Let's not forget the oxygen supply time was stated by the "Sure! Why not?" guy, was almost certainally completely untested and likely with very little relation to the actual time. Especially if those inside are panicky and breathing hard.

Using a loving GoPro on a £10 tripod as the sole means of documenting one of the most hazardous dives possible is another amusing indication of how shoddy this whole thing was

We need another billionaire to also build their own janky-rear end sub to show everyone that, actually, unregulated diving vessels are absolutely fine. It might take a few more goes but we'll get there eventually! Deptfordx posted:Let's not forget the oxygen supply time was stated by the "Sure!

PurpleXVI posted:I'm not going to let this effortpost go unappreciated. also, its dark to think about but there are definitely multiple teams of video creators (both amateur and 'professional') scrambling to prep a doco/video essay on this incident. More content for the content gods! its bizarre to think about, how everything eventually turns into content. Like biomatter into oil or something. Content is plastic and we are the plastic landfills.

i'm guessing what wne t wrong is they mapped several buttons to double-tap for one function and long-press for another. it's super easy to gently caress those up in the heat of battle

Big rear end On Fire posted:I keep coming back to the ballast release. While a mechanical linkage originating in the compartment is out couldn't they have engineered a radio frequency or bluetooth connection that releases the ballast, or anything other than everyone start rocking the tube? Assuming the tube holds under pressure and oxygen is present getting back up every drat time is the most important part. Not having a homing beacon for quick surface location too is just dumb. I don't get it. have you ever met a very rich person

I don't get it. It's janky because they never thought they'd need to use it. Why spend $Xmillion on safety features? In their mind, it's already safe, and spending money on it is just waste.

I remember using a similar controller to play emulated twisted metal 2 and sometimes I couldn't do shield or jump because the buttons just refused to register input. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the controller nitro boosted them into the titanic wreck itself, and they got physics stuck in a wall.

Irish media finally found someone local with a connection to this business. https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/irish-oil-boss-who-visited-titanic-wreck-says-hes-hopeful-for-five-sub-passengers/a687353788.html quote:IRISH oil executive Oisin Fanning – who twice visited the Titanic wreck with OceanGate Expeditions – has said he’s hopeful the five passengers in the tourist submarine who were visiting the ill-fated ship will be rescued alive. "Consummate Businessman" has to be the tech version of "Absolute President"

Klyith posted:They directly said their design philosophy is "most accidents are caused by human error, so don't bother trying to accident-proof the hardware". lol. hm, i wonder why most marine accidents are from human error. probably not because the mechanical side of things are engineered, made, tested, etc a billion times over to the strictest of standards. all subs are basically the same thing, so it's just a case of the people on board playing silly buggers. well not on THIS one, we are all very professional in here. *jerks the controller upwards as i press the jump button under the impression that it will make it go up higher*
