried to stop Rush from putting his death trap in the water. As for the rest of the world, what you think we could or should have done about it I'm certain I've no clue. Never even heard this idiot's name until after he'd been turned into chum.

I'd hope with less collateral damage next time. The kid didn't deserve it.

The boat he sailed on was registered somewhere
the company he ran was registered somewhere
some bank allowed people to pay him.

maybe next time one of these doesn't happen because of a new rule

Yeah, there’s every chance he’d have grown up to be some kind of Buddhist monk.

Yeah we're gonna start telling obscenely rich people 'no' any minute now.

 

[SpookyFrank]

He has contributed valuable nitrates to the benthic ecosystem. Which is more than most of his ilk ever do for anything or anyone.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Probably not but he's not going to get the chance now.

The fact he didn't want to do it but was pushed into it by the adults is part of why I feel that some sort of legislation should be great.
