US billionaire plans submersible trip to Titanic wreck

The private submersible industry was shaken after the implosion of the OceanGate Titan sub last year.

I saw the headline and was like

But reading the article at least it sounds like this guy is going to be doing it properly.

Sounds exactly what James Cameron did back in the day: got folks that knew how to submarine to design, build and operate it.

Wheres the fun in that?

Surly if I got 2 bath tubs and welded the edges together I should be okay right?...I got a old Xbox controller, I mean it had savage stick drift but I mean It'll work.

It’s ok you can trim that out with old scaffold poles.

If the bath tubs are cast iron bath they will be difficult to weld. Riveting the two halves would be ok though.

It still astounds me that nobody thought to question the most basic flaw of the geometry that a cylinder has at those depths, even the most awful engineer ought to know it's spheres only after a point.

Nah I'm not going out to do that...*puts on glue gun*

Velcro or double sided sticky tape, jobs a good un.

It wasn't the shape, it was the choice of materials (carbon fibre) and durability.. it made the titanic depths 13 times (alledgedly)..

Of course, people choose spheres for a reason, but this guy would have still chosen carbon fibre and no doubt relied on his NDT acoustic sensors so you'd only know it was fatigue'd and about to go when it was all too late.

The reason he chose a cylinder was to allow groups of people to go in relative 'comfort'..

I know he was an idiot and it was a spectacular display of ignorance, but the fact it made so many dives whilst being constructed so 'wrongly' was actually quite impressive to me.

Saw a dumb meme the other day featuring shots of debris from the sub and it wasn't just bits of the sub it was human remains as well.... not a pretty sight. I mean the people who died had a lot of money so haha, right?

It's just how it is ever since the internet 4chanified.

Sick but surely that has to be fake, they would have been vapourised/liquidised at that pressure and those energy levels?

If it's the one i've seen then its very very fake
