How do you get lost finding it when you've been there before? Is there some reason they couldn't mark it on a map or float a buoy with a tracker? Obviously everything else points to they're incompetent but it just sounds so dumb to get lost.

Further Reading posted:It being a debris field and not the intact sub all but confirms implosion I feel. Either the window buckled and shot through the sub or the carbon fibre hull shattered. It's probably the two titanium ends with a bunch of shards of carbon fibre and some well fed crabs. Can crabs survive at that depth?

eviltastic posted:The company that made those is also marketing a submersible that they call the Titanic Explorer because it can supposedly do that. No apparent public price, unless you count a rando unsourced Daily Mail headline. But presumably it costs less than the one owned by Gabe Newell that's rated for ten thousand feet below the deepest point that exists in the ocean. These are the Air Jordan's to OceanGate's toe-less boot

Wee posted:MOST crabs actually live at that depth, its why its called the Crab Zone. I thought they got creams for that now. I keep thinking of that meme where poor people and rich people both end up in the same size grave, and the last picture is of a pyramid with the lol no peasant. We can now add to that, just a picture of a bunch of little plastic bits around the Titanic.

Grey Cat posted:I can't really get over the fact it looks like a little spaceman with a gun. You should send this to GabeN. I also lied, it does care about hydrodynamics and it's shaped that way because it moves primarily in the vertical plane. I.e., unlike the Titan, it's very good at going down and up.

PhazonLink posted:are those gull wing doors? so more points of failure Gull wings yes, doors no. I can't get the website to load now (they may be experiencing a bit more traffic than their wordpress site was intended to handle) but iirc the marketing material said the gull wings are for lighting/camera attachment, helping it glide around without having to engage the thrusters too much, and having some thrusters mounted further from the bottom (and thus further from the sea floor). I don't remember the spec sheet saying anything about the 'lil arms, but I do remember the controls mentioned "joystick, touch screen, and manual override". So no bluetooth controller for the passenger to play with.
