Which I guess makes sense, I went on the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride as a kid and spent the whole time convinced we were gonna die and that thing never actually submerged

If you do subs, you'll go to hell before you die... Please.

You know what else is awful, deciding that in a last-ditch effort to survive you have to do something horrendous like drink piss, kill and/or eat another passenger, break your limbs or Aaron Ralston an appendage-- and then instead of a harrowing ordeal you can recount on speaking tours, you never get rescued and are just a corpse that spent their last hours eating poop  gently caress, I didn't see it until you quoted it. I was trying to figure out how to do something similar

gonna get a sub for dinner, to honor the fallen by the way, mods, can we call this Groversub instead of Groversubmersible? sounds better to my ear, anyway. i guess Groversubmersible is kinda funny too in how unwieldy it is

Pookah posted:There are at this point, dozens of absolute WTF design choices that even a total ignoramus like me can spot, but why the HELL IS IT WHITE? Most research DSVs seem to be white? Probably helps with visibility during normal operation and recovery? Since like normally you have a team of divers helping secure the thing (to some crane cables in a professional operation, to their half-baked launch and recovery platform for Groversub). Orange and red don't show up well under water. OTOH a real DSV has like half a dozen other helpful safety mechanisms. Rupert Buttermilk posted:I'm just saying that if they can get a detailed 3D sonar image of approximately where the submersible is/was, then they'd really be able to tell, generally, what happened, and whether or not they even need to bother rushing to try and get it. To get high-detail side-scan sonar pictures that would show something as small as Groversub, it doesn't have really long range. So to look at the deep sea floor you have to have a robo-sub that is way down, attached by cables to a boat. And you have to motor slowly back and forth in long lines to build up the picture. tl;dr everyone would be long dead long before imaging sonar could find them

I got to hang out out in a hyperbaric chamber for a few minutes for work today, which is approximately 1.5 times as big as the sub and it was exceptionally awful, even knowing I could get out at any second.

How many layers of irony is this? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/21/us/wendy-stockton-rush-titanic-missing-submersible.html June 21, 2023, 5:56 p.m. ET Anushka Patil The submersible pilot’s spouse is descended from a famous couple who died on the Titanic. Wendy Rush, the wife of Stockton Rush, the OceanGate chief executive who was piloting the submersible that disappeared Sunday during a dive to the Titanic wreckage, is a descendant of two first-class passengers who died when the ocean liner sank in 1912, archival records show. Ms. Rush is a great-great-granddaughter of the retailing magnate Isidor Straus and his wife, Ida, two of the wealthiest people aboard the Titanic for its first voyage. Mr. Straus, born in 1845, was a co-owner of Macy’s department store. Ms. Rush, born Wendy Hollings Weil, married Stockton Rush in 1986, according to a New York Times wedding announcement. Her LinkedIn page says that she has participated in three OceanGate expeditions to the Titanic wreckage in the last two years; that she serves as the company’s communications director; and that she is a longtime board member of the company’s charitable foundation. Ms. Rush could not immediately be reached for comment for this item.

Don't forget that video of him doing some promo piece where the interviewer is like "The people who designed the Titanic thought it was invincible too" and he goes, "Sure, but we're so smart that we're super duper sure OUR submersible is ACTUALLY invincible!"

Another brilliant design element from the company. I don't think that's really a significant design flaw (there are plenty of others, don't get me wrong)--I think pretty much everything that goes down to that depth is technically a submersible. Even Limiting Factor, which cost $37 million and is regularly brought up in this thread as the way to do it, is technically a submersible.

If it didn't implode and they are stuck on some of the titanics wreckage... As the hours go by imagine the arguing The 19 year old, is his father in there too? Does the father kill the owner because his hubris has killed his son? I dont see why not? I can see the other men screaming about the oxygen use while the battle rages on

A successful trip costs $250,000 to get into that thing and descend for three hours before the stupid thing stumbles around in the dark for a few more hours with a roughly 25% success rate of actually finding the Titanic and even when they do you only get to spend 30 minutes looking at it, then you enjoy the next three hours surfacing.
