It's about 4 degrees Celsius down there. I imagine 5 people in that little space generate enough heat to offset, but has anyone seen anything about that?

You do not, there's been similar diving bell deaths with multiple bodies, it really doesn't add much time once the heaters go out.

i bet they didnt even recheck the sub for pressure fractures after each dive.

Apparently they did not, and the carbon fiber looked like poo poo even before it went under stress!

https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/20/a-whistleblower-raised-safety-concerns-about-oceangates-submersible-in-2018-then-he-was-fired

quote:

The report detailed “numerous issues that posed serious safety concerns,” according to the filing. These included Lochridge’s worry that “visible flaws” in the carbon fiber supplied to OceanGate raised the risk of small flaws expanding into larger tears during “pressure cycling.” These are the huge pressure changes that the submersible would experience as it made its way and from the deep ocean floor. He noted that a previously tested scale model of the hull had “prevalent flaws.”

Carbon fiber composites can be stronger and lighter than steel, making a submersible naturally buoyant. But they can also be prone to sudden failure under stress. The hull that Lochridge was writing about was made by Spencer Composites, the only company to have previously made a carbon fiber hull for a manned submersible. (That submersible was commissioned by explorer Steve Fossett for a record-breaking dive, but he died in a light aircraft crash before it could be used.)

Lochridge’s recommendation was that non-destructive testing of the Titan’s hull was necessary to ensure a “solid and safe product.” The filing states that Lochridge was told that such testing was impossible, and that OceanGate would instead rely on its much touted acoustic monitoring system.

This was the report written up by the safety guy they fired - he was afraid the "acoustic monitoring system" would basically go off a millisecond before implosion.

I wonder if they speced the batteries to run climate control for 96 hours. That's a good chunk of power. I also wonder if they are drying the air somehow. Otherwise there will be a lot of condensation running down the walls.

Random knowledge I’m not sure where else to share

A sub expert on tiktok was talking about how CO2 scrubbers are very bulky and wondered how the hell they expected to fit one on the Titan, was not pleased to find out that they were using emergency chemical pouch absorbers

Many years ago I was listening to a cooking podcast and they talked about how some butchers experimented with using oxygen-deprivation poison to kill pigs. The idea was that oxygen deprivation is painless and peaceful, and it was pointed out that the reason why it feels like your body is burning and you panic when you hold your breath is because of an over abundance of CO2, not a lack of oxygen.

Anyways if they have insufficient CO2 scrubbing down there the last few hours of their lives are going to be absolute hell

I think they had enough water to not die of dehydration even if it was a case of plastic bottles that they were going to throw overboard once they got to the surface.

It's such a ubiquitous way of sitting with ubiquitous use of the term no one is sure which version was coined first. But considering it came from the Americas in the early to mid 20th century and most people lean toward it being native American inspired.

I've never heard either of the terms as a Brit and it's totally wild to me that they even exist so it's definitely some weird American poo poo.

I brought this up yesterday that I doubted they had proper scrubbers and people assured me, "no they have them according to something or other", I would definitely expect it to be something as inadequate as some sort of emergency packs. I was also mentioning that if scrubbers aren't at the right temperature they basically don't work. So safe to say they are probably going to have a bad time long before their air supply runs out.
