did they ever get anything nearby enough to actually go poking around the titanic itself to see if the thing got stuck on a chandelier, or has it all been surface-searching and sonaring the bottom

Earwicker posted:ah fair enough. No biggie. Yeah I think it just really depends where they ended up when failure happened. If they're on the surface, they'll be found eventually. If they made it near the titanic before failure, what's left will be found eventually. If the failure was somewhere during the descent then it's pretty slim they'll find anything. Currents would scatter it to the watery winds. E: I'd like to add they have made it to the titanic before that's why I think it's quite possible they were at their destination before something went wrong.

Axel Serenity posted:our store wasted no time today I've said it before on SA but Shadow Divers is real loving good. When they switch from being drunk from nitrogen narcosis at depth to experimenting with "new" weird gas blends the change in tone of the text is very noticeable. I ended up with two copies because I read it and loved it, then a technical diver in my eve corp recommended it so I bought a second copy before realizing I already owned it. Maybe it's not "pay full price for" good though. It's worth grabbing from a thrift store or get off your rear end and get a library card, goon.

Kunabomber posted: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. I fell down a rabbit hole of private pilot accident case studies and it’s insane how common it is for dudes to just buy a plane, never learn how to work the instruments, not bother checking the weather or even file flight plans and then pile their family into the plane and find themselves in a situation where they don’t know how to land the plane and then refuse to admit it to ATC right until they’re actively crashing to their deaths. Dude doesn’t know how to fly his plane but accepts IFR clearance anyway https://youtu.be/ROCUheRin9U Dude runs out of fuel because he won’t admit he’s running out of fuel https://youtu.be/fLlWf-Fk_YM Dude throws huge tantrum when multiple people beg him not to take off in unsafe conditions, immediately crashes https://youtu.be/o29C5QGp3LQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tW4zfTeJqM there is 2 scenarios the sub is durable and it just fills up with water instantly compressing everyone inside. or its not and it just gets flattened instantly but due to it being carbon fiber it shatters as well. Dark Off posted:

A lot of time and effort by people who knew what they were doing? https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/wreck-of-the-titanic-found quote:In 1985, along with French oceanographer Jean-Louis Michel, Ballard again set out to locate the wreck, this time with an experimental, unmanned submersible called the Argo, developed by the U.S. Navy. The Argo traveled just above the ocean floor, sending photographs up to the research vessel Knorr. In the early morning of September 1, Argo was investigating debris on the ocean floor when it suddenly passed over one of the Titanic‘s massive boilers, lying at a depth of about 13,000 feet.

As the oxygen timer ticks down, it gets closer to the Extreme Hubris For Billionaires option where they get found in time but can't get brought up to the surface fast enough. Some guy was on the news earlier saying that if they are found then depending how deep they are, it may take hours to bring them back up. All the money in the world won't make an RV bring you back to the surface faster.

I dunno what it would look like if it got crunched, because the carbon fibre hull would not crinkle so much as just, like, explode into pieces. The internals would get cooked by the sudden change in pressure, so I doubt we'd get anything as cool as a phone or speaker making it.

Grey Cat posted:Honestly it's all on them for skimping on the standard emergency equipment (oh texting will be enough) WTF??? Getting stuck is obviously always the risk even in a proper submersible, anything can go wrong. That's why they're usually remote these days. You're talking about EV/Nautilus, and most of us have probably seen this clip featuring the majestic Googly-eyed Stubby Squid.
