Indonesia's guessing it was catastrophic hull failure, which makes sense, the boat was 44 years old, and I know the US considers a hull pretty much done at 40, and that's with a ton of radiography and testing done to recertify it every few years.

hopefully it's not structural.

I could be wrong, but I don't see how that could be structural. It seems vastly more likely to just be there to route electrical/networking cable to outlets on the floor.

Edit: Yeah, looking at the rows of workstations I think the most likely thing is the pillars are for routing cables, nothing more.

oh yeah, they're sadly very much dead.

my speculation isn't on the hull though, it was probably fine until whatever other catastrophic failure caused it to lose buoyancy control and sink below crush depth. obv a hull failure like a bad leak could cause that, but i'd guess seals or such before metal. pure speculation on my part though, i could be very wrong.

Yes, deeply and insanely dangerous. Especially when you breath one heavier-than-air gas and without fully emptying it from your lungs you breath in an even heavier gas.

Yeah friendly reminder of two facts about asphyxiating gases:

1) The sensation of "I'm suffocating" is caused by excess carbon dioxide in your blood, not a lack of oxygen. CO2 will continue to clear from your lungs as long as you are breathing normally, and even in a zero-oxygen environment you won't feel like you're out of breath. You'll just get hypoxic (see below) and then suddenly black out.

2) One of the major symptoms of hypoxia is euphoria. It comes on quite dramatically and it's difficult to recognize because it coincides with a general reduction in cognitive function. Pilots, for instance, are taught to be suspicious of any time that they feel absolutely great, wonderful, like everything is going perfectly and things are awesome -- because they might be on the edge of losing consciousness from oxygen deprivation.

Cody is breathing heavy asphyxiating gases that sink to the bottom of your lungs and stay there, but he's continuing to move his lungs and cycle out CO2 so he doesn't feel like anything is wrong, and halfway through the video he starts giggling and smiling and near the end he can't remember what he said 30 seconds ago. It's easy to imagine a situation where he feels like "danm, hahaha, this is so fun, let's just do a couple more, wheeeeeeee" and ends up dead.

I doubt it, it would be really strange to obstruct a hallway to run some cables. Floor outlets like that are typically brought up into the ceiling through the walls, and if for some reason they couldn't do that they would have put the chases somewhere out of the way against one, not out in the middle of the floor.

Its not impossible it just sounds strange to me.

At the top of that series of pillars they kind of look like they're going into concrete, like there's a wall on top of them where they replaced the wall on the floor we're seeing with some pillars.

I blame open plan offices, terrible things. Still, on the bright side, there might be a new round of vertical integration coming in soon.

There's a lot of options, seawater closures on submarines (I'm not an expert on 1970's German submarines, so I'm talking about US) are designed such that an O-ring or other software failure will result in a relatively small leak rate.

There's other options like the stern planes jamming in dive, although anything that wasn't immediately catastrophic would have had to be accompanied by both a loss of propulsion, and a failure of the EMBT system (like Thresher) and Diesel-Electric boats have far fewer openings to sea than nuclear powered ones.

So much depends on the training level of the crew, and maintenance of the ship too, for instance, if they lost depth control (say took on too much variable ballast) and attempted to blow to the surface, they may have attempted a "partial blow" (blow here meaning emptying the main ballast tanks of water with pressurized air to achieve immediate positive buoyancy) if you attempt a partial blow, and don't actuate the aft bank first, you end up blowing far more weight forward than aft, because the long run of control piping from the fwd part of the ship to aft acts as a big spring. That can result in an angle on the ship great enough to spill air out of the open bottoms of the ballast tanks, refilling them with water and dooming the ship.

It'll be interesting to see if they can/will recover the boat from that depth, and if it will shed any light on the incident.

No way they're cable management, they look, specifically, like seismic retrofitting to me, the way they're out in the open.

That's definitely a concrete beam they're going into aft the top.

Yeah, that fits perfectly. I bet that's what they did.

I'm still torn as to whether those pillars are structural or not, and reverse image searching just turns up the same image on a couple Reddit channels, where the same debate occurs. I rabbit-holed a little bit and am less sure about the cable-chase idea but not to the point where I have abandoned it. If the pillars are seismic retrofit then they should be filled with concrete, and the pictures I found of failures there look a little different, and the fact the other pillar appears both close by and unaffected argues against it.

Unfortunately it's probably one of those things where there will never be follow-up or a clear answer about what exactly is going in that picture.

Employees are reminded not to lean against or run into the plastic "pillars" in the main hallway.

E: Well that doesn't even make sense, I looked closer and the pillars are sitting on top of the carpet. They aren't (shouldn't be) load bearing but also probably(?) wouldn't bend before sliding across the carpet if someone stumbled into one.

Nah, those carpet guys cut the carpet squares around it to fit. Trust me on this one.

It's not "carpet" that comes in big rolls and gets cut to fit wide areas, its a bunch of small tiles that get glued to the floor. You can see the seams.

The original Reddit post appears to have been from a shitposter (not that there's anything wrong with that), so whether the picture is even real is an open question.
