Billionaire thought he was buying a VIP pass for the fanciest ride in the amusement park. Turns out it was a VIP pass for the county fair.

Plus you gotta get bolted into the thing. No thanks.

Ralph Crammed In posted:In this article here - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/titanic-submersible-titan-missing-day-3-1.6881595?cmp=rss When you think about it, that adds another possible point of failure. I'm willing to bet the phone (with it's battery full of spicy auto-igniting lithium) was probably never rated to be put into a highly pressurized sub 5000 feet under the sea. If one of the Li-ion batteries failed in the phone, or the Logitech controller, or any number of other gadgets the crew and passengers packed along it could easily start a fire in the enclosed space of the sub, which could go very bad, very quickly. I mean from where I am in the thread it's sounding more likely the hull just failed and they're all billionaire pt now, but it just occurred to me that there were probably a lot of consumer grade batteries straight from the Shenzhen factory seconds bins in the sub.

I liked when during that interview with the CEO he points to the interior ceiling handles and exclaims they got them at Camper World.

I don't know if they are over the phone, I may have misunderstood what the guy said, but when he said text messages I thought phone. They may have a more sophisticated system? Or not. Does anyone know? Edit-to be fair tho they probably did bring their phones with them

At this point I'm assuming the phone was a repurposed 90's Nokia.

Or not. Does anyone know? Text messaging and phone communication won't work under water. Unless they were tethered to the mothership. Radio and Sat phone on the surface, sure, but the only way to communicate underwater that deeply is acoustically. Or the miles long ELF arrays they use to give launch commands to nuclear missile subs (probably not even that as I think it's too deep) The battery comment is a good one though, it wouldn't take much to a small short or electrical fire to make the atmospher unbreathable within a few seconds. Do you think they have any emergency breathers? Me neither.

This was mentioned earlier and I thought it was incorrect, but it seems it can be used in an "inverted" way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-short_baseline_acoustic_positioning_system#Applications

Hang on a second. Rolling the sub isn't going to do poo poo to get that emergency ballast off the hook. Because the hook itself is a free-hanging S-hook, so as the sub rolls, the hook will move in the same direction and keep the ballast attached. You'd have to roll the sub the other way to disengage the top of the S-hook from whatever its attached to; and if you're doing that then the emergency ballast still wouldn't disengage because by that point the ballast will be sitting on the body of the sub itself and the ballast's weight will no longer be providing force to rotate the S-hook.

using a logitech gamepad, amazon toilet, and rv handrail on the interior doesnt seem like that big of a deal. the interior isnt structural and doesnt need to be that rugged. it may look dumb but is not that likely to cause catastrophic failure. im way more concerned about their aerospace carbon fiber hull that apparently did not get any certification, and someone earlier mentioned that it failed once in testing (though i couldnt find the source). also the lack of backup communication and tracking systems is an enormous red flag, way more than 3d printed thumbstick nipples.
