Apparently they've lost this submersible several times before, like they just couldn't fuckin find it because it doesn't have a beacon or a gps. I bet it's just sitting there 20 feet below the water's surface

genuine question; if this thing undergoes total implosion, and carbon fiber tends to just shatter, what's the likelihood of any poo poo actually showing up at the surfce in anything other than random bits of scraps?

at the surface? nil, unless there's, like, an oxygen bottle or something that happens to survive the implosion

e: actually i'm not sure an oxygen bottle would do the thing, it would have to be something both bouyant and minimally compressible

there'll be various miscellaneous bits on the seabed and some of them could conceivably be recognizable (like the speakers)

If they had more oxygen left this could have been like on Avenue 5 where they try to get people on Earth invested in a rescue of the ship but instead someone makes a tv show about the ship and everyone on Earth is too invested in the dramatization of their suffering to want the Avenue 5 rescued.

Apparently they used to have constant voice comms but the owner didn't like it because the interruptions from the surface ruined the vibe so he replaced it with the text system.

They also considered an emergency beacon but decided not to for reasons.

If it was a real Groversub they would have just got their own certifications and signed off on their own poo poo

Also the sub would have 120 outlets

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.

The person that claimed they have oxygen candles also claimed he had to repair a 6x5ft section of delaminated carbon because Spencer Composites hosed up the epoxy carbon fiber is impregnated with.

For some reason, I was reminded of JFK Jr crashing his plane because he decided to fly in conditions that he wasn't properly trained for (flight instructors noted that he needed visible horizon to fly safely, and didn't clear him for instrument-only flight without a flight instructor present). He also had an ankle injury and a flight instructor noted that it hampered with his ability to properly control the rudders for landing and taxiing, etc.
