Missing Titanic Submersible

[subtle plague]

Well now you’re all wet. Suffice to say these guys are in the soup.

Stop wetting your knives for the debate who's the squishiest fish in the pond.

I was curious as to what a submersible vessel implosion would look like at depth. Seems to be a pretty quick death.

Reporter asking if the Coast Guard could recover the remains. What remains can you find after a 2000 PSI implosion? Teeth?

Likely nothing.

One good comparison I read is to imagine the piston in a diesel engine. The air in that cylinder is compressed to a few hundred psi until the air reaches combustion temperature and the fuel is injected and ignited.

At the depth of the titanic, the compression pressure of the ocean on the occupants of the sub from every direction is conservatively 10x the pressure in a diesel cylinder. Any gas, including gas trapped inside flesh and bone, would be compressed to a fraction of its original volume, increasing temperature several thousand degrees. We’re talking complete phase change in a few milliseconds.

They should build implosion chambers for death row inmates, seems the quickest most humane way to kill. No more cruel drug cocktail convulsions or spastic gas chamber mishaps. Instant death via implosion, put remains into a TicTac case and move on.

Or just use them to test these backyard submersibles in the future

So, nothing left to bait the crabs?

Now where’s your sense of adventure.

It was financial suicide. Got it.

HA! In the most extreme and literal example I may have ever heard of. As is true of many a billionaire, often times they'll step over a dollar to save a nickel. I've gotten to know a bunch of Scrooge McDucks in my various vocations and I've always found it hilarious how they can be SUCH cheap bastards on some things while being completely absurd in blowing money frivolously on other things. It's like if something's not showy, then they won't spend an extra penny for a better product. Like how some developers will spare NO expense on a flashy lobby, but will completely cheap out on electrical wiring and other damn important infrastructure items.

I've ranted about it here before, so I'll spare the boring details from my days as a contractor, BUT suffice it to say that some of the wealthiest I've met are Darwin Award candidates in waiting with how they roll through life. How's the old saying go? "More money than brains" or something like that.

Wonder if they got to see the wreck. 1600 feet away? I’ve had lights that go that far, don’t know how far light goes under that deep water though. Imagine the ghostly outline of the old liner slowly coming into view and bam, that’s your last memory. Creepy.

Not even remotely close. I’d be shocked if “good” visibility down there is more than 100’

Cameron said in an interview that it's very dark and visibility is extremely poor. You have to be right up close to see anything.

What’s the attraction? Brag at cocktail parties?

I saw enough of the Titanic when Geraldo wasted an entire Sunday night to show me a few pieces of cracked china. Or was that Capone’s vault?

I believe he has strong feelings on the subject.

There's no light down there except that which they bring themselves. The water may be clear enough to use 2000w hps for 30' or 40' visibility, but there's a lot of silt and clathrates. And assuming 0 current in Titanic Canyon is prob flawed.

Like astronomers, gentlemen submariners have to rely on different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sonar, obviously. But before that, you use magnetic anomaly detectors to home in on a big hunk of iron, because you're blown around by different currents at different depths, and even if you're attached to a surface ship you'll have more cable out than your depth. Then it's not just multibeam sonar, but phased arrays of discreet sensors and some srs signal processing along the lines of ultrasound [statistical mechanics, etc], once you're close enough to use it, which is a thing as sound travels at different speeds underwater according to varying density, temp, electrical conductivity, turbidity, etc.

So they're staring at sensors, trying to stay busy enough they don't have to think about much else.

Sonar isn’t part of the EM spectrum.

I always liked "more dollars than sense"

It is as far as I'm concerned.
