OT: Titanic submersible

[kired]

I think the only hope really is that they are found already bobbing around in the ocean. If it’s on the bottom there’s not much chance of recovering them in time

The Navy has some equipment coming in that theoretically has a chance. But it’s a huge long shot. Nothing even close to this has ever been attempted, much less planned & executed in a matter of hours. It’ll be a miracle if they’re rescued.

Think we're at the "Miracle" stage now. That's about what it will take to find and save them.

I'd be working every button sequence I could figure out on those $30 controllers.

 

[The Cooterpoot]

Have they checked the batteries in the controller?

They got 30 lives!

The sub has been located. It imploded during its descent. Honestly that was the absolute best case scenario after it was clear it hadn’t resurfaced anywhere.

 

[Moondawgg]

I thought for sure they had found one of the known underwater alien bases in the North Atlantic and were just hanging out down there. Sad news.

.2 nanoseconds.......Out of the body and into the presence of the Lord. I can only hope when my time is up, I can go that fast.

That's even Derek Dunn proof.

I gotta ask, are you referring to strength or the amount of pressure he puts on females to get in their pants??

 

[Walkthedawg]

Man, it doesn't look good for those folks; of course I'm hoping they can defy the odds and make it. I can't think of much else more terrifying than the deep sea.

looks like the “come full circle” bits are starting to circulate

The great great grandparents of the wife of the sub captain were first class passengers that died on the Titanic.

Uh, yes.

I, morbidly, want to know what a body looks like after that.

Ok, so if it imploded on the descent, I would assume it never reached the Titanic before implosion. If that's the case, what was the banging noises that the Coast Guard said they picked up? If it imploded on descent, that would have been within minutes/hours correct? The banging was a detected a day or two later.

There’s nothing left. Completely disintegrated.

It seems most likely it never reached the Titanic. It sure sounds like it failed on the way down at the point communication was lost. And the odds the vessel failed exactly at the bottom pressure amount seem very low. And the “banging” was likely just random ocean noise. I saw one guy speculate that it was likely just Titanic debris falling loose and hitting other parts of the Titanic due to rust and decay. It certainly wasn’t the crew banging on the vessel. They all died unexpectedly and instantaneously.

 

[Moondawgg]

They’re already planning a new expedition so you can view the wreckage of the Titan submersible.

Double the risk, double the price. $500M/per person. Billionaires are encouraged to bring their children.

Dump a handful of strawberries in a blender and hit it for 2 seconds. Then open the lid and look in.

Seems like Myth Busters had an episode about this

the implosion caused the air in the sub to heat up to a temperature as hot as the surface of the sun.

insane physics happened.
