Quoted: Yeah, but what I want to know is can the meglinating variable intensity multifunction power tool emplace half-seized sprats and brass-fitted nickel slits, with bracketed caps and splay-flexed brace column vent dampers to dampening hatch depths of one-half meter from the damper crown to the spurv plinth?

Quoted: Now its about finding the submersible. Be it in scattered fragments and sections, or resting somehow on the bottom. If its intact, do any of the families demand it be raised to recover the bodies? View Quote I think that if it's found intact in the next few years, they'll try to recover it. If for no other reason than to learn what went wrong. 50 years from now? It'll be another underwater gravesite. My bet is that it imploded though. |

Quoted: This might already be known (not sure what video you posted), but if not. This lost submersible was named "Titan" by the idiots that built it. Has no connection to the company "Triton Submersibles" in FL. Those guys build legit subs, including DSV Limiting Factor that has the current record dive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb5j9oeZCm0 View Quote Thanks for posting that. Erogenous zones for engineers! I didn't see them machine any penetration for cables or gas tubes (if needed) so don't understand the power, control systems, and breathing air systems distribution inside/outside the sphere. At the end of the video there are two hatch or bubble looking things on the outside that are not the entry hatch, and have cables and/or tubes going to them. No idea if those are for test only or diving. Also have no idea how that foam looking stuff that provides flotation would not permanently compress. And how they stay in place during ascent. Maybe they have a super flexible polymer. |

Quoted: So the trapped survivors remains on the RMS Titanic are not there? Will bones survive that pressure, 6500 psi? View Quote I think the difference is how the bodies reached the ocean floor at that depth. With the sinking of the Titanic, the bodies gradually adjusted to the ever-increasing change in pressure. I am sure the bodies, especially the softer tissue deformed and compressed some before the ocean life consumed them. With the Titan, we are likely talking about a near-instantaneous event. One millisecond the hull is intact and you are alive; the next, the hull implodes violently and you cease to exist. |

Quoted: Sub-standard: Explorer shares how doomed Titan submersible's batteries suddenly drained during 2022 trip to Titanic - cutting short four-hour trip to just ONE An actor who once traveled to the Titanic on the missing Titan sub shared how the vehicle's batteries suddenly drained during the expedition, forcing it to end early. Alan Estrada shared chilling details of how the Titan's energy source quickly drained to 40 percent power during a July 2022 mission to see the ill-fated ocean liner. That saw Mexican-born Estrada and his fellow submariners' time spent at the wreck slashed from four hours to one so they could return to the surface before the sub lost power. Speaking on his YouTube video about the trip, he said: 'For safety reasons this is completely understandable when the last battery - the submersible has two batteries - when the second battery has only 40 percent left, it is necessary to return to the surface for safety. 'This means that the four hours that they tell you that you are going to be down there are not fulfilled Estrada - best known for his YouTube channel - still managed to snap a stunning selfie of him standing in front of the Titan's porthole, with the Titanic's iconic bow visible in the depths. The vlogger also told of how the Titan suffered a two hour communications blackout during his voyage. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/06/21/19/72381011-12219589-Mexican_actor_Alan_Estrada_told_DailyMail_com_that_the_Titan_sub-a-1_1687372865154.jpg Mexican actor Alan Estrada told DailyMail.com that the Titan submarine lost communication for two hours during the July 3, 2022 voyage to the Titanic wreck at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean He is one of multiple people who've spoken about communications issues that plagued the sub. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/06/21/17/72381017-12219589-image-a-2_1687365374568.jpg Estrada also shot this incredible photo of the Titanic's famous bow. Estrada paid $1250,000 for the trip - the going rate when he originally signed-up two years ago. The price had soared to $250,000 per passenger by the time of Titan's disappearance. The YouTuber said he was aware of the risks the voyage entailed - but went anyway. 'Because it is an experimental submersible, many things can happen and we were aware that not only something could happen that could put your life at risk,' Estrada explained. 'But the dive probably could not be done successfully if the weather was not in your favor.' Speaking on his clip about the communications issue, Estrada said: 'After 1,000 meters Scott, the pilot, detects a failure in his communication system. 'It is vital that we cannot communicate with the surface, otherwise we can get lost and drift in the middle of the ocean.' The submarine had descended about 6,500 meters when the pilot released a ballast tank from each side to help it float back upwards. A short while later, the vessel regained communication with the ship at the surface and resumed its journey. Estrada spoke after CBS Sunday Morning reporter David Pogue revealed Monday his troublesome experience on the Titan - which saw it suffer yet more communications issues. The difficulties caused the submarine to be reported missing for two and a half hours - a similar amount of time to the blackout suffered during Estrada's expedition.

They were dead before the world knew they were missing. The 96 hours claim of air is bullshit. Likely more like 9.6 hours, since I don't think I've seen any of their dives have actually made the 10 hour dive time they estimate. Always have something going wrong to cut it short. Contemplating if I want to wager a case of Pmags over the fact they are dead. ETA: A fundraiser for St. Judes off this would be badass, how much can we raise, compared to the money spent looking for these dead fucks? |
