Blow posted:A 1000m depth. If a submersible is cracked, the water fills the airspace in about 100ms, and creates a compression ratio of 100:1 (a diesel engine is about 13:1) which ignites anything inside at 20,000°C. What's gonna get you first, the crushing injuries or being vaporised by the heat from compression?

When I first read about this I thought "oh drat, one of those submersibles went down? Those are so technically advanced! Something very unfortunate must have happened." I was thinking of the ALVIN or ALVIN 2, which if you are of a certain age you may have seen the IMAX documentary featuring it and its trip to the Titanic. And then I saw it was that jury-rigged fiberglass tube. You couldn't get me on that to explore the bottom of Lake Coeur d'alene, much less 4 kilometers down.

Oh yeah, I used to think ALVIN was the coolest thing ever when I was a kid because I was a huge nerd. I actually met a couple of people who had worked with it about 10 years back through the sons of my mom's boyfriend at the time. Sadly, I don't really remember anything about the interaction.

I doubt they imploded though. Some French guy said the implosion can be picked up on sonar and happens in 20 milliseconds at that depth. With that stupid frame thing around it and all the bits to catch on. I think they might be entangled on the Titanic or the wreckage in the trench around it due to the strong currents. Therefore the seven (7) separate systems to get positively buoyant do gently caress all. Maybe an electrical/hardware/software failure or fire?

Is there a way to just list out all the possible points of failure here? • The only way to navigate is getting STARLINK text messages from above. • No emergency beacon. • Controlled by a logitech gamepad. • Requires external team to get it into position to even be openable. People earlier have mention use of Xbox controllers by military, but those are to control cameras and periscopes, not entire vehicles.

They should have had an identical sub on standby ready to follow the first in case of any issues. That way they can alert the people up top if things go wrong. There should be someone on the surface in constant communication writing everything down with access to a bell they could chime so everyone can recognise there's something amiss right away. Simply: A-like, sub scribe, and ring the bell for notifications

Three Olives posted:I just zoomed in, that is circa 2000 desktop pc speaker system with subwoofer up front, isn’t it? Yup.  Behold, the Altec Lansing ACS33 PowerCube 2.1 speaker system. $35 used on eBay. That’s somehow more infuriating than the controller… and yes, it is loving weird to drive it with that controller because in every single video or photo I’ve seen, someone is waving it around (which makes the CBS anchor facepalm immediately). It’s loving wireless/USB, and not once will you see it actually wired. This poo poo is insane.

I mean, forget that this stuff isn’t milspec or rated at all, every piece of technology within the sub looks like it came out of my basement bedroom in 1999. If by some miracle they did surface and the air S&R resources manage to save these people, the CEO needs to be sent directly to Supermax without trial jesus loving christ.

Is there much a second sub could do. Other than maybe eyeballing it, there doesn't seem much it's actually would be capable of, and with how much they seem to get lost even that seems like a purely by chance thing. Honestly it just sounds like a way of losing two subs instead of one.

Wait a goddamn second. I thought the toilet was on the opposite side of the only window, but apparently it’s directly below the only viewport on the sub. There also seems to be a wireless curvy keyboard, again, from my bedroom in 1999. I can’t stand this. Edit: He throws the loving controller on the ground to show that it’s durable. Forget that could have possibly damaged the navigation controls, but in any sane engineering scenario him doing that would have taken the sub out for maintenance for 3 months or something. I’m mad that I’m so mad. hellotoothpaste fucked around with this message at 10:36 on Jun 20, 2023 |
