Contractor Morton Thiokol was ultimately found at fault for the Challenger explosion. Suggest you watch a documentary. |
What about the reports that it had been experiencing power issues for some time? |
No, that won't work too well. You'd end up with a bigger mess of tangled steel. They will send in teams of underwater salvage divers to cut and lift pieces that will then be lifted from the surface of the water to a barge. It will be a very difficult job . Divers will be limited to 80 minutes without needing to go through decompression on the way up. Obviously more time since they are all decompression certified. They may be able to rig some sort of a saturation dive platform that will allow the divers to work without decompression for up to a month. And remember, the guys who will be working down there will have terrible visibility and that will compound the problems. Don't hold your breath. It will be a long time to clean this out. |
Why decompression? The amount of time under? It’s only 50 feet deep. My knowledge of scuba diving is limited. |
Using air, the no decompression time is 80 minutes according to Navy dive tables (and you handy dandy dive computer). The need for decompression is a function of time, depth and oxygen content (or rather absence of nitrogen). |
No one is saturation diving at 50 feet. It will be a major operation but that’s absurd. |
I suggest you watch the documentary again. https://www.britannica.com/event/Challenger-disaster |
I think there are some bored third graders on here who have never even driven a car. |
Instead of being sorry, isn't it easier to read online news reports? |
No concerns about shaped charges and the environmental health of the Bay? |

Several of the containers contained hazardous material and some have been breached according the BBC radio coverage I heard. The ship is also full of fuel. Apparently a sheen has appeared on the surface of the water. |

+1. NASA owned a HUGE part of this tragedy. |
