Tourist submersible missing on visit to Titanic

[Anonymous]

So do you think they saw the titanic before it imploded?

No. Because the Real Time Health Monitoring System also imploded. I do not think you understand the immense pressure the water creates.

I read pressure down there is about 4000 tons/square meters. So, it's like having 2000 cars (assuming a car wt 2 tons (i.e., ~4000lbs)) stacked up top of a plate that's 1 meter by 1 meter.

Sooooooo....why would one think it would be a safe activity?

I mean, I never claimed to, so I also don't understand why you felt the need to add that dig (though I can come up with plausible reasons).

Anyways, I know it's a lot of pressure, but I would think the pressure increases gradually the deeper you go, not instanteously. And that the monitoring system would pick up on that.

Ok so sorry about the dig. But if the hull had an imperfection, the implosion is so complete and sudden, it's like a bomb went off. It's not a slow loss of pressure, it's more like a balloon popping.

no. but several people onboard had already been down there

I hope they didn't suffer. Just because we found pieces does not mean death was qyick or easy.

People suffer in much worse ways every day all over the world. Why do you care about these particular people?

I didn't know we weren't supposed to care about some kinds of people.

We care about billionaires dying in idiotic ways not the thousands who die every day from hunger and treatable diseases. Anyone who disagrees, look at cnn.com or nytimes.com and compare the coverage of these ‘explorers’ to Sudanese suffering from civil war

‘
Newsflash: people do things that aren’t safe all the time. The Death Waiver alone is reason to believe they knew it was not inherently safe.

But they took their chances with a CEO who believed in himself and his crappy craft and the few times it made the dive before. It failed this time. And that’s really it.

its not that I care more about these people (NP by the way) but it has been a pretty fascinating story. I didn't even know people went down to the titanic (after the first discovery) so its been somewhat intriguing.

It could have been animal sounds.

I don't know if they truly understood the risks involved from pressure standpoint, metal fatigue, and also history of previous dives.

Yeah, except it wasn't. Everyone thinks they know how to spot it but they're often wrong.

If it wasn’t, the person who wrote it should retire STAT from their creative writing career.

Without any previous hull failures, how do you know when too much is too much? Again, carbon fiber is brittle. It's fine until it isn't.

They died on Sunday when they imploded short of reaching Titanic. Maybe the monitoring system worked, maybe not - doesn’t matter because it was only designed to give a millisecond warning before hull failure and at that depth there was no way to survive a hull failure. Their deaths were very fast and painless - we have all agonized more over their fate than they had time to.

People keep posting about the liability of OceanGate - does anybody really think that company has any substantive value? Given how the CEO cut corners on basic safety for this type of endeavor, what are the chances he had any decent liability insurance coverage? What company would even write liability insurance for such a high risk endeavor? Nobody’s going to get anything from OceanGate - I just hope the folks on the mothership have the means to get home. They probably won’t even get a final paycheck.

The only thing that will happen next is that the full picture of Stockton Rush’s insane hubris will come to light, as well as the enormity of the foolhardiness of the other passengers.

It could have been animal sounds.

But these sounds were heard every half hour precisely?

This woman and her boyfriend were onboard for Mission 3 of 5 on May 29-June 6. They did not pay to go down to the Titanic wreckage. They were simply on board to get content for her boyfriend's YT channel. Her boyfriend did get to participate in one prep dive in the sub, though.

Both are very interesting videos.

The leak video is very bad for OG in light of the confirmed implosion.
