News Titanic Tours Submersible missing in atlantic ocean

That’s how many hours away?

2 hours, 20 minutes from now

lol, everyone I've seen in videos who was part of the engineering team looked pretty old & white to me, it's funny how some don't miss the opportunity to blow things out of proportion with some random quote. You guys are really obsessed with your shit.

A US Coast Guard briefing at 3 p.m. ET will focus on the findings from a remotely operated vehicle "on the sea floor near the Titanic," according to news release from the Coast Guard.

Moments ago, the Coast Guard announced a debris field was discovered in the Titanic submersible search area, and authorities are “evaluating the information."

Here's who will be a part of the briefing later today:

• Rear Adm. John Mauger, the First Coast Guard District commander
• Capt. Jamie Frederick, the First Coast Guard District response coordinator

The briefing will be held at the Coast Guard Base in Boston.

That's more or less a wrap folks.

I am responding to posters pushing this culture warrior stuff. I didn't innitiate it.

Take this shit somewhere else.

Yeah the traditional explanation is that a ship can carry a boat but not vice versa.

I posted this YT video awhile back. A ship leans towards the starboard side when taking a portside turn - i.e. when turning left, it will lean right. A boat leans to the portside when making a portside turn - i.e. when turning right, it will lean right.

There is no correct answer. People are calling 15,000 ton vessels destroyers. There are no rules now.

I hope all the “inspirational” hires comforted everyone onboard as they perished.

That’s how many hours away?

About two hours

No but the owner deliberate used part of that ideology to lead himself and others into the abyss. Ignoring critical thinking , classifying and talking down to people by their colour of skin., Inflated ego . I would say it's not woke but a sign of a trend to think in "personal realities and facts" taking themselves out of a pool of scientific reasoning to elevate themselves. It's part of the woke movement but I wouldn't call Rush woke. Just a victim to his own hubris.

He had plenty of old white guys on his team. Woke had absolutely zero to do with this.

If it was able to crack open it means it was too weak to withstand submerging

By "crack open" I meant open an air tight seal that is expected to open. As an example...

However, given that the thing is believed to have imploded now, I would venture to say that thing was definitely not strong enough to submerge...

Wait isn't it interesting how they found this debris field JUST as the 96 hours are up?

No, we have his direct quote. We don’t need your interpretation to know what he meant, he said it and it was transcribed. You’re just attempting to downplay the significance your painfully retarded ideology had on this tragedy.

Is woke in the room with us?!

this sorta shit is so stupid. Logitech has little to nothing to do with this. The company doesn’t design submarine controls, the idiot that ran the racket retrofitted a controller to do what he needed.

 

[Jackonfire]

Ah, the mentally stable people have turned this into a woke issue.

The virtue signal beacon was lit in 6p bold font and now all the brain damaged culture warriors have descended on the thread. War is hell.

 

[Busgosu]

Thanks to the anti-woke crowd now I know why Hitler failed!

non-woke Reich would have lasted 10000 years!

Huh?

There is "thrill seeking" and there is just being dumb and ill-informed. Why would you go in a can (with1 button for up and down and no actual seats), down to the depths of the ocean? Coast Guard doesn't even have equipment capable of getting down there and you are going to trust some random person?

I like this quote: "While the Coast Guard has no submarine capable of reaching those depths, officials are working around the clock to make sure such a vessel is ready if and when the Titan sub is located."

In other words "We are working around the clock to make sure a vessel that doesn't exists is ready in case we need it.....but you know.....the vessel doesn't actually exist....soooooooo."

It sounds ridicolous but this whole rescue operation is based on the idea the Titan is at or near the surface. Because the capsule is bolted shut the people would still die on the surface thus if they found it they would bash it open. They were never going to attempt to try an underwater rescue operation if the thing was on the bottom of the ocean. The media flat out misled people on that one to sustain the ratings high.

It appears the CEO guy was that dangerous mixture of adrenaline junkie and cost cutting capitalist. There was apparently a small army of whistleblowers warning that the sub wasn't rated for that depth.

Stockton Rush is dead, and he is the guy most directly responsible.

yesterday I did say in a post :
"I just don't think carbon-fiber is a good material for this application. It's very strong in CERTAIN directions but it can degrade and have weak spots and it CAN shatter too. And it's strength depends on how well it's laid and how well it's baked in an Auto-clave. Making it is not like metal at all -- it requires multiple layers criss-crossed in specific angles to each other etc.
Apparently the cylindrical part of the hull was made from it, apart from the titanium end-cap. The join I think would be an issue and you really don't need lightweight in this application, you need 100% reliable strength and resistance to fatigue, cracking, corrosion, tears in your material etc."

and it seems James Cameron from his post today (assuming it IS him and i'm sure it is) effectively agrees that carbon-fiber is not a material to use for an application like this. Whole thing should have been steel alloy or titanium alloy. Or it may have been the viewing port that failed as it was allegedly not rated to anywhere near this depth of 3800meters.
Anyway, R.I.P. to the dead but it could have been avoided by better design and testing.

If you don't think carbon fiber is a good material for pressure vessels, you might be concerned that the hydrogen powered vehicles on the road use carbon fiber tanks to contain hydrogen at pressures between 5,000 and 10,000 psi.

They are also used for Compressed Natural Gas CNG at 3,600 psi.

You’re aggressively trying to excuse the role that left wing diversity hiring policies and ideas may have had in this tragedy by obfuscating a quote that was transcribed directly. He may have said it and not meant it, but you wouldn’t know. We’ll have to wait and see, I’m sure more information will come out about it.

Dude. You need help. Relax, man.

Look at this expedition to the Mariana Trench (that I think this billionaire was also a part of). Notice the staff (and communication with them) at the surface... lol.

I'm curious what the support crew looked like for the Titan, although I think that comment by the CEO is being blown a bit out of proportion in the context of being woke, etc. I think more than anything he was demonstrating a disdain for the conservative and conventional way of doing things. He probably butt heads with 50 year old ex-military more than a few times with regard to practices and design.

Which billionaire?
