News Titanic Tours Submersible missing in atlantic ocean

[mb23100]

lol. With an Xbox 360 controller to pilot the sub

Maybe the sub got the red ring of death

This will make a good movie in a few years

Okay, but he...and they...were warned. I mean, I'm not gonna go down in the face of that(or any scenario really. I respect water pressure), but if he and others are willing to, it's their risk to take. It also shouldn't be ignored that this wasn't the first voyage. His PS3 sub had been generally successful up until now. That can create a false sense of security.

At the end of the day, it is what it is. They gambled with their lives, and came up snake eyes.

I mean the owner guy I guess was warned, but I think they put stuff like "generally in compliance of" certain standards etc...

I can almost certainly guarantee you impending death is a strong cock-softener.
When your brain realizes it's in mortal danger of potential death it literally shuts down blood supply to non-essential systems, like food digestion. Nobody is getting an erection in a tiny sub with a short time to live.

Only on sherdog is this being discussed right now

On a previous page somebody posted an article that they fired the guy that did not OK manned

From the previous page:

In 2018, while David Lockridge was serving as the company’s director of marine operations, he tried sounding the alarm over the submersible’s hull design but was ignored and fired, according to legal documents obtained by The New Republic.

OceanGate reportedly sued Lockridge for breach of contract after he refused to OK manned tests. Lockridge then filed a counterclaim, stating in part that “visible flaws” had been noticed in “carbon end samples for the Titan,” the vessel that is now missing. Its hull is made of five-inch-thick carbon fiber.

The documents stated that Lockridge “again stressed the potential danger to passengers of the Titan as the submersible reached extreme depths. The constant pressure cycling weakens existing flaws resulting in large tears of the carbon. Non-destructive testing was critical to detect such potentially existing flaws in order to ensure a solid and safe product for the safety of the passengers and crew.”

Lockridge alleged that the company’s leadership also refused to pay for a viewing portal that could withstand more than 4,300 feet of pressure; the wreck of the Titanic lies 13,000 feet underwater.

Typical corporate nonsense right there. Of course they refused to listen to the expert they hired and instead rewarded his good work by vindictively firing him

imagine secret Atlanteans rescue them and one of them was pregnant and has the baby in Atlantis and according to their traditions must be raised there like a true Atlantean

RIP to the sub people fr tho

Oh' I'm sure he worked his magic...which is money, to get it "approved enough", but what can you do? I mean shit, Boeing did it all the same, in the face of actual documented catastrophe. Those planes still flew, until the third or fourth crash.

I really feel bad for the kid, though. He doesn't know what's going on. He was just going on an adventure with his dad. No sense of the gravity of life and death, and the actual risk involved in such a venture.

That is literally the exact same thing that happened with the guy that Vince McMahon hired to build the rigging designed to lower Owen Hart from the ceiling of the arena back in '99
But if I remember correctly, everything worked out fine in the end and Owen landed safely so I think these submarine people will probably ending up being alright too

Pathetic

 

[El Chimpo]

They probably imploded

 

[Doughie99]

Pathetic

simply replying to someone else's post dude. that's all.

 

[DizzySpells25]

Fear boners are real. Science nerds taking Ls left and right

It was his post dude. He is saying you are pathetic because you think a sherdogger couldn't get it up. A true sherdogger would be even harder in the face of death.

I went down there and I saw the sub. I looked through the window and they're all still in there. I waved and they waved back.

Does anyone know how many trips this thing has made?

 

[ralphc1]

You can’t inflate anything at that depth due to tremendous pressure differential.

Even if the tank of compressed air were contained inside the hull of the submarine, there would need to be either a manual valve or a solenoid to open to release the air into whatever bladder or air bag that was attached to a lift cable.

The exterior pressure of the water would simply push through the valve as soon at it were opened, filling the internal air tank immediately with water and exploding it.

What are you talking about? The water pressure on the tank would be the same inside and outside so it isn't going to explode. If the tank was vertical with the valve on top, the air would rise out of the tank as the water entered.

I think I read 3

He's probably itching to publicly call someone involved a .

Well to be fair,

This does involve billionaires…
