The titanic vol. lost

Man I don’t care how quick it may have happened, they felt that 😧

Edit: Byford Dolphin Accident

I think theres stills of the aftermath. I swore there was a video also.
 
I dunno if I misheard the news, but I thought I heard them say it most likely happened the first few hrs after they lost contact/connection or whatever.
 
Another quip from the Byford thing I posted up top. That happened at only 500 ft down. The “bends” is when you go dive down and the nitrogen in your bloodstream “shrinks” due to the water pressure around you. If you go up too fast the nitrogen can expand too quickly causing pain and worst cause a heart attack. There was an error in the Byford accident that caused a hatch to remain open or not close properly something like that, and the pressure came in and well, they basically imploded from their insides from the nitrogen expanding way too fast.

Now imagine that 15,000 feet down.
 
so they were half way down when **** went south
Pending how quick the implosion took place, yeah. They lost complete contact after about a hour. So when they tried to release the floats after being warned there may be problem they probably were droppin too fast and already knocked out, or worse…
 
At the end of it. He basically said they got some warning the hull was compromised and they released the ballast to ascend back but it was too late
Makes sense.

Discussion on the material (carbon fiber) used to build the hull.



The accident would have been avoided with a steady testing regimen that would evaluate the condition of the sub after each dive.

And there's also this:

 
Here comes the damage control storm2006 storm2006 :lol:


Boeing says it was not a partner on the Titan, despite OceanGate's 2021 claim of relationship​

From CNN’s Celina Tebor

Boeing Wednesday said they were not a partner on the Titan and they did not design or build the submersible, according to a statement from the company.

“Boeing was not a partner on the Titan and did not design or build it,” the company said in a statement to CNN Wednesday evening.
OceanGate's claim: A 2021 news release from OceanGate lists Boeing as a partner and stated it provided “Design and engineering support” for the Titan submersible.

University of Washington was not involved in design, engineering or testing of Titan submersible, school says​

From CNN’s Celina Tebor

The University of Washington reiterated Wednesday that they were not involved in the design, engineering or testing of the Titan submersible, despite assertions that they were, according to a 2021 court filing by OceanGate.
“To clarify and expand upon yesterday’s statement, the University of Washington’s Applied Physics Laboratory initially signed a $5 million research collaborative agreement with OceanGate, but only $650,000 worth of work was completed before the two organizations parted ways,” University of Washington spokesperson Victor Balta said in a statement to CNN.
“That collaboration resulted in a steel-hulled vessel, named the Cyclops 1, that can travel to 500 meters depth, which is far shallower than the depths that OceanGate’s TITAN submersible traveled to. As stated earlier, the Laboratory was not involved in the design, engineering or testing of the TITAN submersible used in the RMS TITANIC expedition,” Balta added.
