Missing Titanic Submersible

does being liquified count as getting wet?

Mythbusters gives us an idea what it might look like. Although 2000psi in the Titan vs 135 psi with Meat Man might be a bit more extreme.

The pic of the dude that got it worst on the Byford Dolphin rig back in '83 is still on reddit. I mean they literally had him pieced back together, including parts of his watch. It's so gnar it seems fake. F'n pulverized. Morbid curiosity got the best of me on this one.

Is that another joke about the passengers getting liquified?

No worse than Quaker State, no, wait, make that Pennzoil.

This real life aquatic horror is certainly not the vibe

I saw today that the Celine Dion song from Titanic, The Wes Anderson epic The Life Acquatic, and James Cameron’s doc about his dive to the trench were all tops or near the tops for searches, streams and downloads this week.

No wonder D listers like Cardi B tried to get in on that cheddar.

ewwww

Sometimes, punnery isn’t pretty.

That did not happen to the gentlemen submersibers. The submersibers were exposed to much more pressure, much faster, and from all sides. In particular, they weren't wearing one atmosphere diving helmets they could get squished into. Their heads and bodies got the same 300 atmospheres at the same time, so no pressure difference to squish one into the other.

I've never seen this, anyone else?

The window cracking story at the end of the scroll would make my ear hairs stand up IRL.

Fucking adhesive. They had the money to mill the entire thing from ti, why did they not do that. Heuristics.

Just came here to say that would be sexy as shit. Also expensive as shit, did they really have that much money? Can you even buy a chunk of ti that size?

Good rant, he's wrong about the viewport, but good rant. "what is it with these people and TUBES?!?!?!" I lol'd.

I'm thiking of arctic adventure polar bear tube. We fly a tube in with a sikorsky (sp?) and let billionaires live in the tube for a week. what about rainforest tube? all the experience of the rainforest but from inside a spider and snake proof tube?! What about like a ghetto tube, see the ghetto without the risk of crime from the comfort of a tube. Golden Corral Tube Adventure? 4 star meal from inside a tube at the ol GC? an interest? "Sack Lunch Area Tube" - eat overpriced pizza wile inside a tube while observing the sack lunchers at Vail?

Most of those just sound like a first class luxury train.

The Family Truckster is already that ghetto-tube, but maybe they use a more modern RS6Avant version to keep things as civil as possible? (My God, did someone actually do this to an RS6Avant?!?)

Like the raciest Seinfeld joke of all time

That’s the best thing I’ve seen in a while.

Pretty sure you’d want to serve tubed meats inside these tubes.

You don’t think I’m packing 15 lbs of propane into an oxygen rich environment so that I can heat up ramen now do ya? Beer Brats for everyone!!! Or, Italian sausage grinder. This plan keeps getting better all the time.

Maybe this has been posted already, found it a few comments down from the tube rant dude.

The man himself :"I've broken some rules" and "carbon fiber and titanium, there's a rule you don't do that, well I did"

'Glued together' is a bit of a dog whistle. Contemporary boat, plane, and automobile construction uses 'glues.' Same with the carbon fiber lay up; weave direction can vary even when the lay up doesn't. Do those details matter here? Probably not given the shortcuts this guy was hell-bent on taking.

"You're remembered for the rules you break". Yep, you'll go down in history as an idiot that ignored well tested engineering, thought you could do better and it only cost your life and the lives of several others.

I wonder how the communication director of oceangate is handling questions about these broken rules and mistakes made....let me see who that is....oh. The CD is the CEOs wife, Wendy.

She is probably not in a good head space right now, jokes aside.

True, but failure also comes along the path forward. There's always someone who will say it won't work or you're doing it wrong. Obviously the knownothings and MMQB's will say it's wrong, but you can also find an expert to tell you "no." Hopefully you find expert support too.

These glorified tin cans are the purlieu of the scoundrel and no place for a gentleman submariner.

I think you meant to say purview not purlieu my good sir.

Full disclosure: Haven't watched the video, BUT seems a few here who had some secondhand knowledge of sub stuff along with James Cameron (who absolutely DOES know his shit when it comes to this stuff), knew damn well by Monday what the heck was up. Surely the experts on the scene knew as well, BUT at least had to display they were making a diligent effort and not give up until all was visually confirmed. KINDA seems like the Feds were lying, but maybe it's more of a white lie. I can't blame them in this case. Don't think it was anything nefarious or anything.

They just did the SAR stuff we fund the USCG to do.

They did it well: they organized a multi-agency, multi-nationality response a minimum of 400 NM out to sea, no one else died, they completed their search and found the sub and in the meantime they managed the public speculation about the status of the sub while they didn't have complete information. Textbook USCG.
