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.

Just look at the thing and consider that the billionaires chose the deathtube.



Has it actually been made yet? That looks like video game concept art.

Given that they were down almost double what the sub could handle in terms of pressure I wonder if it may have imploded over time. The thing appears to have been so shoddily built that a multi day long stay in the depths of the sea might not have been survivable for it. Just because it has 96 hours of oxygen doesn't mean that it will stay intact for 96 hours given how shoddily the thing was made, if stuck below for that long.

Alternatively, I wonder if the banging was some part of the ballast or sub getting crunched over time as the hull slowly gave way until the pressure just made it go pop. That would be horrifying if so.

Forward/Back is done by running both thrusters in the same direction. Rotate is done by running the thrusters in opposite directions. But if one is installed backwards then F/B is now rotate, and rotate is now F/B. So you turn the controller sideways and when you press forward from your perspective you're actually entering a rotate command.. which is now forward.

Triton built Gabe's sub so a Titanic sub is something they can do. It's probably just a CGI render because no one has ordered one yet.

Debris found on ocean floor has been assessed to be from the external body of the Titan sub

From CNN's Priscilla Alvarez

The debris discovered within the search area of the missing Titanic submersible has been assessed to be from the external body of the sub, according to a memo reviewed by CNN.

The search for the crew capsule of the Titan vessel continues, the memo says.

The debris was located on the ocean floor, roughly 500 meters (about a third of a mile) off of the bow of the Titanic, and it was found around 8:55 a.m. ET.

It was discovered by a remotely operated vehicle that was searching the seafloor, according to the US Coast Guard.

The discovery came at an urgent time for the search and rescue effort. Experts say the sub and its five passengers would be reaching the limit of the sub's roughly 96 hours of life support, having gone missing Sunday morning.

Still doesn't explain the banging sound. My money is on parts of the hull, ballast, or windows getting damaged by the pressure leading to loud popping and banging noises until the whole thing just gave way and imploded.

We probably won't know for sure unless they release the sounds though. If there's a really loud noise towards the end then i'd say that's what it was.

I don't understand this guy's point exactly, but I am intrigued that there is pings of giant sharks or something the government is hiding from us:tinfoil:

Rorobb posted:

Yeah I don’t understand this or the other video? How are the sharks pinged? What are they implying is causing the ping at the titanic? Are they saying these specific sharks are going to check it out for some reason? What does this have to do with megaladons??

OCEARCH is a group that captures, tags (with acoustic and/or satellite receivers), and releases sharks and other large oceanic critters and makes their locations available to the public whenever the animals get close enough to the surface to "ping."

These pings are subject to errors for a variety of reasons, which is what happened here. Andromache and Simon are both subadult great white sharks in the 10 foot/400 lb range who move up and down the Atlantic coast. Their actual locations have been corrected to show that they're in the Bay of Fundy, not hovering near the Titanic wreck 500 miles away from the erroneous ping.

The Bananana posted:

Ok, but like.... ignoring various things here, don't sharks usually top... err.. bottom out at 4k ft?

Great whites have been recorded around a max of 4,000 feet. The only deeper large predatory sharks are Hexanchids (sixgills like the sleeper shark and Greenland shark) that go to MAYBE as deep as 7,000 feet. I don't think OCEARCH tracks any sixgills though.
