Another thought what if all power died and just stuck in total darkness? How long do the batteries even last on that thing ?

Just can't stop thinking about different scenarios

The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.

The boat went dark,
Faded their hopes of reaching a shore.
As they laid quietly praying,
Hoping for rescue from the ocean floor.

Sorry to be picky but hydrostatic pressure tests are "at least 1.5 times the maximum working pressure". If you go too high, such as 2.5 times, then you actually risk stressing the material to the point it fails. 2.25 was probably done as it was still less than 90% of the weakest material's yield strstress

Don't apologise, hydrostatic pressure tests are not my forte, 2.5x is a standard safety factor for static mass testing for unknown materials within the medical device industry, its in their standards and so that's where I was (ignorantly) coming from..

It's the 19 year old son that I keep thinking of. The others have had a life. He hasn't yet. Yes he is an adult at 19 but it's doubtful he really knew enough about the risks to make an informed decision when offered the chance by his dad. It's sad to say but I do hope it imploded and they died instantly rather them being trapped down there in despair.

Yeh, I thought that, too.

I'm sure being a billionaire's son he's already done loads of things not accessible to most people at that age, but nineteen, had his whole life ahead of him, and that's been torn away from him.

It's what Charles Hoskinson has been saying, and there isn't a reason for him to lie. But who knows.

*swearies*

Perhaps one or two could survive longer by killing the others, more oxygen

Could it really just be a red herring meant to save the company another day?

Would fit with their business philosophy tbh.

Charles Hoskinson is to marine rescue, as what Elon Musk is to cave rescue.

That's what I was thinking, he looks like another cryptobro, does he have any credentials to support his claims? :confused:

DJMK4 · 21 Jun 2023 at 20:04

Have they said what will happen if it goes over the point where the is no oxygen left ? Are they still going to search and recover ? "If" they find anything ?

So summary is searches are currently going ahead around the area where the noises were heard and waiting for updates.

It's disappeared, what was the TLDR?

A lot of equipment isn't arriving until tomorrow, which means there'll be an incredibly small window to actually put the equipment to use even if they knew where the submersible is. Seems odd that they stood down the two British companies that were gathering necessary equipment over the past few days and could have been dispatched before the US equipment. Will be sad if the US's pride was put before accepting help from others.

I thought you liked isolationism?

Yeah the implosion and instant death scenario is by far the best one for those onboard.
