Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkkquote:At the meeting Lochridge discovered why he had been denied access to the viewport information from the Engineering department—the viewport at the forward of the submersible was only built to a certified pressure of 1,300 meters, although OceanGate intended to take passengers down to depths of 4,000 meters. Lochridge learned that the viewport manufacturer would only certify to a depth of 1,300 meters due to experimental design of the viewport supplied by OceanGate, which was out of the Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy (“PVHO”) standards. OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters.

As "grimlarious" as imaging implosive failure is for the billionaires and CEOs, I think it's even more satisfying that those loving ghouls are trapped alive, slowly using their crusty brains to realize that nothing will help them because they've already cut every corner. Just crying next to a full "toilet" and haphazardly banging their Xbox controllers against the walls because they installed nothing helpful. I will be genuinely sad if they get heroically rescued by the government I pay taxes to. E: Uh like in Minecraft? I don't know where the line is even when we're all gleefully rubbing our hands together

You know, depending on just how strong that deep-sea implosion is, it may actually be easier for the rich man to fit through the eye of a needle.

Im assuming if they're on the bottom and there's banging, then they're snared in something and their ballast drop didn't work. There's no deep submergence vehicles that are close enough to be able to render aid, if possible (and I don't think there are any which could render aid in existence anyways). RIP to the poor gently caress who was a tour guide getting paid absolute dick to talk about the Titanic to a bunch of rich bastards, but, dude you should have run screaming like a sane person when you saw the bullshit setup that the sub was made out of. E: I thought about it, I bet they misjudged their descent and actually landed and made contact with Titanic and got stuck in some debris from the wreck, if they're still alive. orange juche fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Jun 21, 2023 |

Three months ago:https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/11llcj0/comment/jbdftlg posted:I worked for Oceangate for six months, and it was by far the worst work experience I ever had. I'm amazed they havent gone bankrupt or lose a sub. Today: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/14ejzq9/comment/jowgcah posted:I worked for oceangate when they found the damage to the hull. It wasnt cyclic failure, it was a giant delamination or dry pocket from manufacturing in the carbon fiber. Nearly 6ft long and 5ft wide and nearly a quarter inch thick. It was absolutely massive. I should know, I helped cut the dead material out. Quit right after that happened because rather than test or scan the sub, they arbitrarily said ok it can only go this far down now.

What the christ lol this guy is absolutely idiotic. This is the same hull that he went "oh yeah we're knocking 1000ft off its test depth" and then adds the 1000ft back right before announcing they're going down to the Titanic again.

quote:According to the company, the Titan weighs some 23,000lbs (10,432 kg) and has an aerospace-standard five-inch (13cm) thick carbon fibre hull reinforced with two domed titanium end caps. By “ærospace‐standard”, I suppose that they mean that it is rated to between zero and one atmospheres.

Comrade Blyatlov posted:Well you're technically wrong because it wasn't a failure of inspection, but hooooooooly gently caress this whole thing is just nuts on so many levels I mean, doing literally zero NDT inspections on your safety-critical pressure vessel with novel construction is what I'd call an inspection failure, but I'll cede the point. It blows my mind that the CEO of that company actually had the balls to get on the drat thing himself. I wonder if he considered himself to be an engineering super genius entrepreneur a la what some stupid people think 'ol Musky is. Either way, one of the most tremendous displays of hubris I've ever seen.

I did not know this thing about when water comes slamming into your pressure vessel it travels at supersonic speeds and makes the whole thing like a nuclear diesel cylinder causing all the air to superheat from pressure. So if/when this happens the pressure differential presumably knocks them unconscious while they instantaneously burst into flames and then get hit with a wall of water traveling fast enough to atomize them? And I hear you all say helicopters are bad..
