Found already?

 

[Rogue Trader]

Please hurry up and rescue them.

Got 2 ah nehs on board. How other 3 guys can tahan their BO? It must surely be miserable death

I think most likely there was a leak and the whole submersible is now at the bottom of the ocean together with the Titanic. God Bless Them.

As I've predicted, it must have sprung a leak and then the sudden inrush of extremely high pressure water caused the structure of the whole submersible to collapse and implode.

The owner and designer of the submersible are to be blamed. Anyway, the former had already paid with his life. It is entirely wrong to construct this damned submersible using carbon fiber. Carbon fiber may be tauted to be stronger than steel, but it is also very brittle and allows no tolerance for deformation. A very slight flaw will cause it to crack and break away. Vessels being subjected to such high underwater pressure must definitely be made of at least 12.5mm (half inch) thick titanium steel.

Anyway, those 1,500 souls must be criticizing: "KNN, we 1,500 souls had a very tragic death and you fuckers are now making this watery grave of ours an amusement park-cum-circus site. Totally no respect for us at all. So, whoever comes for such purposes will perish together with us."

My bicycle rims are carbon fiber. OK ot not?

My bicycle rims are carbon fiber. OK ot not?

Should you go into a large enough pothole, it may break, unless you are a feather weight person.

I too have a full carbon fiber bicycle, but my rims are still the SHIMANO double-walled aluminium alloy. Carbon fiber rims should preferably use only disc brakes, which are more costly and higher maintenance than those normal caliper brakes.

I find the rigidity of my carbon fiber bicycle's frame too weak. Thinking of changing to a titanium frame for my next ride.

I bet the Rolex submariner they are wearing is still ticking like normal.

Apparent the DIY-submarine CEO Stockton Rush was bent on sending his clients on a suicide tour according to this email with a submersible operation expert Rob McCallum.

The CEO trying to prove to the world that innovation without traditional safety approach can be the first commercial sub to reach titanic?
Actually he could be right, but just not able to make it back to surface.

news reported 5 pax on board, 1 crew, 1 guide and 3 guests

- "experimental" vessel, "that has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body, and could result in physical injury, disability, emotional trauma or death".
- the vessel only has one button and is run using a video game controller.

Sounds like mRNA vaccine.

The high acceptance rate of mRNA vaccine must have emboldened him.

The biggest joke is that the submersible was actually controlled by a fucking Xbox controller. For all you know the tragedy might have been caused by a fucking buggy device driver....

Could be out of battery.

Could be out of battery.

Could be controller spoilt. After all it is just a cheap plastic joystick for game consoles, and not specially designed for industrial operations such as this.

See how ridiculously amateur-looking the whole sub is. Everything looks like it was DIY by some poly students for their final-year project. Those millionaires must be out of their fucking minds to travel 4km deep in this toy!

TikTokers are reeling over an OceanGate job posting advertising an 'immediate opening' for a submersible pilot​

• TikTokers are calling out a job posting from OceanGate, the company behind the Titan submersible.
• The deep-sea watercraft was found in pieces Thursday after setting on its voyage last weekend.
• The company's job posting asks for a committed candidate with a sense of humor.

TikTokers are roasting an OceanGate job posting advertising an "immediate opening" for a submersible pilot.

OceanGate is the company behind the Titan submersible that was found in pieces on Thursday after going missing during a deep-sea tour of the Titanic ship wreckage. The sub had five people on board, including OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush.

The job posting, featured on OceanGate's website and Indeed this week, said the company was looking for "a committed and competent individual with combination of strong mechanical and interpersonal skills who can work on sensitive marine equipment, perform regular maintenance and operate complex systems to support dive operations."

The posting also asked for candidates who can work in a confined space, fit through a 28-inch diameter ring, and is "positive and energetic with [a] good sense of humor."

It's unclear when the posting was initially published. On the job-search site Indeed, the posting was accepting applicants as recently as Friday morning. Hours later, however, a message appeared saying the listing had expired — meaning the employer was either no longer hiring or not accepting more applications.

An OceanGate spokesperson did not immediately respond to Insider request for comment. The Seattle Times reported late Thursday that the company's main office closed indefinitely.

TikTokers are roasting the job posting online, with users commenting, "This literally proves what everyone says about companies filling your position the second you die" and saying it "really shows you everyone is replaceable." (It's likely the job was posted prior to the Titan tragedy, however).

Since the Titan's passengers lost contact with a Canadian research vessel on Sunday, it has been reported that company leadership was warned about safety issues with the watercraft but dodged safety rules and generally evaded standards-checks that didn't yet exist because of its "innovation." Rush was quoted in a 2021 interview saying he knew he had "broken some rules" making the submersible.

There can be sudden and swift changes of current surrounding the sunken Titanic. Such instances can cause whatever small subs to be thrown off-course uncontrollably and smash against anything along its path.

It had happened once to a research Russian sub where it hit the propeller of the sunken Titanic. Fortunately, the propeller was already badly decayed and parts of its debris became loose and dislodged, enabling the pilot to eventually free itself and all aboard were safe.

It looks fine to me. Of course things go wrong once in a while as is the case with all aspects of life. The fact that many successful dives took place before this one failed proves that the design can work. It just needs a few tweaks to make the next iteration safer and life goes on for the rest of us till something goes wrong again.

Bloviating here is pointless. Prove your confidence by taking the trip yourself.

Existing carbon fibre technology is still unable to fabricate perfect composite structure and has a lot of porousity issues.

Composite material tend to be sensitive to heat and moisture under prolong repeated exposure... Lifetime is not good
