That’s my take on the matter …

It’s times like these I realise that the world isn’t as ****ed as it first seems
We still all have our moral compass deep down.

Until the facilitating criminal gangs are stopped, migrants will be constantly dying while trying to cross bodies of water.

Its not

Its the hierarchy of death

its natural and has always been thus

[LaLaLand]

Imploding is a much "better" (for want of a better word) way to go than slowly suffocating to death which was the alternative. They probably didn't know much about what happened considering the pressure down there... RIP to them.

Hopefully this is a lesson to everyone not to do anything like this. Just ridiculously dangerous and flawed.

Sad to hear the son didnt want to go , his father convinced him. So sad but i think the outcome will be the vessel was unfit for purpose. It went down without proper checks and every time it went down it got weaker , it was totally not up to it.

I wonder where the tapping came from.

The ocean is a big place. All sorts of weird noises. If you've got a stream of sounds, you can Rorschach your way into thinking they include almost anything.

Amazon has begun moderating the reviews section of the now infamous games controller used to control the missing Titan sub.

As news of the missing sub spread earlier this week, bad taste reviews began to appear on the shopping giant’s page for the Logitech F710 controller.

Users posted about the controller "not being good at steering a submarine" and "losing signal in the ocean".

Before the fate of the crew aboard the sub became clear, the posts received hundreds of approvals from other shoppers and some were made into viral TikTok videos.

Amazon has started deleting the reviews as it’s understood they do not comply with community guidelines.

The Logitech F710 controller is a popular games console accessory which wirelessly connects to gaming consoles and PCs.

The relatively cheap £33 ($42) controller has become a focal point of the technology on the Titan since videos of the company CEO using it were posted online.

migrants dying in boats happens every week. The sub was a one off event. That's the difference

Pretty much. Drawing comparisons is pretty pointless really.

I know which one I think deserved more news coverage...

indeed and it has been the first catastrophe of this nature in a long time

[Oliver_W]

I'd love to explore the Titanic tbh

When that guy on the C5 thing last night was showing pictures from his dive, my first thought was, how could you leave those dinner plates?! I'd take one and eat every meal off it.

they reckon the tapping came from one of the rescue boats

[UserSince2005]

I think the tapping was Jack banging some random ghost broad.

was it metal fatigue? caused by bad maintenance


or something more sinister, a bomb?



i really watch too much Air Crash Investigation, i'm really in my own investigators mood now


if i were one of those investigators i wanna take a look at the maintenance logs of the vessel, because this one made more trips down there

[bots]

it was a carbon fibre capsule which requires constant monitoring of its integrity

It was basically a micky mouse outfit that was not subject to any meaningful regulation. If they had been regulated, they would never have been allowed to operate

Sadly True.

yeah Bots, but carbon fibre is basically used for a lot of things, not just this capsule but also planes


what investigators now need to look for, is how much stress was on this capsule with every single dive leading up to this fatal one


+ was there something done differently this time around, and we know they use video game controllers to operate that capsule, was the one operating this on this fatal journey qualified enough


like with planes, they also need serious maintenance work after and before every flight, and yes some maintenance crew do cut some corners out of budget concerns etc, same with Alaska Airlines one who plunged into the ocean near california, after the tail came off and damaged the aircraft massively, also with metal fatigue as main cause

[user104658]

Planes and submarines aren't really comparable, planes are pressurised inside and yes it's a disaster for passengers if it depressurise (because they need oxygen...) but the external pressure is less than internal and the difference isn't actually huge.

The water pressure forces when submerged deep are huge. Unimaginable really. Thousands of PSI. Such huge pressure that when the air gets compressed (in a split second) it also heats up to unimaginable temperatures.

Id say again that it's somewhat a blessing that this is what happened rather than them being trapped to suffocate in the dark. Truly the stuff of horror movies there. This? They would have been dead before they even knew there was a problem. Literally one of the quickest deaths possible.
