Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:Honestly, if I'm an aging billionaire, $250,000 for an instantaneous, pain-free epic death is a decent bargain. I wonder if life insurance pays out on something this frivolous and dumb. Part of my job is getting ships into commercial survey for abs/dnv/Lloyds. Operating a commercial vessel in international waters without being in survey would invalidate any kind of insurance I have ever seen. Classification societies exist because they needed some way for insurers to know if a commercial vessel was seaworthy lol

So if that barrel can survive 400 atmospheres, do you think it could survive a trip over Niagara falls? I'm not a billionaire yet, but....

Potentially the uss Jimmy Carter would have the facilities to perform the rescue but the crew would need to be shot after being rescued to not disclose how they did it

You'd think they'd have some kind of self inflating balloon type 'Ah gently caress gfto' device strapped onto the sub.

Elukka posted:You might have a brief moment of terror and get crushed to death, but you might also have a slow death over days as the oxygen runs out. If they're trapped seated/laying down and literally rubbing elbows in a tube like that for days, with no certainty of rescue, you think they're going out grimly or suckin and fuckin? It's so terrifying what else could you do? Might as well get the little death one last time before the big death (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

News is reporting that they have oxygen to last until 2:30pm eastern time Thursday, June 22nd, 2023, not accounting for additional oxygen consumed during panic.

If there is air for 4 people for 96 hours, there is air for one person for 384 hours. Minus a little for the exertion of making sure you're the one still breathing.

I don't know whether to be horrified by the situation, or morbidly amused that billionaires are spending money finding ridiculous (ly expensive) new ways to die. That submersible looks like a junior high science fair project. Like, yeah, dad helped me build it, but mom was supposed to do the interior and she forgot to go shopping, so I had to shove in a gym mat and my backup controller morning of, I hope the judges don't hold it against me. I am now certain that there are rich people in the world dumber than Elon Musk.
