as a kid i had some off brand N64 controllers with an asymmetric 2 prong design instead of the classic 3 prong from nintendo. i want to say the brand was pelican. anyway, those things held up incredibly well and still work today. not all 3rd party controls are bad. e: or maybe it was super pad? hmm, yeah, this looks like it https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1w7zx3/this_was_my_3rd_party_controller_of_choice_that/

https://history.howstuffworks.com/historical-events/byford-dolphin-accident.htm Brutal read on what happens in rapid depressurization. quote:The fourth diver, Truls Hellevik, suffered the grizzliest death. Hellevik was standing in front of the partially opened door to the living chamber when the pressure was released. His body was sucked out through an opening so narrow that it tore him open and ejected his internal organs onto the deck.

are we sure this wasn't sabotage by one of the passengers to undermine the noble OceanGate venture? is it possible one of them was a pedophile? i'm only asking here.

the trip "only" cost $250k. that's rich people territory, but not like hoarding the same wealth as an entire nation rich. as far as deserving to die that way, if the hull ruptured it's not a bad way to go, dead before you know it. sucks for you family who won't have anything to recover.

William Bear posted:Why?! Anything that goes from the inside of the sub to the outside weakens it; making the sealing mechanism external only makes for a simpler and stronger hull. Technically they could have included special stuff like emergency explosive bolts and whatnot but that costs $$$. Edit: Honestly it sounds like the cabin was actually reasonably designed; it's the rest of the thing that's janky as hell. That said, the controller thing isn't that weird. The Navy apparently has been using XBox controller for some time. Makes sense, game companies have spent millions designing and testing the things to withstand hundreds of hours of (ab)use.

Occasionally even classification bodies get something wrong like dnv did here https://www.ctif.org/news/explosion-norwegian-battery-hybrid-ferry-may-have-been-caused-fire-extinguishing-system They basically never get structure approval wrong though but approval of novel methods is a long and expensive process involving lots of third party engineers, especially for something being built from exotic composites for special passenger service international voyages. No insurance. No uninterested third party reviewing vessel safety. All lols

JerikTelorian posted:Technically they could have included special stuff like emergency explosive bolts and whatnot but that costs $$$.  These guys drove their submarine with a game controller they bought from walmart. Figuring out explosive bolts is obviously wayyyyy outside their engineering talent.  250k gets you sitting on the floor, staring out a 12" bubble, huffing strangers farts, with only the risk of a gruesome lingering death.  Rich people are so loving weird.

The french oceanographer that’s missing, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, was a big part of that company that was salvaging artifacts from the wreck for many years. He was head of the 1987 expedition that established their salvage rights. You would think he know better than to get in a dodgy submarine. He had a public feud with Bob Ballard that has origins in the original joint expedition that found the wreck. The french feel that they got screwed out of their share of the credit.

Yea but at the depths it's designed to go, as long as the door opens outward it's pretty much self sealing from the external water pressure isn't it? Kinda like the other way around of an airplane plug door. Seems like it's more a matter of the big hole in the pressure vessel compromising the integrity of the whole thing which is what you need to design around, and less of there being a particular Achilles heel in part of the system.
