News Titanic Tours Submersible missing in atlantic ocean

[Fedorgasm]

So at what point do you start considering killing one person for more air in this situation?

As soon as they close the hatch

 

[Bojka]

How do you even suicide in this situation? It sounds impossible.

You could ask someone to put you in a rear naked choke, but yeah doing it yourself would be complicated.

Stepson of Titanic submarine’s billionaire passenger Hamish Harding attends Blink-182 gig: ‘My family would want me to be here’

Imagine if their sub is stuck vertically and not horizontally like we imagine from seeing the pictures, leaves them with even less space because theyre all cramped on one side

*They have less than 20 hours of air left.

That’s if they have been sleeping and resting to conserve oxygen, I bet they went through a lot of that air in the first day or two screaming at each other for who’s fault it was. Possibly even a fight or two down there, using up a lot of that oxygen.

Oh god.... you got to hear this for yourself guys...



At 8:40 - "the way the CEO runs his company is unique. He's on record saying he could have hired 50-year old white guys that were experts - former military guys - but he didn't think that would be 'inspirational.' So he decided to hire 26 year olds."

The Coast Guard expert continues - "I'd rather have the expert from an age standpoint. I don't care what their skin color is. I don't care what gender they are or any of that stuff. I want those who are most qualified if they're designing something I'm going down 13,000 feet in I want to know I'm going to be safe."

"So there definitely is some questions related to this CEO."

2.5 tons per cubic inch?

2.5tons (2,500kgs) per SQUARE inch is the seawater pressure at 3800meters down, yes.

basically so its like take a section of the hull that is 1inch wide by 1 inch high, and stack 2.5tonnes of metal weights on that tiny 1square inch patch. And hope it doesn't crack or break or rupture.

Interview with a Coast Guard expert.

I'm listening to it now. I'll post cliffs.

The only picture I could find of that guy in uniform was as an e-3 or below on a ship for one tour. He then went public affairs and is now a politician according to his own website.

Maybe there's more but color me skeptical.

Buyer beware on the whole "expert" thing

Or they could already be out of air.

I imagine they've been panicking for a good long while at this point.

It sounds bad but it could be his way of coping, finding something to take his mind of the sad news.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Has anyone checked out reddit?

Bet there's alot of discussion on that site about this situation, and they've been known to have some credible experts.

Dug a little more...

Dudes rating was public affairs...and I'm not even sure how far he made it...

I'm willing to put money that I have ran more SAR than him...

He looks to now be in his mid-50s, so give him the benefit of the doubt that was a very very old photo.

What's the difference between a boat and a ship?

[COLOR=#ffffff]Again, this speaks to his desire to SAVE MONEY -- to do it on the cheap. He simply didn't wanna PAY a real expert with 30years experience in this type of vehicle, he wanted a younger cheaper person.

Whole thing is terrible -- for him to say in that 'Titan tour' video that it's a scientific mission is BULLSHIT. It's simply a fucking joyride for ultra-rich people plain and simple -- so Stockton Rush (CEO) could get $750,000 of revenue for each dive -- and it's a jury-rigged sub that wasn't designed well, wasn't tested well, wasn't evaluated by independent 3rd part testers, it didn't conform to safety standards, the viewing port was rated for nowhere NEAR 13,000ft, the carbon-fiber hull I expect was susceptible to damage from repeated dives, probably no CO2 scrubber, probably no backup electrical power should a cable melt or fuse or have an electrical failure.
No external beacon on the sub as far as I know, giving off SONAR pings that would make finding it quite easy, none of that.

I think this will all come out in the post-mortem of this incident and the company will be wrapped up and new regulations will be put in place and no I do not expect anyone to survive this sad incident.[/COLOR]

'From 2003-2007, Judge was in the U.S. Coast Guard, where he served in Operation Iraqi Freedom aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Adak from 2004-2005, and later in Miami as a public affairs specialist from 2005-2007.'

So yeah, an 'expert' is stretching it.

 

[Thrawn33]

What's the difference between a boat and a ship?

Coast guard cutters are 65ft or longer (referred to as ships) usually commanded by officers but in the USCG some of the smaller ones have Senior Enlisted Officer in charges. Navy only has Commissioned Officer COs

Boats are sharter than 65 feet. In the USCG have a Coxswain in charge that is generally enlisted E3 (rarely) and above, navy boats will sometimes have a boat officer directing the coxswain...the USCG coxswaibs are better trained and don't let Os run our smallboats...

A ship can carry a boat, your boat driver's do the fun stuff....

Just finished the interview, and it wasn't exactly as informative I was hoping it'd be, from an 'expert.'

Very much so...

Reading it as non-rate on a 110 cutter out of boot (helmsman, lookout, and general new guy bs tasks) then PA A school...

Ironically, I bet this clip of one of my favorite streamers will be more informative -
