They made a poor choice to be there, but I really hope they didn't suffer, nobody deserves that.

 

[Neff]

Yeah that one minute of freefall in darkness thing sounds bullshit and very unscientific to me.

This is a strange situation, the actual victims have no clue what happened, but the onlookers are feeling disturbed by their violent deaths.

I still get an inkling that that this is to make us feel better about the outcome.

The freefall alone is anxiety and the utmost fear inducing. Possibly even painful strain in the freefall felt prior to the supposed 20ms implosion.

whats even worse is that the sub tour had everyone sitting or crouching. You couldnt even stand up. Even if the tour was fine, who wants to be in a confined space sitting all afternoon.

They were in free fall? How does that happen in a sub?

Supposedly it lost power and just kept sinking to the bottom. No power, no release of weights.

Oh… in the cold and dark… waiting… that would be terrible

Sure but it’s still (probably) an accurate simulation of the final failure.

crazy just seeing the body compress like that, did their bodies actually create a fiery explosion?!?!

super liquified.

[NecrosaroIII]

Did they ever state the conditions of the human remains thehly foun. Was it paste?

 

[Happosai]

There was an update from the S & R crew or whatever you'd call them at this point a few weeks back. Seems the did find more human remains. Probably not what people are thinking. I'd imagine something more on a micro level lodge within tge wreckage.

Coast Guard recovers "presumed human remains" and debris from Titan sub implosion

The U.S. Coast Guard said it recovered "additional presumed human remains" and what is believed to be the last of the debris from the Titan submersible.

Seeing what happened to the Logitech controller is key to helping us have closure about this Darwinian adventure.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

This whole OceanGate saga, how they operated and their practices and policies they had in place was just Loony Toons. Just comical.

It's like bumping into the SpaceX team shopping for Falcon9 parts at Harbor Freight. It makes no fucking sense.

Titan crew said 'all good here' before submersible imploded

Two-week public inquiry sees last communication before deep-sea disaster near wreck of Titanic last year.

I just saw that picture moments before visiting this thread. Looks like it crushed from the middle I would guess? I remember all of the simulations showing that it likely imploded and shattered into a million pieces, but that doesn't seem to have been correct.

I believe the tail cone was a separate part that wasn't actually sealed off(not at 1 atm) so it just popped off in one piece. Just a picture from wikipedia showing that.(The yellow part)

In addition, they laid out serious problems experienced by the submersible on expeditions carried out before the disaster. In 2021 and 2022, over the course of 13 dives to the Titanic, it had 118 equipment issues.

These included the front dome falling off when it was brought out of the sea, its thrusters failing at 3,500m down and, on one dive, its batteries dying and leaving passengers stuck inside for 27 hours.

WTF. That must have been absolutely horrible.

 

[Mobilemofo]

Stockton rush thought he knew best. He didn't. He ignored the safety warning about the carbon fibre shell weakening with every dive, hence why titanium was the preferred material. His ignorance cost lives.

I watched some fascinating videos about submarine implosions back when this happened. They said it’s like being inside the combustion chamber in a diesel engine. It compresses so hard and fast that anything combustible ignites. And it creates this fast oscillation between compressing/exploding that generate a characteristic sound they can use to identify underwater implosions.

Edit:
Around 1:30 you can see what I mean

 

[dave_d]

Here's one describing the physics behind the water with this sub.(Long story short for those that don't want to watch, the water is actually slightly compressed and it decompresses in a fraction of a second, going into the sub at hundreds of miles an hour.)

I noticed that the Navy were advertising for submariners earlier. I can imagine recruitment has got a bit tougher.

Meh, you earn extra pay for being underwater. The most dangerous thing are women on board.

They're doing a Netflix doc or movie about this right?

..or did I miss it and it's been out for months already

I've subbed to netflix for a bit to watch this documentary. I've seen a few documentaries so I'll be surprised if there's anything new in it.

A testimony from one of the Oceangate engineers on what he thinks happened.

 

[The Stig]

I watched the scottish chap give his testimony yesterday. He was trying to warn them from the very beginning. He showed you could shine light through the gaps in the layers of the carbon fiber (they filled those gaps with the stuff that Ford truck bedliners are made of). OSHA was supposedly giving him whistleblower protection but they were bloody useless. Oceangate threatened to counter sue him as well as threatening to contact immigration (he isnt a citizen) to try and get him to stop.

Oceangate were and are slime. I don't want like to speak ill of the dead but Fuck Stockton Rush.

edit - although he did kill 2 billionaires, there is that.

Good to hear that they probably died instantly and not suffered.

Care to elaborate?

Typical Reddit brainrot where if someone has more money than you they are your enemy by default and it is more than okay if (extreme) harm befalls them.

I’d watch a movie/show based on this, or at least the company. Dude was a fucking cowboy and took others with him.

My bad, I dont really mean that.

They found the other half of the wreckage, looks like:

*edit*

Nevermind, they found this a long time ago, the Coast Guard just released the image.
