Expensive way to join the Titanic dead

[zackmars]

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?

A squid told me a good submarine will go down.


A  great submarine will come back up

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.

Sounds like woke equity caused a lot of trouble, no 50 year old white guys etc. obviously professionals in their field weren't diverse enough

We need 3 things, Alec Baldwin, a DSRV, and a 1911. He'll get em back

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.

That's bad sop

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.

I read about previous trips one where the sub was trapped under part of the Titanic. The clients on this trip should have done better research as obviously it is extremely dangerous. Also said there were issues with the sub before this expedition.

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.

Maybe worse than the design, it appears that the company is also poorly run. They said today that. after losing contact, it took them six hours to notify authorities to get help. If I were in that tiny thing, running short on air, I might like to have six hours back.

I declines being a squid in 62.

Assuming they weren't Byford'ed the second they lost contact.

That front window apparently flexes (flexed) up to a quarter inch on previous dives. No way those guys are alive.

But then he would accidentally shoot them.

I don't claim to be the smartest guy in the room, but it sure seems that it would have been wise to attach a tether with comms capability to the submersible. It was planned to descend to a depth of 3800m. You mean to tell me they couldn't afford a 5km or so long length of cable? Heck the cable doesn't even need to be able to lift the vessel, being able to talk, get telemetry, and locate would have been a game changer.

Pretty much proves that you don’t need brains to be a billionaire

He specifically didn't want that so the mothership couldn't bug him for status updates.

Then you turn off the receiver until YOU want to talk to the support ship. That's a dumb-ass decision.

And a decision made by a dumbass.

I'm sure if he had hired a 50 year old white guy, he could have told him that

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!

Wait a minute what's this about a tanning bed? You're going to need to explain this.
