somebody posted studies of carbon fiber failures under compression in one of the threads on this and it just rips open when it fails. so some fissure opened up and instantly killed them probably

yeah, carbon fiber fails catastrophically if it fails at all

if any part of the fiber starts to rupture/split/etc & it's still under load, it's like pulling a thread from a sweater made out of glass

it probably sounded like a light bulb bursting from a distance

Thing is, we now know Carbon Fiber is safe to use in submersibles diving at those depths (up to 3 trips total and no more though).

All the interviews with the inventor remind me of Audience Of One, the docu about a pastor who is convinced he can make the Evangelical version of Star Wars, a full-length big budget motion picture, with only himself as producer, director, and editor, having absolutely no knowledge of any of those fields, and with no one able to convince him that each of his obviously bone-,headed decisions are wrong.

After failing to make the movie, he declares to his congregation that they are moving on to a loftier goal: to establish the first church... in space.

But of course, that guy's hubris came from an almost self-hypnosis level of religious conviction while this billionaire rear end in a top hat simply saw himself as one of the unquestionable upper class lords of the Earth.

It'd save air but since by all accounts the Titan has no ability to vent externally the decomposing corpse smell would overwhelm the survivors pretty quickly.

The temperature at their depth is about the same as inside of a refrigerator, so decomposition won't be an issue in the time frame they're dealing with. Assuming that they haven't been crushed outright, there shouldn't be any rotting corpse smells to detract from the close-quarters, open-shitter miasma.

That really does put it into perspective, I was thinking about the wildrake diving accident where they died of hypothermia in a bell, that was only 520ft.

So even if they find the sub intact with the crew alive just chilling on the bottom of the ocean today what are the chances that rescuers could even get them to the surface before they run out of air?

Referring to my timer from yesterday https://countingdownto.com/?c=4831670
They supposedly have less than 14hrs of air left, so pretty unlikely, this kinda thing usually takes days from when it happens and they KNOW where they are. This is an unprecedented and they still don't even know where they are. So assuming they aren't on the surface they are dead.

Pretty low I’d guess. You are correctly recognizing that even if the precise location were known right now you have to add time to get the ship to the spot, deploy rescue robot or submersible to it, attach cable, haul up, and get to the bolts and open them against whatever air supply is left.
