Tourist(s) missing in submarine while trying to reach the Titannic
https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/u-s-coa...-sub-1.6446841


Quote:
A search and rescue operation is currently underway to locate a submarine that went missing during an expedition to the Titanic.
The U.S. Coast Guard was looking for the submarine Monday morning after it disappeared during the expedition from St. John's, N.L. The infamous 1912 wreck is located more than 600 kilometres southeast of the province in the North Atlantic Ocean.
The trip to the Titanic was being run by OceanGate Expeditions, a U.S.-based company. It uses a five-person submersible named Titan to reach the wreckage 3,800 metres below the surface. OceanGate's website advertises a seven-night voyage to the Titanic for US$250,000 per person, or approximately CA$330,000.
"We are exploring and mobilizing all options to bring the crew back safely," an OceanGate spokesperson said in an email to CTV News. "Our entire focus is on the crewmembers in the submersible and their families."


Those tours are a series of five eight-day missions to the Titanic with the money raised by tourists going towards Titanic research. Posts on social media show the ship launched from the St. John's area last week.

Did they really have 5 people in this?? Or do they have a larger version??

They didn't bring emergency ANYTHING. Maybe some emergency snacks.

I don’t think they could blow the hatch from inside anyway. It was all bolted in from outside, from what little I know of this submersible. It’s more likely they hit the thermacline and it was catastrophically breached due to a defect somewhere.

We'll never know, but I wonder if they had any warning at all. With those pressures, I can see it going from "everything's fine" to "squished" in milliseconds. At least it seems like they wouldn't have suffered much this way.

Nope, they couldn't blow the hatch. They were bolted in.

One of the reporters at the end asked "are the bodies going to be recovered?" Really?

Nope, pretty much instantaneous

Oh don't get me wrong - CP isn't real life at all.

I have no compunction with the pile-on at CP. That's what we do and I'm proud to be a part of it.

But the social media celebrating is a bit much...

There aren't really separate bodies at this point. Just a compressed lump of mush. They might be able to find DNA traces if they bring the craft to the surface.

I just hope nobody is lost retrieving whatever is left of them. That would be a real tragedy. As it stands right now, this whole mess is just the billionaire edition of play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

James Cameron, who does know a thing or two about submersibles and ocean depth, depicted an implosion in The Abyss. It's from Hollywood but still ....

I'm not sure people fully appreciate how extreme the pressures are we're talking about here. It's somewhere around 400 atmospheres, so about 400x the pressure we're used to. Or in psi, it would be about 6,000 psi. Even calling it "mush" is probably being generous.

Journalists have a large ‘Ron Burgundy’ level of thinking in them.
