Further Reading posted:It's been a minute since I last did fluid dynamics but I think that's kind of a moot point because that pressure is hitting it from all sides. Like the force of the ocean is pushing up from below as well as down from above. But if it's at the bottom of the ocean, it's like in the sand, the ocean isn't pushing up, right?

Well they might, considering one of the bouillons used to be the CEO of the company that built the submarine, and now nobody else will buy a deep sea submarine from them with a porthole certified for 1/3 of the target depth.

The inside of the sub is atmospheric, the outside is 380 atmospheres. They were not sucked out, they were violently imploded.

Delthalaz posted:How likely is it that the “banging” has anything to do with the sub? From what I understand the banging is a "failsafe" that automatically goes off and makes the kind of noise that can be zeroed in on so the sub can be rescued This should not be taken as evidence that A. The sub is in one piece B. The passengers are alive C. The thumper is even attached to the sub It is just a timer and a maracca, that's it Also, y'all need to think about what pressure is and how it works, Jestery fucked around with this message at 11:33 on Jun 21, 2023 |

"We've heard from the Explorers Club, who are offering to help locate the submersible using remotely operated vehicles (ROV) or underwater robots from the UK's Magellan company (see previous post). The remote-operated vehicles can go as deep as 6,000 metres and have been to the wreckage of the Titanic before, Explorers Club president Richard Garriott has said." Could this be Lord British's first success since UO? (No)

The Dirtiest Harry posted:Pakistani billionaire’s 19 year old son is on board. loving 19, basically still a kid. These hand wringing posts are sappy as gently caress and groanworthy. It turns out with the incredible magic of nuance as a human being I can sympathize, empathize, and feel terrible for these people. This is about the worst way to go and it's a tragedy when anyone dies in an accident. But I can also take joy in the irony that the billionaire who spent his stolen wealth to successfully lobby for de-regulation is dying in a completely unsafe and avoidable way is also completely appropriate and hilarious.

Hotel Kpro posted:It could be literally anything, it could even be a boat! Yeah but if they are detecting on the half hour banging, and the sub was equipped with such a device, it certainly points at it being the source Again, it could be as described and attached to a scrap of carbon fibre following ocean currents, but it at least supports the implosion theory rather than the surfaced and lost theory

Jestery posted:While true, I think it seems to be regular which would be some evidence of it being the device in question I'll bring up the USS Thresher case again, where some search and rescue ships repeated hearing regular banging and even garbled radio transmissions from the wreck of the Thresher for quite some time afterwards, and were convinced the ship was still intact with people waiting for rescue and trying to communicate. Since then experiments and investigations have confirmed that the sub imploded in the blink of an eye, and the search and rescue boats were just confusing some other random sounds as signs of life from the Thresher. e: quote:On 9 July 2021, the United States Navy declassified the narrative of the submarine Seawolf during the search for the Thresher. The Seawolf detected acoustic signals at 23.5 kHz and 3.5 kHz as well as metal banging noises which were interpreted at the time as originating from the Thresher. However, after the commander of Task Group 89.7 ordered that echo ranging and fathometers be secured so as to not interfere with the search, no further acoustic signals were detected by the Seawolf other than those originating from other searching ships and the submarine Sea Owl. Ships make regular noises. There's plenty of ships in the area. I'm not saying it's impossible for the sub to still be intact, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
