Expensive way to join the Titanic dead

[Renegade]

The US Navy is sending subject matter experts and a “Flyaway Deep Ocean Salvage System” that can lift heavy undersea objects to assist in the search and rescue, a spokesperson said Tuesday

Copy pasta.

That is what prompted my question.

So it is unlikely if it had been found underwater, no rescue would have been possible as it was not on scene, might not yet be on scene.

I think there's at least one O&G ship, the Deep Energy? Thats on scene. It has very impressive ROV and lift capabilities. It should be able to recover the vessel

2.5 to 3 miles of heavy cable?

Google says it's rovs can operate almost 2 miles down. Close but not quite.

well at least the folks in the USS Thresher and the USS Scorpion will have some dinner guests

The only hatch is the front window. Sealed from the outside by 17 bolts.

Whole thing sounds like it was designed by japan at the end of ww2, a kamakazi submarine.

The stupid just keeps on coming...

Yeah. Only way to get them out would be to bring the thing to the surface. But I'll be amazed if it's still intact. My money is on implosion.

Well they weren't notified till 8 hrs after communications were lost. What the hell is the matter with those on the support ship.

They were waiting on the comms down sop i believe which is for the coffin to start slowly back to the surface. When they didn't in a certain time frame they ran up the oh shit flag.

Who knew the emergency back up come plan is a 5 lbs sledge beating on the hull hoping the underwater sub detection net could hear them.

Apparently loss of communication wasn't unusual...but eight hours seems a bit much to wait. The whole operation is looking more and more slipshod the more light is shined on it.

I'm going to hazzard a guess and say the CEO is a real prick. He doesn't like being shown up or corrected (he fired the safety guy and won't hire retired US Navy personnel) he put limited text only comms in the sub so the mothership would stop bugging him, he brags about breaking rules and operating outside safety regs, and has resumed dives even after starting aborts.

He's not just stupid, he also has a big ego and too much money.

A 5lb sledge? Pfft. Who needs that when you got 3 perfectly bad Xbox controllers?

You can't fix stupid but it appears you can stop it.

I'm sure if he had at least a few old hands, and not just a bunch of kids running things, comms would be better and the CG would've been called sooner.

Can't fix stupid, but it sometimes comes with a very high price tag.

Well, he sure showed them, didn't he...

A few old hands? All they'd do is contradict the boss and tell him his junky submersible is a deathtrap. Who needs that kind of negativity?

 

[Tex62]

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

Just think of all the advances coming!

Medicine that kills!

Airplanes that crack up in midair.

The grid going kurplunk.

Appliances that spontaneously combust.

Lab grown meet that gives you a third eyeball.

Can’t wait to see what the new diversified science and engineering bring!

Well, this makes you wonder about NASA's judgement and quality control...

Missing Titanic submersible built with NASA help

Engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama lent their expertise.

Awesome. Seems we peaked in the 70s.

I've worked with a few former sub crew members and I understand why he didn't want them.
They were intelligent, motivated and had excellent work ethics. Their former Admiral hired them at General Electric for these reasons. Work or play, they did it at 125%.
