The titanic vol. lost

[langfor5]

Yall telling me they used the same HAND tools I just used to tighten the blade on my lawn mower.

No disrespect to the dead but that wasn't a submarine they entered that was a coffin.

Amazon got them Logitech controllers on sale.

**** probably on an algorithm but someone needs to fix that

Y’all’s boy James Cameron knew it was a wrap on Monday

The people in charge of the search probably did too.

Just to give people another way to realize how much pressure you are under in the ocean. James Cameron said his sub SHRANK/COMPRESSED by 3 INCHES by the time he got to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. His was made of steel. Carbon fiber doing that will fail sooner or later.

The thing is, the folks who decided to sign up for these voyages (the ones that were previously successful and this one) weren't privy to the fact that hand ratchets or low-grade materials were used. These things typically don't reveal themselves until catastrophic events when everyone takes a deeper look. It's not really fair to say "See! They should have known!" because really only manufacturer's, in this case Rush, know that level of detail but even then he was able to pull this off successfully so that assuages the concerns of potential customers.

I am not familiar with the structure or the materials but as a few in here have mentioned, it was probably due to fatigue and damage from repeated missions. It's compounded if he was using the same vessel for missions of varying durations and the mission specifics not being repeatable/the same which makes it more difficult to accurately predict failure anyway. The calculation (CALCULATION, NOT EVEN TEST!!) about the remaining air was probably off as well.

On top of all the things that stand out, I can’t believe this vessel was continued to be used over and over again without testing/replacing parts. Like if the glass used to view out was on good for a certain depth and you continued to dive way beyond its capability it’s absolutely just a countdown until something goes terribly wrong.

My question is what was different this time around? I’ve read that they’ve made the trip about 25 times since the company has been in business.

When James Cameron was developing his sub to go to the Mariana trench, Richard Branson was also delvoping a sub to do the same and it was very similar to Oceangates sub. Carbon fiber cylindrical tube and he scrapped it after they realized it wouldn't stand up to the pressures repeatedly.

$tatus $ymbol - see the bolded below your quoted post. The Titan vessel is just like an automobile, aircraft, or any other transportation vehicle - it needs to undergo proper, thorough initial testing and analysis (which more than likely wasn't done) and after repeated missions inspections, part replacements, repairs, etc. are required which were also probably neglected. That could easily lead to a catastrophic failure if you haven't done the proper analysis or did it incorrectly. It is sad to say but if it didn't fail this time around, it would have eventually.

someone in that post said that's the same thing they use for airplanes

Apparently carbon fiber will faulter slowly over time and not show signs until complete failure. Unsure if true but that’s what I heard

 

[Iron Man]

wasted millions on a fake search and rescue mission when the experts already knew it was over from the beginning due to an implosion. guess it was a boring week for everyone, people sure do love drama and suspense

At that depth, search/recovery is a no-go right?

 

[jaypesoz]

At that depth, search/recovery is a no-go right?

I don't even think there'd be any purpose for all that. It's not like when a plane crashes and they rebuild the aircraft to find out what's wrong and find out ways to prevent it in the future. This "sub" was basically just a glorified DIY project from a rich dude.

 

[moonman818]

would parts of the vessel eventually float to the top?

I’m sure the bodies were legitimately boiled & juiced from the pressure.

Supposedly even if they found them - it would have been a very very lengthy process to get the vessel up to surface.

This basically an illustration of what happened to the Titan.

Yea I think most people think the sub exploded like a bomb when in reality it crushed like a soda can

 

[blacklion23]

What if the US Navy shot it down? Probably didn’t expect anything to be found…

 

[boxer15]

Just cause homeboy got vaporized doesn’t mean the accounts of his negligent company shouldn’t be seized. Then again, maybe that is why he based it out of the Caribbean.

This has to be trolling cause ain’t no way dawg lol

You are correct, but it's actually even worse than that. If what I have read is true, the composite material that the hull was made of would have made testing entirely irrelevant. Meaning even testing it couldn't prevent anything. Scary ****. Nobody would have signed up for that if they explained it that way prior to.

I am a bit confused. Are you saying that testing could not have been performed because it was composite or are you saying that if they did the proper testing with composite that it would have revealed this voyage was not feasible?

Just read duke bought the CF from Being at a discounted price cause it was passed its shelf life. Dude was wylin.
