The cost of the search and rescue mission is likely in the millions of dollars — and will fall to taxpayers, said Chris Boyer, the executive director of the National Association for Search and Rescue, a non-profit education, training and advocacy group. View Quote |

Why do we need to start a new thread every time there's any news?

Probably a better fate than begin trapped in a cold tube watching each other run out of oxygen.

Quoted: If true, hope it was quick for them. View Quote Falure mode for a carbon-fiber container is shattering. They would have died almost instantly. I doubt they did any fatigue-type testing on the hull, to see the effect of repeated pressure cycles. Generally not a good idea with what could best be described as a brittle material. |

That thing imploded as soon as it got to depth hence the loss of comms.

Titanic debris field? Attached File

Think of the piston of a Diesel engine. Then think of the same thing, but with pressures many times higher. That's what would happen in a sub at that depth. Instant crushing and incineration.

What does the human body look like after it suffers that much pressure? Is it flat LOL or does it explode?

From another sub thread: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Other than fuel and some supplies, the cost is already paid for. Why not rescue people from certain death if you can? Don't you get it. If the government doesn't do this we all get our tax dollars back. This is what cracks me up. The boat is built, the crew is on it, they are eating, shitting and drawing paychecks, the fuel is burned no matter what so the only real cost is the fact the boat is not doing the verry important business of... being somewhere else. |

Likely squashed to mush.
I read an account one time of a guy in a deep sea suit experiencing a rupture. His entire body was squeezed into his helmet. |

Quoted: It was only about a couple thousand feet down. Wasn’t even half way to depth when that piece of shit tin can failed. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: That thing imploded as soon as it got to depth hence the loss of comms. It was only about a couple thousand feet down. Wasn’t even half way to depth when that piece of shit tin can failed. Only a couple thousand feet. Yea, that's nowhere near as deep as it was "designed" to go but that's still pretty deep. I know the numbers are classified but military submarines are generally limited to about 1,000 feet or so. (Yea I know the Seawolf can officially go to 1,600 feet, that sort of makes my point.) If that hull failed then everyone on board was killed before they had the chance to really realize they were in trouble. |
