Titanic Submersible

[james t kirk]

Well..... mistakes happen. No industry is more regulated than the atomic industry, and accidents and incidents still happen. The air transport industry is extremely heavily regulated and planes still crash.

Yes, which is one of the biggest reasons I am totally opposed to nuclear power. There have been three (3) big failures to date that we are all aware of (and I'm sure that therea are scores of incidents we are not aware of), 3 Mile Island, Fukushima and the grand daddy of them all - Chernobyl. It's not a question of if, it's only a question of when we suffer a monster of an incident.

Whenever the righteous go on about how safe nuclear power is, I always ask 1 question. "Name me one machine that has never failed"? They can't. Because there isn't one.

I don't know if that has anything to do with tensile
strength. The carbon fiber shell could have developed
internal cracks on repeated descent to ocean bottoms.
Remember it is more brittle than ductile.

I think that you are both saying the same thing. Compression of carbon fibre composites could lead to micro fissures and compromised performance.

When was the last time you looked at the tax tables ???
When was the last time you read the tax code ???

Ontario top combined marginal tax rate is 53% = gee, that's higher than for $50,000 of income!

So what, we still use all kinds of machines, nuclear power has the best safety record.

As a % billionaires don't pay as much as they should. They have access to tools and techniques even most others in the top of the income brackets don't.

The best singers, dancers, songwriters, philosophers, musicians, builders, athletes, scientists, engineers, mathematicians, tradesmen, chefs, fashion designers, business moguls, hunters, pilots, writers, leaders, inventors, programmers, are male. It's a man world.

Beyoncé broke the record for most Grammy wins ever. Kylie Jenner is the youngest billionaire business mogul. Serena Williams is the ONLY player from BOTH genders to have ever won singles titles at least 6 times. Judy Faulkner who’s worth $7.4 B founded a medical software that is used by top medical centres. Coco Chanel is known as one of the best designers of all time. J.K Rolling (writer of Harry Potter) is the richest author in the world. Oprah Winfrey, well I don’t think I need to explain she’s Oprah! There are tons more the list goes on and on. There’s really no need to be sexist it’s 2023 whatever men can do woman can also and sometimes better.
BTW you saying “the best.....are male” you don’t claim or appoint who’s the best at whatever, that’s your opinion, not the worlds.

Would there be a thread about taxes that would fit that discussion better than the one about submersibles?

I am no material scientist but I have this possibly inaccurate
notion that tensile strength is a measure of resistance to force
of shear. The carbon fiber shell of Titan was subject crushing
force of compression.

Not shear force, but a pulling force.

LOL, you are quite right, but then again, the usual envious types used the fact that there were billionaires on board to divert the discussion.

There could only be billionaires onboard; they are the only ones with enough cash to jam themselves into a death can and travel 12000 feet underwater to crush themselves.

Pffft…well I am!

This will be forgotten about in 3 days, remember the guy that got eaten by a shark, me neither.

That video explained what happened and why it happened.

I'm assuming the thing didn't have a black box.

Dark tourism is not a new thing. Theres people going on tours to fukushima and chernobyl because of the thrill and bragging rights.

 

[steelcitysid]

I just hope that they didn’t feel any pain and death was instantaneous. More money than brains I guess.

They wouldnt have felt anything. But if anyone knew what was going to happen its the ceo.

Nothing reported so far suggests Stockton Rush was
ever suicidal.

Why? Why should the Canadian taxpayers be involved in this foolishness???!
