You fools! Make it sound like a fluke and we could convince Elon to get on one of his lovely rockets to prove how safe they are

Interesting, 47. It seems like this particular car was programmed incorrectly as a joke. It has quite a resemblance to Mr Musk's own motor, wouldn't you say?

What makes the controller funny is the reason for the nipple sticks is because it's ripping off an RC aircraft control method. Imagine them sitting with those sticks pinched between thumb and forefinger from the sides, desperately trying to get the deep-sea coffin to move.

There's no mystery afaict. In the video I saw, the owner of this sub was bragging that they'd been able to image the manufacturing stamp on the ship's anchor. If that's a major discovery then these guys are just fighting over crumbs.

These dipshits has nothing at all to do with that project. The company responsible for the imaging were some of the first people called in to help search because they have the equipment and knowledge to use it and are familiar with the site.

“Who can say what is true, there are many conflicting reports.

But some say the brave submariners made it down only halfway before losing contact, which is… *checks notes* …ONLY about five thousand feet.

Wait… I’m getting something in my earpiece from my producers here.

They are saying if there was, what they call a “compromise of the hull structure,” that it would result in…

*pause*

*silence*

“… that it would result in, do you remember the scene in Jaws when Quint crushes a beer can in his fist?”

Too old at this point, its structural integrity is rotted away from the salt in the ocean. Eventually there wont be a titanic to look at anymore.

so, at those pressures is there any tests etc. with ballistic gel, like are we talking your whole body gets smashed into a thimble sized ball with the remainder just a red cloud? I was thinking even a scrap of skin at those pressures would just, i dunno, dissolve?

Based on math someone did in the main thread:

You'd get turned into a fine red mist almost instantly, to fast for your nervous system to tell your brain that you're hosed. The rapid pressurisation would heat the remaining air to about 20,000 C, which would cause the fine red mist to ignite kind of like how the piston in a diesel engine works. The force of the ignition would still pale in comparison to the 160 atmospheres of pressure and everything that was inside the sub would get squished into a small area.

Yeah, I think at this point basically any heavy disturbance to the hull would turn a good chunk of the ship into brown dust. That's why submersibles and ROVs aren't allowed to even make contact with the deck anymore, it'll collapse underneath them now. Trying to raise the bow section would dissolve it completely by the time it got anywhere near the surface. And the stern is in a billion pieces with multiple decks just ripped off and strewn about like a banana peel from the air bubble implosion as it sank. So trying to get the stern to the surface would also be a catastrophe.
