This isn’t the Pub.I posted some they were removed. I thought there were on topic. Maybe should have posted them in the meme thread instead lol
Not sure if this guys understands how this works.![]()
Missing Titan sub likely intact but out of power, says expert who designed deepest-diving submersible
Engineer Ron Allum says missing tourist sub unlikely to have suffered a ‘catastrophic implosion’ but partial flooding could be preventing it from resurfacingwww.theguardian.com
Depends on who called them. If Oceangate did, they will be on the hook. If the coast guard did, you and I.So who pays for all the private commercial vessels roped in for the search and rescue effort? Surely it must be expensive with the fuel cost, energy, time and man-hours of private enterprises…
Not sure if this guys understands how this works. At depth, they can't be sitting in a 'half flooded hull'. If there is as much as a tiny pinhole, the inside of the hull would fill up even if the thing doesn't implode. “It also means that if the occupants are sitting in a half-flooded pressure hull, that could also be catastrophic. They could become hypothermic. I don’t know how well the CO2 scrubber systems would work if they’re wet.”
The lack of some form of EPIRB (can't find confirmation or not of whether the vessel has on anywhere) would be criminal negligence in my mind. If the sub ends up being found intact on the surface days (or weeks) later it would be unbelievably tragic.Those suits along with the simple $400 EPIRB I keep onboard could make the difference in any surface rescue scenario...
