Titanic Submersible

[Zoot Allures]

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?

i think they would have thought of that

maybe they were attacked by some kind of sea creature?

they froze to death

They would die from the PSI pressure well before hypothermia, genius

You`d think, but they`ve obviously gapped it on something critical.

I`ve been thinking of a giant squid guarding the wreckage. If future dives occur, will they charge extra to see the "new attraction?" Too soon? Just trying to make light of a horrible situation.

So what kind of regulations are required for something like this? Are permits needed to go to the site? Is there a governing body that rules over the area of the vessel?

Hopefully the ship imploded and they died instantly, otherwise they’re sitting on the bottom of the ocean just waiting to die, and that will be a lot worse.

Or the Atlanteans have made them their slaves....

Submarine missing near Titanic used a $30 Logitech gamepad for steering

While rescuers fear for OceanGate crew, Logitech F710 PC gamepad sells out within minutes.

Nope. International waters no govt or navy to the rescue although they will offer assitance but who pays for a carrier or nuclear sub if it is used?

yep.
can’t help but wonder about the cabin pressure. What if any safeguards/redundancy there is etc. am guessing if the pressure did get to them. It’s either slow and peaceful, or one messy implosion.

"Mr. Harding told the magazine the Titanic dive was meant to take place in June 2022 but was delayed because "the submersible was unfortunately damaged on its previous dive". He said no one was injured in the incident."

Maybe they didn't get all the bugs out.

My guess is this will soon be a recovery operation. I don't think they'll find any survivors.

Saw one interview with Stocton Rush today. Can't find it now, but he was joking about the MacGyver quality and accident prone aspect of the vehicle. The video game joystick, for instance. He was saying if all goes wrong at least they will have air for a while.

Somebody mentioned that on the news earlier. Probably got snagged on something.

Yeah I guess. Wild Wild West on the waters out there.

Who the fuck pays 250K to get into a small tube with no safety regulations for the sun or the people running?

I wouldn’t pay $2.50 to go in something like that.

Now I’m all for spend your money how you want, but you have to stop at stupid. It is not stupid to pay for that type of experience but it is certainly stupid to do so in an untested and unregulated vehicle.

 

[dognutz]

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

Don't they go down at specific coordinates straight down?

 

[bazokajoe]

That's what you get for building an electric vehicle.
Salt water leaking into batteries. Or maybe forgot to plug it in.

These people are billionaires who are looking for a new kick that they haven’t experienced yet. It’s the same kinda people who flew into space with Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
