a_gelatinous_cube posted:I'm back in forth in my mind if it would be more horrifying to suffocate in this thing at the bottom of an abyssal trench or floating on the surface. Down in the trench, you know it's all over. Maybe it's better to have time to come to peace with the idea. Up on the surface, until the very end, you can still delude yourself into thinking a helicopter will find you and someone will save you, while fully understanding that only the construction of the hatch prevents you from saving yourself. Just drags it out. I feel like that would be much worse. e;fb by others mobby_6kl posted:You try to push open the hatch, but it's bolted down on the outside  Edit: So, when the rich people inevitably started killing each other off to conserve oxygen, how much extra time does that buy for the last survivor? I mean, the real answer is they imploded, but as a thought exercise

Due to the hydrogen gas evolution in defect sites of the composite (such as voids and cracks), hydrogen-filled blisters can form on the composite surface.

It's not often you have the sympathetic thought of, "I hope they all imploded and have been dead this whole time," but there it is.

Sucks for those people. Would have loved to have seen the court case once they dragged the CEO out of the drink. Do you reckon they got to see the Titanic at least?

It's kind of surprising just how quiet the search and rescue operations have been. Was there any news after yesterday morning's press release about hearing tapping?

We can take warm comfort in the fact they spent their last moments being tortured with the Titanic soundtrack looping on repeat, because something bugged out and they couldn't stop it playing.

I was a little, until it rapidly became clear just how many huge red flags you'd have to wilfully ignore and still step in to the blatant deathtrap.

These Explorer’s Club folks, I can understand having to somehow spend too much money and doing it by going to space (pretty safe when you get there), up Mount Everest (to die and become a permanent waypoint), whatever other poo poo you need to do when you have more money than you know what to do with. Who the gently caress cares about the Titanic? I mean really, they made the movie and we’re all on the same page about it. There are full photogrammetric scans of it. Who. loving. Cares. Stupid-rear end Titanic stupid rear end CEO guy.

If it imploded, you could haul up a liter of seawater from that general vicinity and argue it was their last remains. I dont think even dental fillings or wedding bands would be left.

We've hit the coast guard's official estimate for when life support runs out. Hopefully it was just a quick and easy explosive decompression shortly after contact was lost and not days of utter agony waiting for a rescue that would never come.

Not sure if this has been asked already, but we have to assume the passengers had mega life insurance policies. Would they even pay out for this? They literally got into an unregulated vessel and all signed waivers that said "Hey you might die in this thing"...
