Expensive way to join the Titanic dead

And...
That game controller is a piece whale do-do.

Hold my ballast weight and watch this!

Reports say the Canadians detected “banging” noises this morning. I didn’t know there was a woman aboard.

Back before the one engineer quit due to safety concerns, the company had built a 1/3rd model to have tested.
The results showed that it would suffer cyclic failures...
The CEO buried this info, and went ahead with the full size version.
So, it lasted almost 5 'cycles'...

As Bones would say, "They're dead Jim".

That thing imploded.
Hope they find what ship in the area is having a piece of machinery develop a knock every half hour.

Engineering nerd time: Ahh - the good old Wöhler Curve. It's something I deal with at work frequently. You can do an FEA analysis, decide everything is strong enough, and the thing can break anyway. I believe it was discovered because of train axles breaking.

Hey, if you're gonna cut corners, cut 'em hard.

If "subdued" properly, could also make the air last longer.

And provide a snack to while away the hours.

I have no idea how they got on there. I would have died from claustrophobia. I can't even stand in a tanning bed. Aren't no way somebody is bolting that thing closed with me in there!

Facing imminent death, there’s always someone who would “bang anything that moves” while everyone else tries to remain perfectly still

Easy does it bud, that last can cost $1 Mil to fill

(4 x bait @ $1/4 Mil each, and you got 2 extra for father's day discount)

A tourist sub engineered by diversity hires…what could possibly go wrong?

Lol I couldn't tell by the lack of redundancy, let alone critical systems (GPS locator for when they surface? sonar ping?). Very innovative

I feel for the passengers but no tears for mr.diversity. Maybe those old 50 year old white guys who were submariners know a thing or two about subs. What a retard.

Take a look at these crackers working on James Cameron's vehicle for the deep sea: http://www.deepseachallenge.com/the-sub/systems-technology/

Yeah, the more I read about how that thing was cobbled together (and all the concerns that were dismissed and covered up...or simply untested so they wouldn't find out about them), the more certain I am that it imploded. At least it would be a quick way to go - before you even know there's a problem.

The guy was who fired discovered that the viewport at the forward part of the sub was only built to a certified pressure of 1,300 meters, although it was to take passengers down to depths of 4,000 meters. He learned that the viewport manufacturer would only certify to a depth of 1,300 meters due to the experimental design of the viewport supplied by OceanGate, which was out of the Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy standards. OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters.

Gotta hand it to the titanic, over 110 years later the pools still got water and it's stil stacking bodies

This submersible seems to have been designed, built and operated by democraps.
What a cluster.

People are saying that our sub detection sensors would have detected a hull crush, and there was none, but....

I wondered how much water would pass through a small leak at that (5300 psig).
The first calculator I come up with wouldn't go above 3100 psig, and even then it was 245 gallons per hour.
If they weren't crushed, they were drown within 3 hours at the longest.
If the leak was at the seal, the water at that pressure would have eaten through it, within minutes
Not to mention that if anyone tried to pot their hand over the leak, they probably lost it (water jet cutting can be a bitch).

At the pressure which contact was lost, the compression in the cabin would burn them and kill them instantly. Look up the Byford diving bell incident.

Yep, life altering...

Brit tabloid, so grain of salt, but they touched down on the bow? My understanding was that was a big no-no, but i don't think the CEO is too worried about that right now...
