You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought...

Also a cylindrical design for a submersible that goes that deep is a terrible decision and there is a reason why all other deep diving submersibles are spheres. It works for military subs because they are much shallower vessels comparatively.

Here's what a cool looking non grover version looks like:

I think the s-hook is welded to the pipes

That appears to be true but does not fix the problem that the orientation of the top of the S-hook is such that the sub would need to be rotated ballast up to disengage that S-hook. The angle on the top of that S-hook would necessitate >90 degrees of rotation, and if you're rotating that much, the ballast itself is probably resting on the sub and no longer torquing the S-hook.

i’m 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 couldn’t find the source). also the lack of backup communication and tracking systems is an enormous red flag, way more than 3d printed thumbstick nipples.

On the Titanic subreddit some guy had an effort post about what a bad idea carbon fiber is for this. I can't remember all of it but one of his main points was that, unlike metal, carbon fiber is porus to an extent and absorbing saltwater is going to degrade the material.

Short answer, text messages. On the phone. Slowly. That's it.

Article is an interview with a guy who did the dive a while ago. He says he still has nightmares about it.

No, the article doesnt say that at all. The sub isnt communicating via text message from a cell phone 6km below the surface. Come on.

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.



with enough momentum it might be possible to unhook one side. As in the hook will continue moving while sub roll slows down.
however thats only 1 side unhooked which would lead the sub being sideways due to other side still being hooked.
other problems would be rolling with that sub as that would unhook ballast perhaps causing em to be trapped on top of titanic.

In an interview in 2019, the then 73-year-old was asked whether he ever got scared diving 3,810m to reach the wreck.

If you are 11m or 11km down, if something bad happens, the result is the same, the former French naval captain, who is feared to be on board the missing Titan submarine, told the Irish Examiner.

When youre in very deep water, youre dead before you realise that something is happening, so its just not a problem.

At least this guy seemed to know the score and if anything he spent a long life evading a worst possible scenario like this one. Hell, what a way to go out given his career. I feel a little bad for his family though.

At 11 meters you could probably just equalize pressure and swim up, but after a few hundred meters, yeah.

At 11 meters you're running a strong risk of the bends, because decompression takes longer than you can probably hold your breath for, but probably not so severe that you just Die. Just substantially unfun.

Even if I was insanely rich and also obsessed with the Titanic I just cannot fathom anything being worth packing myself and four others into a tube that doesn't even have proper sitting room. I don't know poo poo about submarines and assume there are mechanical reasons why they have to be compact, but this is just straight up a death tube. It's one step above Musk's cave rescue ideas. A Dwarf Fortress player inventing a "magma submarine" provides better accommodations for their doomed crew.

I mean maybe I just don't have the brilliant mind that would earn me $250k to casually drop on a summer vacation. Maybe this is just LARPing but for shipwreck fans.

Right now I'm just hoping no one dies in the search because if even veteran rescuers are balking then jesus loving christ

It would definitely suck. Hopefully the ship your submersible was launched from has a decompression chamber.
