Titanic submersible confirmed destroyed with loss of all five souls onboard.

No pressure in space , its basically a vacuum

You know what I meant!

Ill go with what I said earlier then sadly poor maintenance.

Should never be allowed to go down there in the state it in.

Feel worst for the 19 year old. Probably just trusted his dad...

Tbh I feel bad for all of them but do we know the dad dragged him along? I wonder if it was the kid who wanted to see it. All three of my nephews built at least one Titanic model when there were younger and are/were fascinated by it.

News update on live right now just said they have had word that some of the debris are the supporting parts of the submersible, not the hull itself, but the parts that connect to it...

i doubt they will find the hull , maybe piece of whats left of it but at that pressure i doubt there will be much left if anything looking at 400bar or 5800psi kind of pressure

Does it literally disintegrate or are you left with chunks of the hull?

I bet they'd put out a different statement if this was some successful mission :s

Given NASA's achievements, I highly doubt they go around identifying glory hunting opportunities for randoms sinking aeroplanes.

I had some idea that it would be squashed like a pancake

Whatever failed was large because it blew pieces off the sub. Pure guess, but I suspect the carbon fibre hull collapsed. That would be a major implosion, like placing a hand grenade inside it. There would pieces all over the place. The only consolation is that the larger the implosion, the less they knew about it.

Explorers club just said the debris is parts of the sub so that's that then

 

[Spacedeck]

Well R.I.P to those who lost there lives. Atleast it was quick and they wouldn't even have known what happened.

"Landing frame and a rear cover from the submersible' among the debris"

"Landing frame and a rear cover from the submersible' among the debris"

Yea seems pretty conclusive. Will see what they say duirng the press conference.

 

[antijoke]

Morbid curiosity but will they show the debris field in the press conference?

They did, that is true.

A few other questions:

• How many dives was it rated for?
• What depth was it rated for?
• Was it rated for salt water?
• Did NASA know what it was going to be used for?
• NASA only helped, but to what extent? Did they give him a blueprint and go "build this, y'all be reet m8"?
• Was any other part of the sub rated for any of these depths? (the window was rated to 1300m or something silly, this much has been proven)

The One is rather vividly demonstrating his lack of understanding of engineering here tbh.

considering its a small carbon fibre hull at that depth i doubt there is anything left of it , the people inside would have been dead before they even knew what happened , they would not of suffered and would have been over in a millisecond

Who's to know that they didn't lose power, drop like a stone (it weighs 10ton) and then hit rocks at the bottom causing a breach and then imploding.

The sub may have been fine outside this event

Why did I assume the debris field was floating

I think eventually the footage will be released but it won't be shown so soon

One of the news people did say that the debris is on the surface but he meant the sea bed not the surface of the water .
