I mean, it sucks if there is no way of ever knowing for sure what happened. That's how the dumb conspiracies start

there might be a way from the wreckage, but yeah I mean navy subs obviously record everything. for the DIY personality you can save stuff like that by putting it outside the pressure hull and keeping it at equilibrium. but then there's simple stuff like a ships log pen and paper. of course in a deep sea submersible you would probably want something a little more robust.

just because the thing imploded two hours into the trip doesnt mean - if that hadnt happened - that the video game controller couldnt have caused some other, even stupider accident further down the line. they just didnt get a chance for that particular set of fuckups to occur.

exactly, the other dumb systems -- the backwards installed propeller, the logitech controller, bedpan, the janky texting comm system, the hamster wheel ballast release, inescapable hatch, etc -- only had to be reliable enough to outlast the least reliable component, the hull. they are examples of perfect modern engineering.

So if a CBS journalist was ostensibly "trapped" on this thing with no internet during an earlier voyage, how big a story was this? As an Australian I had zero knowledge of any of this prior to this story <ahem> going down

I.. don't know how to read this. :eng99:

We've already seen a quick 15 psi (at sea level there's about 1 atmosphere of air on you at all times)->135 psi turn a pig carcass in a diving suit into a mushy paste over the course of a few seconds, on Mythbusters, to the point it even smushed the iron diving helmet slightly.

they lost contact around 1h45m into the supposed 2-2.5 hour dive, or 83.33ft per minute at 2.5 hour travel. most places have said it was a 2 hour dive, though which would make it 104.167ft per minute

distance = time * speed, so we know they were probably around 8750 to 10937.493ft when they exploded, that translates to about 264.21 atmospheres, or about 3,882.89 psi, assuming they were taking 2.5 hours to travel down there. It's much worse if it was 104.167ft/m because then it would have been 330.27 atmospheres, or 4853.61 psi.

using that chart, we can also infer that these implosions happen quickly. Mythbusters did the diver compression test for roughly 30 seconds at 135 psi and if you weren't dead you'd have passed out after about 5-10 seconds at best while your flesh blood and bone just turn into a liquid.

This was somewhere around 36 times stronger.

edit: By comparison, James Cameron did the Challenger Deep dive in about 90 minutes, which means he was fuckin cruising around 400 ft/m

i had to listen to james cameron talk about himself and how great he was for 2 minutes before he got to the point but in that interview about this he does say something along the lines of "yeah the hull is by far the most important part and we spent 3 years just modeling ours in a computer before we even started trying to build it" which makes perfect sense because any other malfunction is at least theoretically possible to recover from. if the hull fails you die before you even know it happened

Yes. He even insinuated threats against the people trying to rescue them if they didn't find them in what comes off like a half hearted hope that he could pawn responsibility off onto them if they didn't find them in time.
