Really horrible what’s happening to them. Worst scenario imaginable is that they’re floating on the surface, able to see air but running out of air all the same.

I reckon Elon types have (maybe unintentionally) encourages a cavalier attitude towards engineering - as if it’s all just a matter of confidence and the boring safety assurance side of things is just a bureaucratic headache. If any good is to come of this it’ll be that the brakes are pumped on that type of thinking.

Even from a contingency POV how do they not have something capable of piercing some section of the hull to get fresh air in? Like obviously a GPS beacon would be smarter but they seem to have legitimately no contingency of any kind for any scenario at all.

Just jump in and if it goes **** up then were cooked so... whatevs?

Report i read yesterday was that oxygen would run out at 11am AEST today.

They have less than 3 hours.

Its a 2 hour descent minimum aaaaaand they still havent located the submersible.

In footy terms they are 10 goals down with 2 minutes to play. Miracle wouldnt even do it justice from here.

And we all know how often that has happened in the last 100 years.

But yeah
 
Interesting article about the millionaire who went on this sub a few years ago, something broke as they were putting it in and they fixed it with zip ties.
 
I wonder how much public money this useless search will cost? It’s a recovery mission, i dunno if logitech game controllers are that valuable?

Tax-dodging Billionairres doing incredibly risky shit getting pwned by avoiding safety regulations is a little bit “make your bed go lie in it”

Still fascinsting tho

Its morbid and probably comes across as harsh but honestly, leave em there.

They knew the risks, they accepted them. If there was a chance of saving lives sure, spend the money, but at this point, what does it achieve.

That Bullimore clown? I think his name was something like that. Must have been late 90's.

Oh ye of little faith.

It's the size of a mini van and people have been getting it on in small cars for decades.
