I'd say the guy who referred to Aquaman ripping off doors and arguing opposing opinions on what information was relayed to the families would be a starting point for that.

Was about as much chance of that happening after Tuesday than anything else happening though. Seems that even my tongue in cheek post turned out to be accurate.

The Navy immediately relayed that information to the on-scene commanders leading the search effort, the official said Thursday, adding that information was used to narrow down the area of the search.

But the sound of the implosion was determined to be “not definitive,” the official said, and the multinational efforts to find the submersible continued as a search and rescue effort.

“Any chance of saving a life is worth continuing the mission,” the official said.

Thats good enough for me.

Cheerio.
 
Per the Graund blog.
Amazon has begun to clear bad-taste reviews of the game controller used to steer the lost Titan sub.

Users began posting black-humour reviews of the controller to Amazon after news about the missing sub broke including images showing a Logitech F710 game controller used to control the vessel.

It is not unusual for game controllers to be used to pilot drones, ROVs, and sometimes vessels but users have posted reviews critical about its role in steering submarines.

Now the fate of the sub is known, the BBC reports that Amazon has begun deleting these reviews as they do not comply with community guidelines.

Here's a video of what 1 atmospheric pressure can do to a steel drum when there's enough of a pressure differential:


Just multiply by 400 and that's about what would have happened 4 km beneath the ocean surface.

The debris was found about 200m from the Titanic (longer than the MCG) - so they didn't even make it.

What a s**t father bringing long your terrified kid.

I don't think they even made the depth? It's all been found down the bottom now but I thought I'd read they didn't think they'd even got particularly close to it at all.

Something similar.. apologies if posted already.



Given the hull was also comrpsied of carbon fibre, you'd think it would just shatter as well.

The bit that i dont think anyone can comprehend (or at least i certainly cant) is what that level of decompression does to a body inside the vessel.

Its violent enough on steel imagine what it does to a bag of squishy meat and organs.

It was supposed to take 2 hours to descend and the last signal from the vessel was 1:45 after commencing the descent. They could have been close but we'll never know for sure.

Wowwwwww
I was trying to explain the implosion to my son this morning and the psi bits and bobs were difficult for me to communicate. Might show him some of these videos so he can visualise it.

The Mythbusters did an episode on a tank car imploding.
