Tourist submarine exploring Titanic wreckage disappears in Atlantic Ocean

Norm said:
Scuba diving they play games with water bottles or balloons to show you pressure changes at depth. fill a balloon with a little air at 60 feet, then watch it get really big as it comes up. .

I did the opposite when I used to swim at the pool. Take a fully inflated volleyball, hold it tight and jump into the deep end and swim to the bottom (12'?)
It's cool to see the ball collapsing in on itself. Based on that I figure that nothing would come up from the depth they were at, the pressure of the water would overcome any buoyancy, no?

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway:

When this thing imploded under the surface, would there be any physical detection of it happening on the surface?

I'm picturing bubbles floating to the surface, or something like that? Or, is it just a silent "crunch" and thats the end of it?

Not one bubble that far away I bet
 
What if, ya I know it’s a slim chance, but what if it sprang some fine leaks and they all got laser beamed to ribbons…slowly
 
Sooo, I guess recovering the bodies is out of question eh? Sprinkled fish food?

Kinda like one of those rotating water power washing nozzles?

Yeah, even at shallow depths like 30 feet, scuba divers breathing just kinda rolls the surface. It’s not big bubbles

You can still see this on the surface with divers over 100’ deep, I’ve seen it a bunch diving at lakes years ago

Yes, turbo nozzled to death

But highly unlikely it happened because debris field and this

No. Buoyancy is determined by the volume of water displaced and/or the density of the object. Anything able to retain it would float to the top, like oil or gasoline or some super-strong magical tennis ball (IOW, that could retain its shape at that pressure).

Once you would have a weakened place in the hull, you would have a cascading failure, instantaneously. While material thickness plays a part in the strength of the submersible, most of its strength is from the cylindrical shape. No stress risers. With a pinpoint leak, you now have stress risers that 6000psi can pinpoint on and further degrade. The speed at which it went from initial leak to degrade, to hull failure was fractions of a second. Theres just no room for error at 6000psi.

How is cf made? If their a chance air got trapped in the cf sheets as they were laminated?

From Jack Posobiec

HOLY SHLIT



The WSJ is reporting the US Navy detected the Titan implosion on Sunday but Biden held the news until today's whistleblower testimony on Hunter



The entire thing was a distraction op

But how could they not detect that implosion. Again the Biden family used anything they could as a distraction from the true crimes of the Biden Crime syndicate. The press will 100% give them a pass. Again Democrats using dead bodies to suite their needs.

What length of carbon fiber is needed (I don't know its thickness, maybe y'all have an idea) to wind a 5" thick cylinder 6 feet in diameter and 8 feet long?

And would it be autoclaved in stages as the thickness increased, or all at once? Can you autoclave a CF part that thick?

The fuselage of the 787 is filament wound the same way.
 
They had a hell of a ride. The cost of this rescue attempt must be staggering. When the inevitable books and movies of this story are sold, the proceeds should be used to reimburse those who worked to rescue the lost. We need them to be ready and willing next time people are lost.

4 people on board. Crew above knew what happened when it happened, days ago. Owner CEO guy knows he fucked up and is done and either
A) jumps overboard
B) skeedaddles to an island somewhere paying off the crew for silence.

Jumping overboard wasn’t really an option.

I’m not seeing a movie here. No hero, no survivors.

There will be a Netflix documentary about the company and it’s race to put profits over safety. That’s a guarantee.
 
Devils advocate question:

We don’t know who knew what and when right? Did the people on the support boat tell the coast guard what they knew? And CG said “they dead” no sense in rushing a body recovery mission.

Or do we think the boat manners lied about the pop they heard for whatever nefarious reason. False hope? Maybe we just lost comms and that weird noise we’ve never heard before wasn’t related?

I’ve called 911 requesting life flight and life flight is not what came. They wouldn’t dispatch the copter until a qualified person arrived on scene and said there was a chance at survival for an injured person. I called for a helicopter for a dead man. A sherif, and an ambulance showed up first and then called for a coroner to come pronounce a time of death and dead at the scene. I can totally see coast guard hearing the facts and deciding not to put people in danger over people who are already dead. That’s what they teach us in rescue training. Don’t become a secondary victim trying to recover a dead body.

So you're saying he wanted Al Giddings but hired Arse Sideways instead?

I'm saying he cut every corner he possibly could so it makes all the sense in the world that he'd hire the cheapest people he could that he thought could probably legitimately pull off the job then spin a PC sales pitch about how awesome these hires were and how innovative and progressive it makes him and his company.

It's not much of a secret if I've known about it for 20 years. :laughing:

Remember the story about the radio guy who had truckloads of feds come to his house and dig up the antenna he buried in his yard because it was interfering with submarine communications?
I think it was an art bell story so could be bs.
