CubicalSucrose posted:Wait is this text message comms thing real? It's hard to tell. Yes. They can't get regular radio signals in deep water, what they can receive is very rudimentary and capable of transmitting very tiny amounts of data. Obviously, they aren't tethered to a mother ship, so no hard line either. So that's how subs get to the wreck. Outrail posted:You'd think they'd have some kind of self inflating balloon type 'Ah gently caress gfto' device strapped onto the sub. I saw an interview with the CBS reporter who went on a dive in the sub last year and he said they have seven methods of surfacing, both automatic and manual, so they've got redundancies piled on redundancies for that at least. There's basically three options: *Imploded *Got tangled in a fishing net or Titanic wreckage *Surfaced and haven't been spotted Mr. Funny Pants fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Jun 20, 2023 |

Being spotted seems unlikely. The expert I saw on CBS News last night said he thought that with all the resources they were throwing at it, between the U.S. Coast Guard and what Canada is sending they'd find it if it was on the surface. Even accounting for drift, the possible area it could be in if it was floating is still limited. Take that for what it's worth.

I can't fathom why they didn't put a transponder in after getting lost that one time. You have 7 ways to surface so Step 1 of getting rescued is good to go and then you just don't have Step 2. Doesn't account for getting trapped or imploded though. Probably just shouldn't do this dumb thing they were doing at all.

The ocean is very big and we've lost entire jet liners that actually had transponders, not that long ago. If the mechanical failure was something like "the motor got stuck at full throttle" and they got caught in a current and if the sub isn't very visible from the air even when surfaced, I think it's still possible they could just lose it on the surface. It's June, there's still icebergs in the north atlantic, can you tell the difference between a 2m long hull and a 2m long hunk of ice, from a few thousand feet up in the air, potentially during rough seas?

If it was something simple like a stuck throttle or they got tangled, they probably would have radio'd the mothership. If it was an electrical failure the sub should have automatically dropped ballast and surfaced. It needed to be a sudden event that both took out comms and also stopped the sub from surfacing. Something like a sudden implosion. Almost certainly they would be found if they surface before they run out of air. The Navy has spent a lot of money on the problem of "finding a metal tube in the ocean". If they had a transponder that would go from almost certainly to 100% certain. Comparing finding a craft which is floating in a known area to an airplane that turned off its transponder and deliberately flew away from land for hours is a bit disingenuous. You're talking about a search field of hundreds of square miles vs millions of square miles.

This has been talked about but I think it bears repeating they went down in a submarine with no windows to watch the wreck on computer screens which they could have done on the surface via drone. To paraphrase Airplane!: “I say: let them drown”

I know them well, used them extensively when I was in the hospital in March with a kidney stone. Poop I believe was handled with a large zip-lock bag. Anyway, reading the below article, if someone puts a gun to your head and makes you place a wager on what happened, you could do worse than guess that the porthole that quote:the viewport manufacturer would only certify to a depth of 1,300 meters Turns out an employee had allll kinds of safety concerns, got fired, and settled out of court. Oh, and from his lawsuit you can add one more possible scenario: *A fire from the quote:hazardous flammable materials [that] were being used within the submersible https://newrepublic.com/post/173802/missing-titanic-sub-faced-lawsuit-depths-safely-travel-oceangate
