Missing Titanic Submersible

[muted reborn]

So I'm thinking hull casualty and at that depth it's all over instantly.

Where’s XXX and his ‘they would just need some aqua seal, eh?’ comment

for some reason I will now associate this with the David Byrne voice from “Once In A Lifetime”

Don’t think it wasn’t in my head as I typed it.

Where's the totally baked Elno Musk's stick figure drawing of some rescue pod he just made up to send down there??

I’d love to hear some alternative theories on this topic.

It was wind that sunk the sub.

Or a squirrel got on board and chewed through the hull.

No kids in the sub to fit in his pedo 'to go' travel underwater transport? I mean, sounds like Elon's the guy who knows how to sneak kids around in a tube but this billionaire was quite old so probably uninterested.

Missing Titanic Sub Once Faced Massive Lawsuit Over Depths It Could Safely Travel To

“At the meeting Lochridge discovered why he had been denied access to the viewport information from the Engineering department—the viewport at the forward of the submersible was only built to a certified pressure of 1,300 meters, although OceanGate intended to take passengers down to depths of 4,000 meters. Lochridge learned that the viewport manufacturer would only certify to a depth of 1,300 meters due to experimental design of the viewport supplied by OceanGate, which was out of the Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy (“PVHO”) standards. OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters.”

Giant squid got 'em.

Tragic for all. Would be great if they found them floating, but unlikely.

It was probably the shitter window that killed them. Maybe they had a good reason to crack it a bit.

They were warned over safety concerns, but the regulations developed through years of experience were too stifling for true genius.

Classic heuristic trap. Familiarity, Consistency, Acceptance, The Expert Halo, Social Facilitation, and Scarcity.

So that makes you gay under water?


Edit: the thread moved on( damn you, communist euro night!), but I loved that this post came right after the seamen Jokes.

calculator says a 1/2" hole at 13,000 feet will flow 100 gallons a minute in a jet that can cut a body in half.

Chevy Chase would plug that hole with a piece of gum.

New sounds picked up by the Navy indicate someone who ate at Taquitos Jalisco had to use the shitter.

"...like nails on a steel blackboard," said a Navy acoustics expert aboard a P3 Orion.

Buddy was on a spy sub that collided with a Russian sub after a long and complicated underwater maneuver game. They listened to to other sub implode as it went down. It was clearly audible to everyone and for several minutes as the separate compartments went each in turn.

They were grateful to make it back to Pearl.

Blind-mans bluff.

The Krakken?

Shhhhhhhhh.

[BmillsSkier]

The Krakken?

Jaguar shark. Probably.

What do you get when you cross the Atlantic with the Titanic?

Between space junkets and deep sea adventures I think we can gradually shrink the pool of billionaires.

"Brown said he and Harding agreed to go on the Titanic voyage after having a “few beers” while partying on Sir Richard Branson’s private Necker Island in 2016."

When a submarine implodes, a variety of fairly ugly things will happen to the crew. If we assume that a pressure hull implodes at 2000 feet (~60 atmospheres), the pressure will increase from 14.7 to about 875 PSI almost instantly. In the parts of the submarine that have volumes of trapped air, it would be like being inside a diesel engine cylinder when begins its compression stroke.

Anything flammable would burst into flames until a huge wall of water slams into the area and snuffs it out again. The impact of the water would cause significant injury to anyone unlucky enough to still be alive and there would be no time to suffer the effects of oxygen poisoning or anything else.

As others have stated, most human tissues are fluid-filled and are for the most part, incompressible. Human lungs and sinuses would be crushed instantly and the immense shock would render them unconscious immediately. Of greater concern would be the surge of incoming seawater, bulkheads, decks, heavy equipment, motors and other random bits of equipment being slammed into the crew at high velocity.

Essentially, the crew would be killed several times over in less than a blink of an eye.

Uh, that's not how it works, they're not cats with 9 lives.

Great book. My FIL had an uncle who was a submariner during the 60's and early 70's. Interesting times to be on sub back then as they were continually developing technology and the importance of sound suppression.
