According to the USCG, somewhat large sections are on the ocean floor.
The “tail section” etc.
You’re in good company. Anyone who doesnt question EVERYTHING they are told by the media, government, school, and employer is a schmuck.
If you are not careful in executing the experiment the diamond will crack costing you a diamond that you need to buy for the next experiment.
Kind of like marriage...
22 ft. long. Breaks all the covid rules.
Being in a catastrophically imploding/collapsing sub at several thousand feet deep is probably a very quick death, like getting hit directly by a 500 lb bomb.
They probably didn’t even have time to realize what was happening
the acrylic view port was only rated to 1400m
I cannot believe those two billionaires did not think to build their own sub...
I think the word “compressed” is ambiguous in this context: The ring and the watch are compressible due to voids. The metal itself would compress only dry slightly, if at all.
yes
Um, there's nothing left to recover.
Unless a few seconds of groaning or cracking noises preceded the implosion.
Since news of the missing sub broke, I’ve been thinking implosion and thinking about an episode of Mythbusters where they attempted to answer the question: Can a deep-sea diver’s body be crushed into his helmet if his air hose breaks?
The idea was that if a deep sea diver’s air hose is cut, the pressure differences between the water and inside of the suit will cause the diver’s body to be crushed and pushed up into his helmet.
The Mythbusters made a meat mannequin, filled with organs, put it into a deep dive pressure suit with an old diving helmet and dropped it 300 feet into the ocean. IIRC, the myth was partially confirmed.
I like how the 4 electric thrusters are powered by the poo from the head “hidden by a curtain” in the front.
The Domes on the ends are glued on
I imagine it’ll be very similar to a air crash.
Gather every piece of the vessel possible and reconstruct it in a hangar or warehouse. Most likely the failure point or points should be pretty obvious.
Why would they bother? I understand in the case of commercial aircraft because there could be thousands of those aircraft still flying and it would be good to track down what failed. In this case, it’s a one-off, taped together by a goober in his garage. What could be learned that would justify the huge expense of recovering the shards?
To improve the oversight and safety requirements so this doesn’t happen again.
This isn’t the only company using submersibles to dive on the Titanic and other locations.
That’s not going to be possible...they will never find the point of failure. The destruction from the implosion is so complete that the carbon fiber hull will be fractured into millions of pieces. Plus the fact that a significant portion is simply going to be lost.
“First off, the media hasn’t told the truth about a single thing in about 6 years.”
You forgot a 0. 60 years. They haven’t told the truth since at least the 1960’s.
