Submarine tour of the Titanic goes missing

[NHT3]

Never ceases to amaze me the number of people that have hundreds of thousands of dollars "disposable income" to go on jaunts like this. What next, tours of the ruins in Ukraine? I pray the people are ok but it's starting to look pretty bleak.

People with that kind of disposable incomes often get bored with the mundane things us poors can afford to do to get a thrill. Skydiving, base jumping, etc. They did all that s**t before the made real $$$. Now they have to up the danger level to even move their needle.

Wasn't the story, that he was separated from his superiors, and that caused him to have problems?
Cause, that's kinda BS. SEALS operate away from their superiors on a regular basis.
Or maybe I'm thinking of the wrong movie.

Lt. Coffey (Navy Seal Leader) went crazy due to some sort of pressure induced psychosis that affects 1-20 people that go to the rig. Still is probably movie BS, but you know more about that stuff than I do. God willing I would never be anywhere near that far below the water.

I thought the scenes where the female protagonist purposely drowns herself, or when Ed Harrison breathes that liquid oxygen stuff was harder to watch than the bad guy imploding in a sub.

I sure could think of a lot of others things to be be doing if had that kind of disposable income.

Back in the cold war I believe we had a lot of the Atlantic well monitored. I would think that if it imploded that would be on a hydrophone somewhere. Act is more knowledgeable on this so I'll be interested in his assessment.

Simmer down. Dont go giving him a big head.

when Ed Harrison breathes that liquid oxygen stuff

This actually exists and is being used in medicine. It is a perfluorocarbon liquid that is breathable and where drugs in solution can be directly administered to the lungs. It requires mechanical breathing assistance though.

Neet stuff.

Another USCG press conference. Nothing really new. A pipe laying ship is on site with ROVs but they can't dive deep enough to inspect the bottom. They're diving to search anyway. Sonobuoy use confirmed. Air search continuing.

Man, I can't be standing when I watch that scene or read that article. My knees just want to buckle. What's the phobia for for breathing liquid oxygen?

 

[BugI02]

That would be a horrific way to go. Of all the ways I wouldn't want to die, drowning (or being crushed by the water pressure) and burning are at the top of my list.

At those depths a catastrophic failure of the hull would be over before you knew it

They had 96 hrs of air according to the operator. Worse than drowning would be a systems failure that wouldn't let you surface and having 94 hours to think about that

One story I heard stated the multiple ballast release methods on the sub included a passive one where 16 hours in sea water would "erode" the clamps, drooping the weight.

So I suspect a debris field may be found someday.

And I suspect that 96 hours is with a crew of calm, seasoned divers. I suspect the duration is a fraction of that once the passengers start flipping out, yelling, hyperventilating, etc.

He's currently 0 for 2 out of three falls with his technology

One ballast method is hung on the sides of the vessel and will roll off if everyone inside moves to one side and tilts it. Seriously.

Seems very unlikely they're just sitting on the bottom with no comms.

Sank on the way to see a sunken ship.

Wow, that guy pulls no punches.

My knowledge is a bit outdated.

And it's not like they're gonna notify some "has been" or "useta mattter"

Yup. That was pretty bad

I think it was also a "very secret" thing being done by government divers .
