Titanic Submersible

[Phil C. McNasty]

Maybe if the joystick stopped working they should hit the factory reset button??

Problem solved

 

[unassuming]

May be they got stuck after venturing into the wreckage.

Can they eventually send a non person device down with a camera? I'm claustrophobic as fuck so I don't think I could ever get in it. Plus I'm about 249,000$ short.

They were in the middle of the dive when communication
was lost. I don't know if the sub had the capability to stop
descending and returned to the surface assuming it was intact.

I imagine that would be like searching for a dime in
the beach in darkness with a flashlight.

There is no way they would risk going inside the wreckage with a sub even if that is possible.

2 billionaires and 2 millionaires pay 250k to that trip. What is worth it?

It's like Bezos going to space in a penis capsule. Would you have really cried if it had exploded?

There is so many other things these fuckers could have done with their money that would bring real value to humanity.

I do not wish anyone to die yet I would appreciate putting things in perspective.

I would love to ride a penis capsule.

The submarine surely must be equipped with beacons of all kinds.

What is inexcusable is, that they did not have another vessel on standby in case of problems.

If the shell or the window fail at that depth, the death is instantaneous. The implosion also destroys all the systems. The only thing that usually survives is the emergency beacon(if they had one) that floats to the surface and activates, but, like everything else in those harsh conditions, that can fail, too. I'm surprised that the service crew didn't monitor the descent closer and only relied on the communications from the sub.

I would have thought the failure of the shell including window would be the least likely failure. They know exactly the depth they are going to, and could not have gone any deeper. But of course, it is a possibility.

Titanic is at 375 ATM pressure.

 

[dognutz]

Apparently it's closed with 18 bolts from the outside so a rescue isn't possible anyway. Plus newfies are looking for them.

Send in Gordon Tracy for recovery operation

Send in Gordon Tracy for recovery operation

Not at a depth of 13,000 ft.

Not at a depth of 13,000 ft.

"Thunderbird 4 is International Rescue's technologically advanced submarine, with a maximum operating depth of 30,000 feet."

Thunderbird 4 (TB2015)

Not to be confused with the 1965, 2086 or 2004 versions. Thunderbird 4 is International Rescue's technologically advanced submarine, with a maximum operating depth of 30,000 feet. Though the tiniest of the Thunderbirds, she makes up for it by being the only one who can operate underwater and is...

Maybe their life rafts will save them??

 

[Zoot Allures]

Only hope is they have surfaced but lost communication but sub
has imploded or leaked or got stuck if stuck they will have to
try something crazy and pray but loss of communication indicates
something sudden such as implosion as they would have ascended
when losing communication

This sub is a one and only so it has not been time tested for
unpredictable failures like airlines have so it was a risky trip and they knew
it and probably signed waivers

They will send down robo sub but only to investigate


Sad

 

[Insidious Von]

There's gone, no implosion, no lack of oxygen, they froze to death.

 

[RZG]

What are the odds in getting tangled in one of those miles long nets that factory fishing ships use, and cut loose if they snag or break. Could happen?

 

[Zoot Allures]

$250k to go see an old sunken ship. Stupid

worse is wasting all that engineering brilliance to build a stupid sub so stupid people with money can go on an stupid adventure but I am sure that technology
will find a non stupid use somewhere. Might have been the
idea all along, get rich stupid people to finance exploration which
is Musks idea with commercial space travel.
