mobby_6kl posted:I saw this mentioned either ITT or in one of the other threads talking about it. The hatch is closed via bolts and nuts secured from the outside. There is no lever or hinge to open it with. It was likely done this way because they couldn’t effectively seal it otherwise. The reason for all of this is they are idiots.

Also, the hatch probably wasn’t sealed right and they started leaking. If they leaked immediately, they would have probably been able to notify the tender. If they started leaking at depth, they were probably killed by ballistic speed water rushing into the submersible.

It looks like they used a Logitech F710 bluetooth controller in that submarine which is what I use to game on my PC. It has a switch for toggling DInput/XInput mode on it that has always been really spotty and I had to tape it. Also the USB dongle for it is only recognized if you put it halfway into a USB slot or wedged at an angle. It's like trying to get an NES cartridge to work by making it slam against the front of the bay when you press down the carriage. Just complete poo poo from top to bottom that whole enterprise was it seems. fake edit: delta P is stored in the ballasts. real edit: Ok that joke doesn't really play Unperson_47 fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Jun 20, 2023 |

How come they can't find the sub? It's near the Titanic, and that's like really big. Just ask around there. Duh.

This is what tractor weights are for. Also that can’t be doing great things for his engine’s lubrication.

skyelevator posted:How come they can't find the sub? It's near the Titanic, and that's like really big. Just ask around there. Duh. The thing is the size of a mini van and is mostly maid of carbon fiber material meaning that it doesn't have a good magnetic signature. Finding something that doesn't give off a magnetic signature under 12k feet of water is pretty loving difficult. The coast guard and others have dropped sonobuoys in order to hopefully hear survivors banging in the sides or something, but they're not likely to hear anything as they're probably already dead and crushed. The only way someone is going to find them is they just get lucky and stumble across the wreckage. The submersible was not equipped with any form of tracking or beacon to aid in discovery. The ballast system could have worked perfectly and they washed ashore somewhere in Greenland but won't be found til long after they've asphyxiated.

It went missing for a few hours last year as well, this is not exactly an unprecedented technical problem.

Tunicate posted:Yeah I'm just saying they had a warning that 'we can't find the sub' is an issue. The whole thing was a gigantic red flashing WARNING sign from the moment of conception. They were well beyond the point that any one portent would give them pause. Like, if you haven't already hit the eject button after hearing, "we're steering with an off-brand Xbox controller," then a little thing like being lost in the middle of the ocean for a few hours probably doesn't register.

There were lots of other warning signs but I don't think an off-brand Xbox controller is necessarily one of them. It's a device that speaks standard protocols and also has had a vast amount of ergonomics research put into letting the user comfortably and quickly express a wide range of actions on a compact form

The Titanic is 900 feet long (in two pieces each about 40% of that) in the middle of a gigantic debris field (comprised of the other 20% of the ship) and it took 70 years to find

also there's nothing wrong with using a USB controller to drive the sub as long as they had a couple of spares on board.

Yeah I was going to say the only safety problem with using an off the shelf little brother controller is that you need to take 3 with you. Which is also the problem with an off the shelf HOTAS, same reliability issue but you're going to have to lose the shitter to fit the spares. Now, the rest of the red flags...

They even mentioned in that video posted that they carried redundant controllers onboard due to reliability concerns.
