Yep. Though I think the winds of blame for this video game controller tin can have opened the discussion wider in the past day or so.

I'm just learning that this sub didn't even have a real window. They took this risk to view the Titanic through a monitor? Something that anyone can do from their own homes? And they paid 250k to do it? I feel like I'm missing something. Like maybe there was no one on the sub and these people wanted to fake their deaths and start a new life somewhere.

I think it's more of the mystery of the subject. People are curious if they'll be found alive or not.

They are detecting life in the search area, theres a a chance we can get a rescue going

Rescue they are 13000 feet down we have nothing that can reach those depths they don't have enough oxygen

These signs of life are coming in at 30 minute intervals

Because it is stupid. People are worried about them, not even his own step son. People are just looking at this and saying how stupid it is . And I do agree we should care more about migrants dying for an example. But this is just so stupid a lot of people are drawn to it.

It would be quite rare to see a seafaring disaster that doesnt result in the loss of all life. I would prefer no one dying.

inb4: Time to bring them home, and send that bastard of a CEO of a shady company into the brig! Hopefully like its okay guys, now youre safe. As for you Stockton Rush, youre under arrest.

Dude is trying so hard to get on stage with Blink-182. Nice priorities.

How will they rescue them?

How will they rescue them?

Not sure if they can. Depends on how deep down they are I think.

How fast does sound travel thru water? I mean is it quick or does it take time like in space. The sounds they hearing could be the sub banging against Titanic if its stuck and trapped in ocean currents or prob just bouncing around on the ocean floor..

I'd like to point out that in the case of the USS Thresher, they heard noises from it after it went below crush depth too. It's not actually indicative that anyone is still alive. Especially with a large shipwreck in the area that likely has water flowing through it.

Sound travels faster in a denser medium. That's why sonar works.

The Thresher was the first thing I thought of as well. And I'm pretty sure those noises ended up being some kind of interference from the search equipment they were using.

If Titan went to find the Titanic, does Tit go find Titan

Sound needs a medium to travel through; sound does not travel in the vacuum of space.
However, sound does travel faster in a liquid.

Sounds travel through the vibration of atoms and molecules in a medium (such as air or water). In space , sound can travel through by gravitational waves.

... yeah it feels like a lot of people thinking they're gonna find this van sized tin can in still intact on the bottom of the ocean and bring it to the surface in ~30 hours just have no idea how the deep ocean works at all

and jesus christ this brian szasz guy just has no tact at all. Like again it's one thing to just go to a concert or whatever, but to post about it incessantly on social media?

I think that Twitter account of the step son is a parody.

And tbh, if they do find the sub, it will probably end up looking like this at this point

hopefully.

and again say what you want about the structural issues we've heard so far like the viewport only supposedly being strong enough to go a third of the way to the titanic, or safety/rescue methods prepared, the one thing they did appear to have multiple fail-safes for was returning to the surface even if they lost power. It just seems highly unlikely they're just sitting on the ocean floor intact

this reporter is saying they're sources say the banging they were hearing was identified as SOS (note: still possible they're floating on the surface somewhere). She also says two vehicles certified for 3K meters were sent down but imploded after going past that depth

Yeah, the banging.

It'll be a fucking miracle though.

Waiting for them to open the capsule to find one fat billionaire inside.

they have about 24 hours of oxygen left no way in hell to find them mount a rescue and then unbolt the damn hatch that is sealed air tight after bringing them up its def a recovery mission not a rescue one at this point

The currents probably carried the submarine far away from the search area

Im surprised the company was green lit to do these trips. If we knew where they were under the sea for example they are trapped right next to the Titanic at bottom. Even then it tough to do a rescue because not many things can go that deep let alone bring it up. And we are in a situation where we dont even know where these missing people are.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong because this def isn't my forte, but my understanding is the Titanic being in international waters made it easier for this company to be shady and cut corners on safety, where if this had been in a body of water governed by a country they might not have been able to get away with it.

Every expert told the company it was a bad idea. But Mr. CEO, who said that regulations stifle innovation, built his submersible from parts he found at Home Depot, and the porthole glass wasn't rated for the depth. He could have gotten porthole glass that would, but that was expensive.

Dude also had wireless controllers as the controls, and we all know that wireless bluetooth always works.

I like in one of the videos he says these led lights, got these at camperland lmfao

Who said the sub had a depth of 45000 feet?

Do they still have air or has the time limit run out

Based on estimates between 15 and 20 hours left.

They have scuba diving tanks under the floor boards but how many hours extra that buys them who knows

If that submarine kept sinking deeper and deeper down, they're most likely dead in a gruesome fashion, even if they had a month of oxygen left.

As cynical as it sounds, the hours of oxygen left is basically just an excuse for the media to keep going for another day. The most likely outcome is that the porthole failed and they died the moment contact was lost.

TBH they're already dead even if they find the whole sub. A rescue operation isn't going to be possible in 20 hours from the bottom of the ocean.

smh
