The Wiggly Wizard posted:Is there a good reason they didn’t put this thing on a tether? Yeah. Basically the currents would cause the 4km of cable to swing the little sub at the end around like a carnival ride and kill everyone on board long before they reached the titanic.

Ars Arcanum posted:I wonder what happened; I guess “totally imploded near the bottom,” and “got stuck on Titanic itself and suffocated,” and “made it to surface but suffocated because no one found them” are mostly out. The most likely outcome of it just imploding on the way down seems to have come to pass. It explains everything except whatever that banging noise those acoustic bouys picked up was.

Maybe they got out, and are now on the Titanic trying to jury rig it working again. Bound to be a 100 year old air pocket there. Going to see the Titanic surface soon.

Heres an image from the 2012 expedition and you can see what looks like a crab, possibly a squat lobster Theres shoes in the image if that possibly confronting to anyone.

im praying that if the implosion news is true there was at least a few seconds where the CEO, and preferrably the whole crew, knew that they were about to die. hopefully that acoustic system came thru

LASER BEAM DREAM posted:People kept saying an implosion would be picked up by acoustic buoys. Did they overestimate the noise level or sensitivity of the equipment? Nobody's made a carbon fiber sub before, so maybe carbon fiber subs make a different sound when they implode.

The Wiggly Wizard posted:Is there a good reason they didn’t put this thing on a tether? Given the depths the submersible was intended to go to, you would need 4 km of tether. Carting that around would already be a massive pain and having that much cable thrashing around in ocean currents probably causes other potential problems.

One of the few failsafes was a device on the exterior of the sub that makes a banging noise every 30 minutes.

 At this point best case for the crew is they were killed instantly. I wonder if we will ever get an idea of what happened.

I'm gonna go with it was like ending of The Mist and they figured out a way to somehow implode it instead of being stuck minutes before the Coast Guard found them Either way it involved mist I suppose

does anyone have a recording of the CEO speaking? I'll be a little disappointed if he doesn't have the voice and mannerisms of Cave Johnson. "We're not banging rocks together here"

Could the sheer amount of methane from the farting and making GBS threads form a protective bubble and bring them gently back to the surface?

One of the ships they're sending over, the Horizon Arctic, has a FADOSS system which can lift 270 ton objects as far as 8km You're right, but it's possible.

they could make a big glass tube that's like 4 miles long and get a few cranes on boats, drop it in the ocean right next to the titanic, seal it up at the bottom with strong adhesives etc. and have a little ocean elevator. but we dont know how to engineer anymore

Acoustic buoys wouldn't pick it up if it imploded before they placed them, unless there's one there for research purposes, I guess. Some expert or something was saying that it was equally as likely that the tapping or knocking was from rescue vehicles as it was from the submersible itself.
