If they can get cell signals in they should be able to get signals out right? Why would they not have a standard emergency beacon broadcasting on the guard frequency.

spending resources on rescue equipment is self defeating, if you prepare to fail you will fail. better to put those resources toward guaranteeing mission success.

Yeah if they are sending messages it's not via cell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_with_submarines Even extremely low frequency radio only apparently gets too a few hundred meters. They have possibly janked up some other solution but who knows.

Fluffy Bunnies posted:I'm sorry that they're dying like this as it seems like a really terrible way to go but they literally paid to do it and that blows my mind. Surely, if the thing didn't essentially implode from water pressure and instantly kill everyone, their last thought has to be "I paid to do this"? John Jacob Astor probably thought the same thing, in the same spot, 111 years ago. It's like poetry, it rhymes. I doubt anyone on board Groversub is as big a Chad as Benjamin Guggenheim, who, upon realizing that he had no hope of getting into a lifeboat, changed into his fanciest clothes with his secretary and spent the rest of his life smoking cigars and drinking brandy to "go down like gentlemen".

He perished along with more than 1,500 others. His body was never recovered. Again,

Are those 3D-printed stick extenders hot-glued on? No expense spared here! e. Maybe 100 years from now you'll be able to pay a cool quarter mil (or equivalent) to go and see the dust left behind on the sea bed when this thing burst

It has trouble going through tree leaves, kilometer or so of oceans out of the question.

Why can't they just tie a rope to one tower in the US and and one in Iceland or something, mount some kind of hook on a long cable from the rope and pull the thing up?

If the sub imploded theyd probably never find any trace of it right? Cause itd be all imploded and the fish would eat all the goo?

Shaman Tank Spec posted:Also an expert on BBC just said that the tender lost contact with the sub "about 2/3 of the way" on the descent which sounds incredibly ominous, especially because 2/3 of 6km is 4km, which is the depth their subs were failing at previously. Titanic is only ("only") at 3.7km depth, so within the supposed design of the sub. OTOH 2/3rds of that is 2.5 km, still ridiculously deep and if the thing was flawed then imploding at that point isn't crazy. I don't know much about carbon fiber, but isn't it much harder to detect flaws and progressive stress failures in that? As compared to metals which are way more predictable and have plenty of known-good methods to detect fatigue or weaknesses. Anyways it seems like if carbon fiber was a smart material to make submarines out of someone other than these show-string idiots would have done it first. edit: That DICK! posted:If the sub imploded theyd probably never find any trace of it right? Cause itd be all imploded and the fish would eat all the goo? the violent implosion stuff is mostly what happens on the inside. Klyith fucked around with this message at 16:02 on Jun 20, 2023 |
