News Titanic Tours Submersible missing in atlantic ocean

I saw a few pics of that kid...
He should have been sent to military school as a kid.
And then signed up at 16 (since UK) for active duty.
And and and and kept of social media. He should more like his mom. Not a digital foot print to be found.

tbf he should have gone full sparta with him

Not exactly splitting any atoms over there, are they.

So? They can do amazing shit too!

He should have given the kid the ticket to the sub.
"here you go, Blink182 will meet you there. Have a nice trip"

well, maybe the ones that constitute their anatomy

regarding my earlier comments in this thread about I didn't see a CO2 scrubber on-board....and how that was a stupid and cheapskate mistake.......

- this appears to be confirmed as I read this just now:

As the oxygen level falls, the proportion of carbon dioxide being breathed out by the crew will be rising, with potentially fatal consequences.
"As levels of carbon dioxide build up, then it becomes sedative, it becomes like an anaesthetic gas, and you will go to sleep."
Too much of the gas in a person's bloodstream, known as hypercapnia, can kill them if not treated.
Former Royal Navy submarine captain Ryan Ramsey says he looked at videos online of the inside of Titan and could not see a carbon dioxide removal system, known as scrubbers.
"That for me is the greatest problem of all of them," he says.

So once again, Stockton 'Obscenely Safe' Rush with inadequate & cheap design, failed to install a CO2 scrubber (and they're cheap) in the submersible. cheap cheap cheap, poor design, poor build, lack of 3rd party testing, lack of 50-yr-old experts, cutting costs all the way, and it's just a shame he took 4 others with him to their watery graves.

Current score:
Titanic: 1,517 + 5.
Mankind : 0

Well that seems to be a blessing as they will just get tired and fall asleep and not wake.

I think the Carbon-dioxide scrubber thing (yes / no) will come up in the post-mortem of this incident and it'll be analyzed and reported.
I am sure they WILL find the vehicle sooner or later and bring it to the surface with the 5 deceased people inside.

Then there'll be a big investigation of causes / issues / failures / failure-to-install items, failure to test, materials failures, electrical systems failures, failure to have redundancy for critical systems.

The Ocean is unforgiving.
Space is also unforgiving.

Fuck about and find out.

I don't think they're gonna find it. It could be anywhere. Without any power, it's just a piece of sea debris that's likely been steered way, way off course by the simple motion of the ocean. It'd be like looking for a needle in a football stadium of haystacks...in strong winds. It'd be one hell of an accomplishment if they did find, but I'm not too confident. I think they're down there for good.

Or it’ll be like Titanic DECADES before it’s found.

‘The Simpsons’ fans say show predicted Titanic submarine disappearance 17 years ago

 

[ModernMatt]

Not really.
I mean the princes married a commoner.

And some one claimed her son is American. (I have no idea)
So she might be american? There seem to be no info about her at all.

Prince (Harry) married a celebrity, who has/had her own money and was relatively well known. Mind you I don't know what celebrity status gives you as you unlikely went to a prestigious school, and Prince (William) married a family of wealth...i mean Kate went to the same school as William...so you know they have some status.

I wouldn't exactly call either of them commoners.

if it's on the seabed (likely) I would say that the currents are likely ALWAYS in the same direction and I think they'd know what direction that is. At that depth I doubt there's much variation in the prevailing currents. Especially as that site is quite well studied for a long time now.
So.... given that..... once they do a full search with one of their ROV's of both parts of the Titanic and the debris field, i think they are liklely to know WHICH direction to continue next due to knowledge of the prevailing currents.

If the sub has imploded and is now about the size of a fridge of compressed metal & carbon-fiber, it will be harder to find....but I am fairly confident that these search teams will get the job done --- this is what they do and it's not their First Rodeo.
Of course the occupants are now dead (99% a certainty), so this will soon be classified as a Search and Recovery operation. I think they'll find it within a week and somehow haul it to the surface. That's what I am currently thinking.

Does it matter?
I dont think he have said a word about 50 year old white men.
Now the founder of the crappy sub company....

Thats the point, the sub company man said it and look what happened to them. And this aircraft looks like built by well established professionals...or "50 year old white men".
Point is, whatever kind of vehicle you are going in, i would prefer it built by professionals in their field.

Mind you, i'm just going by from what i read on this thread...don't know if its actually true that the Titan was built by "non-50 year old white men"

One of the billionaires on board could've built their own replica of the Trieste (sub that went down almost 36k feet in the 50s) for less than $5 million.

You see, this is the hard part that poor people don’t understand about billionaires.

You don’t become a billionaire by spending that kind of money on things…

 

[PBAC]

apparently the company that made the joypad have taken it off the market

They would've made double that taking other rich people deep down over the next few years though.

 

[Doughie99]

due to it being susceptible to water-damage???

[this is just a little joke folks obviously)

 

[My Spot]

apparently the company that made the joypad have taken it off the market

But why?
I have the wired version (Logitech F310). I also don't have plans of using it to pilot a submersible device thousands of feet below the surface.

Maybe it will resurface somewhere? Like a message in a bottle

 

[Prefect]

4000m of cable is likely to get pretty tangled. Can't really have any form of radio communication otherwise while submersed under all that seawater.

Communication would be easy and if there were issues, you could just reduce the bandwidth.
