News & Events Missing Titanic tourist submarine

[MP_]

History buffs know full well that the bloke in the Britney Spears film clip went down and got it for her.

I need to do some research

 

[Mofra]

explain like I'm 5 please

At 10m depth, there is the equivalent of 2 atmospheres of pressure squashing you.
At 20m depth, 3 atmospheres
At 30m depth, 4 atmospheres
etc etc

(It gets a bit more complex the deeper you go)

Surivor of sunken sub has 'horrible feeling' about missing Titanic sub

A desperate search is currently underway to locate the 22-foot-long deep-sea vessel that went missing with five people on board as it dove towards the wreck site of the Titanic.

hooly dooly I've never heard of this before but these guys were rescued with just 12 min of oxygen left

Not to labour the point but these guys are somewhere between 8-10 times deeper than those guys were.

 

[Mofra]

What has always shocked me is that during these ocean rescue ‘projects’, we never hear of oceanic wildlife interfering with rescue attempts.

Surely all the noise, splashing, etc that is made during the searches would attract sharks, whales, etc and it would interfere with the rescue attempts, but you never hear of it.

Tends to be the opposite - there's some amazing tracking data on Great White Sharks diving and swimming hundreds of kilometres away when Orcas attacked and killed just one Great White Shark a few kms away

Carbon fibre is very brittle too I think. So you wouldn't want to bump the craft against a shipwreck with sharp pointy bits I'd imagine.

Yep, cyclists know all too well that a small knock on the frame in the wrong way can seriously damage it

I remember a shot of Alberto Contadors bike after hitting a pothole on a decent on the tour a few years ago.

The thing was sheared in half.

Wow. What an incredible story!

Maybe I'm just an idiot but if I had an exorbitant level of **** you money I'd try and do some stupid shit like going to see the Titanic. Probably wouldn't do it until it's completed a thousand trips safely though.

Yeah these rich people either want to go deep space or deep underwater

 

[cats_09]

My dog even better

My cat could be anywhere in the neighbourhood (most likely just the backyard or visiting a neighbour), but if you took a prawn or 2 out of the fridge, she’d be at your feet & trying to jump on the bench before you finish removing the first prawn head

 

[Royces Hart]

Allegedly banging sounds have been heard

I guess if it’s the last day of your life, having sex would be the reasonable thing to do

Not with 4 other blokes in a tight space

I mean that's a top night for some

I’m not even sure there’s enough room in that sub for any action

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.

I dont understand the deep ocean or engineering all that well at all.

Even I know that going down to that level requires a+ safety, cause if something goes wrong, you are stuck in a sub-creek without a paddle. no hope of rescue if you don't instantly die from the pressure. Even the Space Station would have a greater chance of rescue.

I mean, seriously..I know, the governments have to try and find them, "just in case" but the part of me that is a depressed realist thinks it is a waste of time and effort, as A, you won't be able to reach them if they sunk B: if they surface, good luck finding a white bus in 1000K sq of ocean if they didn't have any sort of fail aside, which leads to C, they should have not cut any corners for safety.

Interesting the whole Western world is interested in this though.
Is it the Titanic,
is it the super CEO and his too-rich friends making dumb decisions we would never make,
or is it the hope of a miracle and the mystery of it all?

Hope for a miracle I guess. People dying sucks, even if it is inevitable.

I was going to lighten the mood up with a James Newman Song from Eurovision 2020, but I keep the dark humour away for the time being.

Makes me wonder how James Cameron managed to do his expeditions.

Well if you don't use home made uncertified subs and have a cavalier attitude towards safety you can actually do stuff successfully.

I was going to say he used a Sony controller instead of Logitech.

Still think it's insane, going that deep down.

 

[Toump Ass]

Titanic killing off rich ppl a hundred years later.
Saw that gag on reddit and thought it was v funny
“a communist idol” another said.

I laughed.

Reddits mostly shit but every now and then.

We joke about it but off the shelf game controllers are bog standard for this stuff now, why design your own.

It's the other stuff that is the issue.

Carbon fiber without pressure certification

Viewing port not rated for the depth

No lights, no transmitter, no ****s given

 

[ep2018]

or is it the hope of a miracle and the mystery of it all?

Honestly I hope they survive and I'm very curious to see what happens next if the sub is intact and there are people still alive in there. Like what would they do to try and get it back to the surface and onto a ship so the opening can be unscrewed?

Also I have a belief that the US and possibly one or two other countries know what exactly happened to MH370 and where the wreckage is but are playing dumb as to not reveal their secretive satellite surveillance capabilities, on a similar vein, considering how paranoid the US would be on potentially Chinese and/or Russian submarines entering their waters or close by, I wonder if they have technology that either know where the sub is or whether its even intact or not, but are playing dumb again in this case.
