No, but even if they did, they would immediately start to take on water and sink.

I just caught one of their early CGI promo videos where it shows the original design and mentions the original name was "Cyclops".

The Cyclops shares its name with a real-life deep-sea submarine developed by a company called OceanGate, and the game acknowledges OceanGate's trademark on this name in the credits.

lmao RMS Titanic Inc, the company that Nargeolet works for, is part of the same company that does the "BODIES!" exhibition -- ie the chinese knock-off of Body Worlds that is probably using executed criminals and black-market sources. And they've been playing games with bankruptcy to sell off Titanic artifacts.

The dude is willing to work for a scum business just to keep doing Titanic dives.

Nargeolet's in a small space with extremely wealthy clients, and he's the director of the giftshop.

If it imploded, wouldn't some of the debris like fabric or tubing or plastic computer parts be floating on the surface by now? I'm not sure if conditions are calm and sunny enough to even spot something like that though.

If it was 2.5 km down when it imploded, it might take a while before any debris gets to the surface.

Stuff like fabric and hard plastic isn't super buoyant, it wouldn't really rocket right up. I'd imagine it might take days or weeks. And over that time it'll be well spread out by currents.

Stuff that is buoyant like foam or lightweight plastic or a human body gets crushed into bits.

Given the window is meant to hold against 400-ish atmospheres of pressure (although it was apparently only rated for 170-ish atmospheres of pressure) I wouldn't give good odds for some middle-aged billionaires and a teenager breaking it.

Yeah I don't imagine anything in that sub is so super buoyant that it would float to the surface. Plus trying to find a little bit of foam or carpet in hundreds of miles of choppy ocean.
I've heard all sorts of stuff recently, like they got some sort of connection but no one responded.
I think their overused hull failed, and they popped way deep down, and there's nothing left.

Possibly, I wonder if it takes a while for them to re-analyse the data to look for a sound they aren’t typically looking for (because what idiot makes an underwater vehicle out of carbon fibre, apparently?)

From the cold war thread.

quote:

A Canadian aircraft searching for the missing Titan submersible, which failed to return Sunday from an expedition to the wreckage of the Titanic, detected “banging” in 30-minute intervals coming from the area the divers disappeared, according to internal e-mail updates sent to Department of Homeland Security leadership and obtained by Rolling Stone. A DHS official told Rolling Stone, that as of 5 hours ago the Titan still had 40 hours of oxygen left and stated that the “situation looks bleak,” adding that they believe the banging was coming from the craft, but that haven’t heard any noise since yesterday.

The Titan set out on its expected 9-hour round-trip expedition from 400 miles off the coast of St John's, Newfoundland, around 8 AM Sunday. The submersible's last contact with the Polar Prince, which provided coordination communication from the surface, was around 9:45 AM.

Despite being unable to reach the Titan from that point forward, OceanGate waited to report the submersible as missing when it failed to return to the surface around 5:40 PM, nearly 8 hours later.

I can't find it but i read a Twitter post that said there's only been four successful submarine rescues in history. 2/4 were in a training scenario and 1 was stuck in a fishing net so the location was known for all of them. Also the oxygen was on the verge of running out for all of them.

What I don't get is why someone would go down to a sunk boat in the middle of nowhere when there's a ton of perfectly good WW2 warships off the coasts of islands in the Pacific to check out instead. Go down, look around, spend the rest of your time at the local resort. Even Hawaii has the Arizona memorial for maximum patriotism.

Well they're British and even though we were Allies during WW2 the Pacific was a little outside their wheelhouse. Plus IIRC they asked us to help multiple times before Hawaii got bombed. I feel like they would be like "This is the memorial of when these fuckers FINALLY decided to help us not get obliterated by Nazis."

This is very true.

I remember one of the last times I dove, and it was in super shallow water, but there were a gently caress ton of rocks around, and a bunch of long spine urchins moving around them. My dive buddy had no problem getting around the rocks, but I found myself falling behind. Now this was stupid shallow, like 6 feet, but I had to get into trained slow breathing mode so I didn't panic and get stabbed if I went too low, or hit by rocks if the waves pushed me too high. This was a full loving tank, in bright rear end daylight, with a trained dive buddy.

Those dudes? Yeah that oxygen doesn't last long if you start screaming.

I've seen videos at conferences of underwater implosions on carbon-fiber/epoxy tubes that reminded me of the construction of this sub. I went digging (i.e. put "underwater cylinder implosion" into google scholar) and of course the videos aren't uploaded but there are pictures. These experiments are driven by hydrostatic pressure, which is to stay a slowly increasing overall pressure to mimic deep sea conditions rather than a sudden explosion or other trigger.
