I’m loving jealous of all the first year engineering students in 2040 who get taught about this incident in their Physics 1 classes instead of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge or the Kansas City Hyatt Walkway collapse

pretty sure by then there will be an entire major dedicated to studying structure collapses in florida

I just read Futility: The Wreck of the Titan, and uh spoiler warning for a 125-year-old novel but it raised a legal question: In the book, the Titan hits an iceberg while the sailor on lookout was drunk, which voids the Titan's insurance policy. The only person alive to testify to this fact is the sailor himself, and he freely tells the insurance company's lawyers. When he learns that the child he rescued from the wreck will get a large inheritance if the insurance is paid out, he refuses to testify. Would this be some kind of insurance fraud?

It would be fraud, yes. This would be a lie of omission.

From what I understand, it was essentially the same in the specific physical sense, but like the discount gamepad, it speaks to a much greater culture of disregard for tested safety protocols and hard-learned lessons.

Turns out, when it comes to highly technical stuff like going to space or the deep ocean, you can't just "wing it" and expect to come home again.

I don't feel bad for the rich people buying tickets to go on this thing or the CEO of the company (lmao what an rear end in a top hat) but I do feel bad for that kid who was on board because he just wanted to support his idiot dad for father's day

Like his dad's sitting inside the metal tube all like "See, son? It's fine, don't worry! Join us!" and internally his brain is screaming DO NOT CRAWL INTO THAT OCEAN COFFIN as he goes ahead and does it anyway, that sucks

So did they die faster than someone at ground zero in Hiroshima or Nagasaki, given the height at which the bombs detonated? Seems like it was pretty quick.

Like, can you map distance in meters from point directly under nuclear bomb to meters under sea in terms of death speed?

For every 10 meters of saltwater depth, multiple sites say that pressure increases linearly by another atmosphere. So if the ill-fated explorers were still descending at a depth of about half a kilometer, then the pressure surrounding them would've been 50 atmospheres (Titanic settled at the edge of the Abyssal zone at 400 atmos) when something in Titan's hull began to fail. The following catastrophic pressure equalization took the craft's internal sea-level atmo to the outdoor 50 in a near instant, which is a hell of a lot of force to exert on the human body. Even a much smaller 9 atmo change, referring to this oil rig decompression article,
has all the force to cube a guy through a half a meter compartment hole in a flash.

reportedly they said they had a hull problem at 13k feet and had dropped weights. That is 392.55 atm of pressure

No torque rating on the bolts, I assume. They could have over-tightened (unlikely) or under-tightened (very likely) the bolts. I'm guessing that they also haven't got a tightening regime, which can lead to a poor seal.
