Titanic Tourist Submarine Goes Missing

That's a different question to what you asked though.

What you should be asking is would you rather:

Instantly die with no prior warning vs knowing you're going to die very soon and that you'll first drift off.

Can't imagine anyone not picking the first thing in that scenario.

I also don't get anxious about things I have zero control over like said solar flares.
I bet that comes in handy supporting Everton.
 
It’s pretty clear that the sub wasn’t up to code, but whatever he heard surely almost certainly wasn’t “cracking” or he’d be dead too?
It's possible that the metal and/or carbon fibre experienced fatigue, which has resulted in the ultimate failure. This may or may not have been audible over time.

I'm far from an expert, but an old school friend is - works for BAE, admittedly on aircraft and not submarines. He made a pretty sensible point regarding it.

They failed to have it inspected per the regs., because they suspect it wouldn't have stood up to examination; therefore, would their tests have been rigours?

If you aren't building it to a standard that will have it certified, you're unlikely to do tests that would meet that criteria, so fatigue may have gone unnoticed.

My friend pretty much said it's probably been a slow but steady decline at a joint, which has eventually failed. This, however, should have been a key focus.

I thought Rush was quoted as responding to the test questions specifically saying that the technology doesn’t exist.
 



Here is footage from a Youtuber who was on it last week. Looks like it didn't launch properly due to some issues. Fella dodged a bullet there.

What engineer/scientist weighs someone with scales on a rug?, opening ten seconds. None of the gear, even less of an idea.
Also, this smug chap* and his beautiful girlfriend and her social media, where did these bleeders get the half million dollars to go twutting about in captain haddocks tube of death? There's some really odd people about.
 

Distraction? Questions Swirl Over Timing Of Sub Story As Biden Bombshells Hit Target


As two IRS whistleblowers prepared to go public with more damning information implicating the Biden administration in a scheme to bury evidence of Hunter Biden's tax crimes - as well as the revelation that Joe Biden was 'in the room' when Hunter shot a threatening message to a Chinese business associate demanding payment, a story which some have called "the biggest political scandal this country has ever seen", another story captivated the nation: the deaths of missing submarine passengers who set off last weekend to see the Titanic, only to lose contact shortly into the trip.

Late Thursday the Wall Street Journal reported that "A top secret military acoustic detection system designed to spot enemy submarines first heard what the U.S. Navy suspected was the Titan submersible implosion hours after the submersible began its voyage," and that "the U.S. system detected what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site discovered Thursday."


What's more, it's not like the military took days to try and figure out what the sound was. "While not definitive, this information was immediately shared with the Incident Commander to assist with the ongoing search and rescue mission."

So, the Biden administration knew on Sunday (while not definitive), that the submarine sounded as if it had imploded hours into its journey. What's more, they let everyone think the passengers were alive.

This has led many to wonder whether the Biden administration allowed people to think the sub passengers were still alive, despite information and belief that the sub had likely imploded early into the voyage, a story arc that would have fizzled out much sooner and turned the public's attention to the far greater bombshell of a story surrounding the latest alleged crimes by the Bidens.

Furthermore, while an official death announcement from submersible company OceanGate was predicated on the discovery of a debris field, that may not be enough for those questioning how the sub story came to captivate the nation on the same day the most damning evidence to date against the president's family emerges.





Let's see what the administration comes up with. Now that the story has served its purpose and the White House's "historic" press secretary looks to move to even more dramatic geopolitical shocks, we are confident that it will be some variation of 'out of respect for the families,' or 'at the company's request.'

In the end, however, it's not like a diversion was even needed: for those wondering how many minutes the mainstream media has devoted today to the IRS whistleblowers' story, we have the answer: 0.




Looool. TITANIC if true

Technology for testing? It's been available for years. I was using non destructive test gear in the early 90s on composites, it was around a long time before that.

Composites are great for a lot of applications, even marine applications. No problem making even fairly big boat hulls out composite. Majesty yachts here in the UAE make a 175ft yacht out of fibre glass (nowhere near as strong as carbon fibre) and it's built to MCA ocean going classification.

Nobody makes submarines out of them, it's not for that kind of pressure.
