The idiots probably forget to invert the Y-axis in the menu, and made the sub go down instead of up

Rip Testes posted:What was the thinking behind having a 96 hour oxygen supply when there's no beacon to relay the sub's position if it were ever lost. That's a nightmare that you could be stuck on the bottom of the Atlantic and rather than having a quicker end you'd have to ponder your demise for the better part of a week because no one in the surface has any clue where you are or the means to retrieve you if they did. meanwhile you got an overflowing chemical toilet full of 96 hours of 5 peoples poo poo and piss

If it sank, there's no way in a million years it'll ever be found, so we'll all have to speculate whether they died quickly or slowly and horrifically. Schrodinger's sub.

I was thinking about that. People simply do not understand how mindfuckingly big the ocean is. Unless they (or their debris) are bobbing merrily along on the surface like the I Dream of Jeannie space capsule we will never know what happened. Imagine trying to find a BB in Yankee Stadium, in the dark, where the BB can be anywhere on the Y-axis. God speed to the latest entry on the “Good Billionaire” list.

Hubbert posted:there's a billionaire at stake here After some reading it looks like the max depth recorded for a Naval submarine is around 1,500 - 2,000~ feet. The deepest underwater rescue was at 1,575 feet in 1973. Even if they find the sub they are mega hosed.

Yeah some US admiral was talking about how they're basically hosed given the timeframe. You can't just teleport deep sea rescue teams to the location, there are like three in the entire world and two of them are probably blowing up pipelines somewhere.

And I imagine the xbox 360 controllers were probably an upgrade from the 70s-era hardware they had been using, I think people have outright said that it's mostly because they were like 'our recruits are bamboozled by an ancient remote control but actually know what this thing is'.

Assuming the submarine's intact (lol) and found in time (also lol) then floating it should, broadly, be possible with some creative ROV shenanigans. Deep sea cable maintenance is a thing after all. Long odds though. The engineers responsible would end up rightfully legendary. I just don't see how it'd be physically possible to get anyone out of it while it's still underwater.

Just gonna drop this link about a diver telling the story and sharing footage of the Jascon 5 deep sea rescue. It's incredibly badass. The lengths the rescuers went through to get ships cook off the bottom of the ocean restores some faith in humanity. Also the decompression stuff is pretty wild. https://youtu.be/9bh2h2x6u18 Umm yeah and something something economy too

FlapYoJacks posted:And that was at 230 feet. 10,000 less than the Titanic lol Yeah I think saturation divers max out at 1000 feet or so. Pretty wild how they have to stay under pressure for weeks at a time and have all of their meals delivered to their pressure chamber by airlock. I'm probably wearing my stupidity on my sleeves here but most people crossing an ocean on a boat or even going reasonably far from land have an EPIRB (emergency position indication radio beacon) on them as they're pretty much the only way you're ever going to get found if something goes wrong on a crossing. They're not terribly expensive and there are handheld units that can transmit for days. Is there some reason they wouldn't have something similar on a sub or does radio not go through water or something?

Porpoise With A Purpose posted:HahahahahahahahahahahahahHahahahahH An example for anyone who doesn't get this: Imagine a simple 2 way radio. A walkie talkie if you like. Stick the cheapest nastiest walkie talkie electronics inside a 10kg metal shell dating back to Vietnam the size of an 80s VCR that soldiers have to carry around everywhere they go. Done. The metal shell will probably survive long after the delicate bits inside break. "military hardened" Military grade is like off the shelf obsolete consumer but a thousand times the cost and several times heavier. More weight equals more better. Now generalise that to everything else from boots to things that cost you multiples of six or seven digits.

My favorite military hardened item was a mineproof boot. It really was a mineproof boot. Guaranteed to survive a landmine. The medical cadaver leg wearing it? Basically liquified. Behold! Your military hardened boot. Guaranteed solid enough to cause you all manner of foot & shin injuries when worn on any surface harder than a foam mattress.
