Vegetable posted:They just announced that their CEO was piloting the sub. They held off for so long before announcing this. Lmao one of the first articles I read when this first came out said that there were five people on board and there was always one pilot and one "Content Expert" (I'm guessing a fancy name for a tour guide) in addition to the passengers. So all this time I've been thinking it was Pilot CEO (acting as tour guide) British billionaire profiting off Dubai slave labor Pakistani millionaire Pakistani millionaire's son

Reading the "medical findings" section and remembering that all that carnage was caused by a decompression from 9 atmo to 1. If the same thing happened to that sub when contact was lost it would have been a decompression of 400 to 1.

At what point was the sub actually lost? Was it Sunday or Saturday? Talking with the co-worker who just doesn't understand how they can't find it because don't subs have GPS on them? Because you know the ocean is small enough that GPS is going to be accurate 🙂

Breaking news: the sub was recovered and it appears to be sabotage. The hull was damaged by someone using a bladed instrument to scrawl YOUR NOT MY REAL DAD BLINK RULEZ in the carbon fiber.

I'm struggling to come up with an analogy for how stupid it would be to use carbon fibre for a pressure hull. Chocolate teapot, perhaps? The primary benefits of CFRP is high strength (in tension) to weight ratio, which is pointless in a submarine because weight is never a big issue*. The one thing you never do with CFRP is put it in compression. *Unless you're the Spanish and you build submarines that will immediately sink: https://qz.com/86988/spain-just-spent-680-million-on-a-submarine-that-cant-swim

Because you know the ocean is small enough that GPS is going to be accurate 🙂 The sub has 96 hours worth of oxygen for five and according to the company the sub was down to 41 hours by 1PM EST today, so if my awful math is correct that means they submerged at 6AM EST Saturday morning. Apparently they lost contact fairly quickly, like an hour or two in.

there's a lot of good analysis here, but he seems to think this is the first time the vehicle went to that depth and with more than one person on board. there is video from them visiting the titanic wreck in the past with multiple crew, so that part at least is wrong.

Somewhere James Cameron is both salivating at this, and thinking, man. I know what Avatar 4 is going to be about. The deep seas of Pandora. He will then invent or use enough deep sea subs to film everything on location.

Because you know the ocean is small enough that GPS is going to be accurate 🙂 They lost contact an hour and 45 minutes into the dive on Sunday. The submersible doesn't have any onboard navigation at all, so once they were out of contact they were also off course. Real submarines designed for long term underwater travel use inertial navigation systems (INS) because satnav is just not an option under even a little bit of water. Military subs can of course surface to re-align using satnav or stars or use towed buoys to do so from just under the surface, but there's a lot of technology not to mention crew skilled in rote navigation to make sure submarines and even surface vessels know where they are.

JerikTelorian posted:They were lost an hour and 45 minutes into the dive on Sunday. it did have INS, so the operator on board would've had some idea where / how deep they were, but it lost comms with the surface. this was apparently expected and happened on a previous dive, but in that case contact was regained when they began to surface at the end of the dive. comms ending at 1:45 doesn't necessarily mean that's when a failure occurred, though it's not a bad guess. i read something about it sending an acoustic pulse every 15 minutes, and by now i assume they've had multiple ships listening for any sign of it in a wide area and haven't heard anything. that to me is the biggest indicator that it's not simply lost, it's destroyed or completely disabled.

I think one of the most interesting military secrets that we know that exists but have no loving clue about it besides that it is certainly a capability that we have. There is another way of communicating with subs underwater, Extremely Low Frequency radio waves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_low_frequency However, as far as we know, the US has decommissioned our ELF facilities, which are really loving difficult to hide, so how do we communicate with our subs now?  Either we have come up with some super secret novel way of creating EFL radio waves or we have something crazy secret like working quantum entanglement communication.

This metal skin, they’re sinkin’ in It must be for real, ‘cause now they can feel This voyage to find, the Titanic spine It’s not their time, to wonder why Everything gone black, everything’s grey Now that they’re stuck, in submersed decay They didn’t want this, remember that Wish they could forget, when the porthole cracked They let the whole crew die Submarine, submarine Now they’re alone, on a billionaire’s dime Not having fun, because Titan can’t climb Instead of a wheel, they have Logitech steel Unable to rise, now they’re flipping the keel If they’d put just a tad, more safeguards in place Could’ve done more, in that watery space They let the whole crew die Could have been easier for them They couldn’t change though experts wanted to Should have been safe enough for five Father and son, they’d all be alive Submarine, submarine They let the whole crew die, submarine They let the whole crew die Ah, AH-AH-AAHHH, AHH-AHHHH-AHH Submarine, submarine Oh, submarine, submarine
