News Titanic Tours Submersible missing in atlantic ocean

[Brandon Wilson]

I wonder how the guys in the sub feel knowing they're about to die while everyone above is laughing at their deaths.

I sincerely hope for their sake, that it was a catastrophic hull breach and they were all dead instantly.

 

[emefer]

Good idea.

After hearing that they'll be happy they're about to die.

How about the Das Boot score?

How about the Das Boot score?

If I was in that submarine and having to listen to that, I'd Has to beat myself to death with my Boot.

Your suggestion sounds like a poor rip off of it.

A rip-off?

Nah, an upgrade.

 

[billiam]

Well, what the fuck are you doing about it?

Planning to attend a concert and hit on some onlyfans models. It's what Stockton would have wanted.

 

[ICHEERTHEBULL]

So they have 5 hours of oxygen left (probably was less considering there would have been many moments of panicked breathing). Even if by some miracle they located the sub I presume they wouldn’t have enough oxygen for the assent?

You mean Das Boot

To be clear, I stated earlier my belief is they already died via implosion.

I'm making fun of the posters here that are doing some kind of countdown, when there's no signs of any chance they'd be rescued in time. Its like they're praying for a miracle but are volunteering setting themselves up for recreational heartbreak.

I feel sorry for the 19 year old kid, I really do.
But at the same time, I can guarantee there's been a dozen heartbreaking tragedies somewhere in the world every day we've been paying attention to this story.

But.... 700 people died last week in the mediterarean after a boat sank. Why is this story getting to much more attention.

*The Titanic. The public is, 111 years later, still fascinated with the story of the boat, and its wreckage.
*The danger of Deep Sea Diving. And they don't get much deeper than the Titanic.
*A ticking clock... or else...
*An impossible rescue.... or is it?

Spoiler

...aw shit it looks like its impossible.

Where the fuck is James Cameron when ya need him?

About the implosion theory, if the submersive really imploded, wouldn't the someone be able to pick it up/hear it?

From what I understand the sub and the mothership had constant communication until the sub suddenly lost signal while it was descending.

I don’t know what they use to hear underwater stuff but the equipment seems sensetive enough to be able to hear an implosion no?

That dude is not even close to 50, and he probably attends protests to denounce "old white guys."

It depends on where they find the sub. If it's surfaced they have a shot. If it's on the seabed they're doomed. Either way they must find them now or might as well call it off and change it into a recovery mission.

It is really disturbing to know that they could still be alive three days later knowing they are going to die. It is gut-wrenching.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

China laughing at America cause people like you thinking those waters are American

I think i would rather take my chances with OceanGates sub then a made in china sub.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Fate loves Irony.

Maybe ....this is somehow the Titanic's dead (1,517) sending a message from the other side of eternity to 'Leave us in Peace in our seabed grave'.....

Im senseing another movie...Ghost Ship 2. Wood watch.

I've thought about it and it's def top 5 worst ways to die.

About the implosion theory, if the submersive really imploded, wouldn't the someone be able to pick it up/hear it?

Well.... it would have happened nearly 3,000 meters below sea level.

I have no idea how loud a 20-ton submarine implosion would be at that depth, or how far away any microphones would be to detect it.

From what I understand the sub and the mothership had constant communication until the sub suddenly lost signal while it was descending.

Yes, they were constantly communicating... until they weren't communicating at all

I don’t know what they use to hear underwater stuff but the equipment seems sensetive enough to be able to hear an implosion no?

That's what I was questioning earlier in this thread. Supposedly they have audio of the submarine passengers hitting the walls every 30 minutes as an SOS.

That audio sounds damn clear, like the microphone couldn't have been 100 feet away from the sub... yet 18 hours later there's still no indication they're anywhere closer to finding the sub.

Whales singing could be heard thousands of miles away... but tbey're freaking loud to begin with.

So I find it difficult to believe fists banging on the inside of a submarine with walls so thick they hold back the extreme water pressure of 4 KM below the ocean's surface... and the banging could be heard for multiple miles underwater?

 

[listrahtes]

Sounds like it’s almost impossible for the sub not to surface. So it’s either a hull failure or they possibly tangled into some debris. With as much area as has been covered, I just think if they surfaced somewhere they would have been found by now

Why would they be found? It's a tiny 10m white dot in the sea with hundreds of miles to be covered. The genius choose the worst possible colour for finding them.

 

[deucesarewild]

exactly. Water pressure at 3800meters of seawater is 2.5 tonnes (2500kgs) per square inch. Nothing will inflate, it would need to be dragged up with a cable or similar mechanical attachment.

I despise how these half a dozen or so rich douchebags floating around at the bottom of the ocean while being piloted by a game console controller, and who don't give a shit about us are getting more of our attention than children being shot up by egotistical incels.

This is what is wrong with us. 36 fucking pages of focus in comparison to how much attention we give for real tragedy.

Which is an incredible stupid comment by him and means he had not done any proper research. . How anyone trusted him is a mystery. He deliberate ignored experts with decades of experience trying to help or fired them, and his testing method was just going for tourist dives with over the counter trash material. Hubris ,agenda and money hungry is a bad combination.

I read the German customers Report about the dive and wow what a fucked up incompetent guy Rush is. They repaired broken of stuff with freaking zip ties and went again with malfunction after malfunction.

H

Yeah he really was too cavalier about it. It would've been ok if it was shallow water. The smaller shallow water submersible his company has is one they bought, and it looks like the real deal. This one - Tritan - just doesn't look confidence inspiring. If you look at his interview with Teledyne Marine he says he was warned about not using carbon fiber for the center section. He said the critics were wrong because carbon fiber tech had advanced and if done right then it's fine. He said critics also said the same thing about using carbon fiber in aircraft but aircraft now use it.

He does seem like a smart guy though, graduated from Pricenton , built his own airplane, and other subs. He just got too confident in his team's abilities. His company did get help from the U of Washigton and NASA to build Tritan.

 

[Phlog]

Is it even ethical to spend all that money on a rescue effort? That money could go a lot further for other people who need it. Especially with such a small chance of success. Not sure who is paying for it.

All that shit is being funded regardless and has to be somewhere. It all has to be used to keep skills up etc.

The rule of the sea is you help if someone is in danger, regardless of how much money they have.
