A billionaire is (or.. was?) On board... Means more resources will be thrown at the search, I'd assume.

Nenonen posted:This sounds absolutely nuts - apparently there was a "European sex championships" event in Sweden organized by "Swedish Sex Federation". Sex workers across the continent were invited to participate. Despite the claims that it would make sex into a sport, it really was more of a Big Brother type reality show where viewers voted for their favourite contestants. In the end none of it worked and the organizer didn't even pay the participnts. Literally fake news: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_sex_competition_hoax Although of course it would have been cool if it was real, Ruotsi #1!

$250k to ride that carbon fibre tube to the bottom of the ocean! No loving thanks. There are cheaper ways to commit suicide. Next trip gonna cost even more cos you get to see two wrecks

There's a rather interesting difference between these two datasheets: https://oceangate.com/pdf/oceangate-titan-1.pdf https://www.oceangate.com/pdf/oceangate-titan-specs-lr.pdf https://www.geekwire.com/2020/oceangate-raises-18m-build-bigger-submersible-fleet-get-set-titanic-trips/ posted:OceanGate will take advantage of lessons learned during the construction of its carbon-hulled Titan submersible, which was originally built for Titanic journeys. Rush said tests that were conducted at the Deep Ocean Test Facility in Annapolis, Md., revealed that the Titan’s hull “showed signs of cyclic fatigue.” As a result, the hull’s depth rating was reduced to 3,000 meters.

CS-O had basically scrubbed that guy from any involvement years before the 2014 date that wikipedia cites. They had been trying to get his name away from the project since like... late 2010 iirc, but it took almost 3 years for the legal battle to get his name off of the ownership papers. He was toxic from the get-go, but it was hard to get any outside sponsorship other than him at first, and by the time he killed Kim Wall he'd been ousted legally and socially from the project for almost 6 years.

Phanatic posted:It's not uncommon to repurpose old cemeteries. Some "fun" facts about the filming of that movie, particularly the pool scene! quote:In real life, JoBeth Williams, the actor who played Diane Freeling, didn’t want to film the scene, according to Screen Rant. Things were already weird on set. One of the other actors who played the middle Freeling boy, Robbie, was strangled by a clown. The prop was designed to make it look like he was being strangled by an evil clown toy, but it malfunctioned and began to strangle him for real. Steven Spielberg had to pull the clown off of him.

The Byford Dolphin would actually be the inverse of this, since it was above the waves when it went pop.

It'd more like Coffey's scene in the Abyss. Compressed into a pea. Possibly so quick that they may have very briefly ignited. Something something ideal gas law.

They got a leak and drowned before crush depth. The got a leak and lost pressure and got crushed before they could think it. They lost power and could not go up and ran out of air. The lost power, killed the others first, and ran out of air. Or one person is rescued and the others all “died” from being in a small enclosed system with a billionaire. A common story of our times. Probably will be made into a Black Mirror episode. Comstar fucked around with this message at 06:08 on Jun 20, 2023 |
