Are we one hundred percent sure the sea, deep far down there, doesn't just always making ominous knocking sounds on the every half hour?

Anyway I'm sure they all just stop to have a picnic or something and lost track of time. Happens to the best of us.

The amount of joy some folks are taking in peoples (potentially live) suffering in this thread is a bit scary, including how I’ve been joining in and doing it as well.

Grown-rear end adults winning Darwin awards can be quite funny, but I feel sad for that kid, and if people are actively suffering painfully, I feel sad for them too.

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.

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.

Neither would I, I think ultimately we are in heated agreement. I had read somewhere that the little thumper device was a seperate system that could survive the pressure.

I still think best case scenario is that the thumper leads them to a wide debris patch littered with carbon fibre and maybe a titanium dome is found

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,

The Thresher was a cover up, some new info came out last year.

here is my death theory, the zoomer onboard went mental shortly after the sub lost its wifi approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes into the vessel's dive.

DSV Limiting Factor!

At least in that instance, it's less a rich man's toy and more the rich dude owning the research outfit that operates the sub and does proper science with the thing. GabeN himself isn't cavorting around the sea floor menacing crabs with one of his big-rear end knives.

It can't be a coincidence that this janky-rear end sub has a name almost identical to a genuinely high-quality sub? I mean Titan vs Triton?

Every new picture I see of that thing makes me feel nauseous - nothing fits together properly, the surfaces look rough and unfinished, why the hell is there all that tangled wiring under the flooring?
I couldn't do a deep-sea dive in even the best submersible, I'm far too claustrophobic, but I start feeling panicking just looking at that thing :gonk:

edit: why are there no harnesses or even handles in it??? That thing even get to make an emergency surface, all the crew are going to get thrown around like the balls in bingo machine.

My theory is that submarines are an object that has a platonic ideal (ie they’re arguably the opposite of airplanes, and there are submarine lego sets on the market, so it’s different from something like a unicycle, which has no lego set , purpose, or opposing vehicle) and this particular submarine sunk because it strayed too far from that form (no periscope tower thing or giant singular propeller on the back for instance)

The opposite of a submarine is a zeppelin

It will eventually break apart on the bottom of the ocean, either the metal parts eaten by the same bacteria that are destroying the Titanic wreck or just smashed to bits by currents, and then the crabs move in and the great circle of life continues.

You're right, from the pictures I saw, they just looked like strip lights, but they do seem to double as handles.



I still wouldn't want to have to hang on to them while rolling uncontrollably in an ocean swell.

edit: I was just googling to see if those handles were proprietary or just bought off the shelf, and came across this from a recent NPR interview with that Pogue guy

quote:

On the problems he ran into during his trip
My trip was not smooth. We made it 37 feet down and then they ran into a mechanical problem and we had to abort the dive. I was devastated, and crushed, and did not see it coming.

Man has quite the way with words.

Again, by way of contrast, the interior of Limiting Factor, complete with... chairs!



I assume they went with a cylinder over a sphere so they could fit more people in, stuffs like seats and straps might limit them to only three passengers rather than four. That's 250k fewer buckaroos per trip!
