They'll eventually find the submersible intact with the bow buried in mud thanks to Steve Billionaire taking a heinous crab-cake-and-red-wine poo poo, throwing the sub off-balance. No amount of leaning will spare them from their watery grave.

Anyone who's worn an SCBA knows that you have x minutes of rated oxygen and about 30% of that under any real exertion. Between the panic, screaming, banging, and murdering Stockton Rush, I'm sure they ran out early.

I doubt their scrubbers were as good as advertised anyway, or had any redundancies that would have protected it from a general power failure.

Not that that would have even mattered in the first place, because hypothermia would have probably killed them before even that.

Not that that would have even mattered in the second place, because the whole thing probably violently failed on some part where they were using depth-unrated corner cut poo poo and had probably built up stress failures of some kind between dives

Is it true that the last harpoon for the harpoon gun they take along for the dives is earmarked for these situations where they get stuck below?

Watching 10 more minutes of Avatar 2, I found out that the blue tree elves have to learn to hold their breath but they can't do it as well. But they can get swallowed by a whale and be fine inside it's stomach or whatever and it's like a VR headset. So if those Right Whales are so in need why doesn't one swallow it and teach them a lesson and swim to someplace safe. This could have already happened.

LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AS IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT!
I've told people time and time again- there are some gigantic morons out there with impressive resumes.

quote:

Stockton Rush
CEO

Stockton Rush is Chief Executive Officer and Founder (2009) of OceanGate Inc. Rush oversees OceanGate’s financial and engineering strategies and provides a clear vision for development of 4,000 meter (13,123 feet) and 6,000 meter (19,685 feet) capable crewed submersibles and their partner launch and recovery platforms which make OceanGate Inc the leading provider of crewed submersibles for charter and scientific research.

Rush is a co-founder and member of the Board of Trustees of OceanGate Foundation (2012), a non-profit organization which aims to catalyze emerging marine technology to further discoveries in marine science, history, and archaeology.

Rush became the youngest jet transport rated pilot in the world when he obtained his DC-8 Type/Captain’s rating at the United Airlines Jet Training Institute in 1981 at the age of 19. He served as a DC-8 first officer during college summers, flying out of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for Overseas National Airways under a subcontract from Saudi Arabian Airlines. Over the course of three summers, Rush flew to locations such as Cairo, Damascus, Bombay, London, Zurich, and Khartoum. In 1984, Rush joined the McDonnell Douglas Corporation as a Flight Test Engineer on the F-15 program. During this time, he spent two years at Edwards Air Force Base on the APG-63 radar test program and then on the Anti-Satellite Missile Program as the sole full-time representative of McDonnell Douglas.

Over the past 20 years, Rush has overseen the development of multiple successful IP ventures. He served on the Board of Directors for Seattle’s BlueView Technologies, a manufacturer of small, high-frequency sonar systems. In 2012, Rush was involved in the company’s acquisition by Teledyne Inc, a leading provider of cutting-edge subsea technologies. He has served as board member for Entomo, an enterprise software developer focused on post-sale channel management and financial reporting, and as Chairman of Remote Control Technology, Inc. (RCT), a manufacturer of wireless remote-control devices for several Fortune 500 industrial clients, including Exxon, Conoco-Philips and Boeing. He served on the Board of Trustees of the Museum of Flight in Seattle from 2003-2007, chairing the Development Committee from 2006-2007.

In 1989, Rush personally built a Glasair III experimental aircraft, which he still owns and flies. He completed a heavily modified Kittredge K-350 two-man submersible, in which he has conducted over 30 dives to date.

He obtained his BSE in Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University in 1984, and his MBA from the U.C. Berkeley Haas School of Business in 1989.

Rush has written numerous engineering articles on crewed submersible vehicles in subsea operations for a variety of trade publications and has spoken on private-public investment opportunities in the new ocean economy.

yeah, seems unlikely that banging on the inner hull or window would be louder than the acoustic transmitter that was used for normal comms, which they would presumably still have active. maybe if the power source failed it's plausible.

"Rolling Stone" posted:

“RCC Halifax launched a P8, Poseidon, which has underwater detection capabilities from the air,” the DHS e-mails read. “The P8 deployed sonobuoys, which reported a contact in a position close to the distress position. The P8 heard banging sounds in the area every 30 minutes. Four hours later additional sonar was deployed and banging was still heard.” The announcement did not state what time the banging was heard, or what was thought to have caused it.

Odd that in a game where you change the future you couldn't save the ship.

Project 401 lets you wander around most of the Titanic. It gives you a chance to see the ship as it more or less really was. It's strips some of the glamour of the James Cameron movie away but leaves the very solid looking and beautiful ship. I showed the demo to my son and he said he wanted to go there.

I've been wanting to get this thing but I've always seen it listed as like 80 bucks, so I gave in and bought a whole HOTAS setup instead. Now I want to grab it but it feels kinda morbid. Maybe if it's still on sale tomorrow.

Sound generally travels much better in water than through the air. Banging on the inside of the shell doesn't just cause noise inside, it makes the shell vibrate, which transmits sound waves through the water that can be detected by sonar buoys.

I'm just surprised they can bang on the walls intensely enough for the outer shell/hull to vibrate 🫨
