June 21, 20232 yr Popular Post I am kind of obsessed with this story, and I also like to curate shitty takes. Is this this the shittiest? I think it is: I thought about why this is a shitty take. Cause if this had been just some guy who had single-mindedly pursed a voyage to the Titanic before anyone else and spent his life-savings and he’d died in his sub jalopy, I’d praise him for having balls. Maybe dumb, but ballsy and very much in the “because it’s there” spirit. But to boldly go where others have gone, and charge people for the privilege while cutting corners with safety ain’t ballsy, it’s grifting. And you can’t buy balls for $250k. So just like Lance Bass was never going to be an astronaut, he was just going to be a boy band singer who paid a crumbling Russia so he could pretend— paying for your seat on this thing doesn’t make you an underwater explorer.

June 21, 20232 yr Sure it’s been posted already, but I read this morning that even if they’re somehow on the surface they’ll still run out of oxygen because the sub can only be opened from the outside. Seems like a design flaw that there isn’t some sort of explosive vent hatch

There are a few submersibles that have made the trip to the bottom of the Mariana Trench that also have manipulator arms.

Finding a shipwreck is far different than this. We've just recently been finding WWII carriers and battleships. This tin can was 22x9x8. For reference: The deepest wreck ever found was the U.S.S. Samuel B. Roberts. She was a Destroyer Escort and one of those tasked with protecting Taffy 3's escort carriers when Halsey went off on his wild goose chase. She sank in 22,000 feet of water. It was pretty well known where she was by position reports and it still took 77 years to find her. She was 306 feet in length (a football field) and assuming some of her bridge still remained after the battle and is sitting upright, she'd be between 40-50 feet in height. They aren't going to find the Oceangate for a while.
June 21, 20232 yr So the supposed 30 minute interval sounds.. taps on the hull or whatever... Surely they would know whether they are coming from a surface vessel or one stuck 2 miles underwater even if they couldn't triangulate the actual position?? The titan had multiple ways to rise to the surface given a power failure. Are they truly stuck inside the actual ship without the ability to rise? or are rescue crews thinking theyre bobbing like a damn cork on the surface? I'll hang up and listen....
