Titanic Tourist Submarine Goes Missing

[Toffee_Loaf]

Not worded as well as it could be I get what he means. This outcome is far preferable than the scenario that they were trapped together inside the tiny thing desperately running low and oxygen and praying they'd found. Their deaths would have been instantaneous. Far worse ways to go.

Dare I say it's certainly a better outcome for the American's because if the crew had died from asphyxiation and that was attributed to their bureaucratic bungling then that would be really, really bad. This way with an implosion, there's no regret - nothing we could do ...

Terrible for the victims nonetheless.

Glad for the families sakes that as soon as they got the ROV down to the site that the sub was found pretty quickly. Obviously not the outcome they would have hoped for but at least not the nightmare one of them suffering.

That ROV seems pretty impressive tech.

Has anyone asked if the Stepson doing Blink 182 for the 3rd night running?

where are you

Crikey, that "medical findings" section on the wikipedia page for this topic is gruesome and tough to wrap your head around.

[Edit: I've just chased up the original forensic article documenting the diver's conditions following this accident. Tough to look at the photos and read the description]

Read so far of the wiki page and got far enough to the point of the amounts of fat and where and why and stopped. That's my nightmares heightened for a while. Those poor men.

Yeah, horrendous isn’t it?

Tragic. What a horrible outcome.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but we need more of a French attitude and not blindly follow orders from America like the poodles are government so often are. The American's are going to be roasted for this and deservedly, but we should have ignored them.

What the hell you going on about you complete trumpet.

Probably the best outcome all things considered. They’d have ran out of oxygen by now and it would have been a horrible 72 hours for them. This way they probably knew very little about it.

Also that the coastguard didn't detect an implosion on any of their equipment that they've had in place for the past three days means they couldn't have been sitting there for any great deal of time before it went pop.

It's more than likely imploded on the first day and there wouldn't have been any fear or panic, it would have just been a binary alive then dead.

Have I missed something?

What bureaucratic bungling would have been responsible for them running out of oxygen?

At least he'll get his wish of being remembered, though not quite in the exact way he envisioned.

 

[PITA]

Is the general consensus that they likely died very early in the dive without being aware of anything? I really hope so.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

If this is representitive of what happened they (hopefully) would not known anything about what was about to happen.

They still paid insane money to go for a ride to the bottom of the ocean in a jarg submersible with numerous corners cut, particularly around safety. A good story to hold up to anyone offering to outsource critical infrastructure to the private sector and/or tech bros.

This thread proves, as if we didn't know, that there are a lot of stupid people who post on GOT.

Impressive that someone actually captured the incident on video but I guess camera phones are everywhere these days

I think in hindsight he might have decided to build it out of 5cm thick maraging steel as per the norm.
