Titanic tourist submersible goes missing with search under way

[boongus]

If only they were using this. They could have escaped from the inside.

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

As sturdy as these controllers are, an implosion at that depth turns everything inside into paste.

The only way a controller lays on the seafloor is if there was one somehow in the ballast that they apparently dropped *before* implosion (Cameron says that based on his discussions, they probably had some warning it was going to go fucky and they dumped ballast to try to rise, because the ballast was found off to the side instead of with the wreckage).

I give it 50/50 that these lazy fucks had the spare controllers strapped *outside the sub* because they're midwits.

Also I think it would be appropriate for it to become a bit of tradition for any ship traveling over the Titanic's resting place to drop a Logitech controller overboard in memeory.

Edit - Rush filed a patent Acoustic Real-time Monitoring System During descent, a computer sends acoustic pings to 20 sensors through the carbon-fiber hull, to detect weakness.

Alright. Suppose you could hear the walls of the sub creaking as you descend into the ocean and they can barely hold the weight you apply. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO IN THE ROUGHLY 3 MICROSECONDS BEFORE THE ENTIRE OCEAN FORCEFULLY ENTERS THE SUB? SPEND 2 HOURS GETTING BACK TO THE SURFACE?

NO, I SAY TO YOU. The time to check for this is on THE SURFACE, where you have a roughly ZERO percent chance of being crushed to death under the unbearable weight of the entire ocean, and you make sure it can withstand the pressure, and maybe a few dozen extra meters in case of something.

I just hope all of you who thought "they must have heard some spooky underwater ghost sounds/hull decompressions" reflected on how half-witted that notion was because now the "muh mathematical skullduggery" has escalated to whether it's milliseconds, nanoseconds, something about breakfast foods:

Fuck all of the people I had to hear IRL talk like this.

My working theory is that the whole thing became like the inside of a Diesel combustion chamber and then disintegrated into a charred mist of carbon and meat in the span of around 30 milliseconds or so.

Please don't ruin my fantasy bro.

Are the images of controller real?
View attachment 5177098

It looks like a real controller but it's not the one from the RMS Hubris Titan.
It's the wrong type of controller for a start (Also I'm not sure why people keep saying its an XBox controller, the layout is like a Playstation) and there's no light down there, this looks to have been taken in shallow water. There's a lot of junk in the Oceans, sadly.
One of the most cursed images I've ever seen was a picture of fucking plastic coomsoomer trash from the movie Frozen taken at the bottom of fucking Challenger Deep, the literal deepest Abyss on Earth.
That and footage of the fucking plastic scrap garbage island the size of fucking Rhode Island in the middle of the Pacific are enough to make anyone a misanthrope.

 

[Sithis]

Has anyone joked yet about how if they'd have used a PS5 controller they'd have felt the haptic feedback right before they got squished?

 

[Goofy Logic]

Engineering is slowly being infected by fucking awful silicon valley move-fast-and-break-things culture.

I think a fair bit of that is just the newer generations not knowing how to fight back against management. it used to be that experience was a virtue, but that focus was changed over to younger people because management found those unexpirienced people were easier to bully into doing their "vision".

 

[Corpun]

They've done over 20 dives with a sub the manufacturer only thought was meant for a single dive.
Repeated stress cycles + extreme cold + insane pressure are the worst things for carbon fiber.
Like Cameron said we use steel for a fucking reason.
It was only a matter of time before the thing imploded.
The fucking porthole was only rated to 1300 meters.
Titanic is 3800.
It's a miracle it lasted as long as it did.
This faggot took the RMS Diversity 3 times deeper than it ever should have gone and he did it more than 20 times more than he should. The only upside is he took a Globohomo Paki who made billions from slave labor with him to hell when his high tech carbon fiber coffin performed as expected.

So they just took it down and survived through dumb fucking luck. This whole thing is a massive shitshow and I'm honestly shocked they didn't die sooner.

So did any of the victims have anything to do with the prior safety issues, or is the whole "lol dead millionaires asking for it" just based on antiwork.

 

[Android raptor]

Not white guys but young white women who were young, naive and fresh out of the University of Washington. Looking at photos of the young women in his company it becomes clear why he hired them other than he can underpay them due to their inexperience. Not uncommon for billionaire horndogs to hire young and attractive women that they can eye hump while on the job. Saudi oil sheiks do that all the time.

Other than a few token women that I'm sure he hired to perv on, the group photo of the Oceangate staff seemed to be mostly white dudes.

There were a few women on the Deepsea Challenger team as well, but they looked older. Probably because they actually had years of experience in the field.

No, but they were absolute fucking idiots to get into that deathtrap.

Here's the waiver these retards had to sign before boarding the RMS Shitbox.

Steel is a material used by old white men. Carbon fiber is gender positive and BiPOC friendly!

Hey now, chewing gum and spit have been a time-honored ingredient in plenty of successful projects.

If that's true, we can't rule out Logitech as the main engine of their demise. If they were dropping ballast, they were descending too fast, which in theory could have happen with controller drift.

 

[Desu Mountain]

I watched another video about it from this guy. He calls it an insulting predictable failure.

I like that the guy calls out the idiots that claim the Logitech controller wasn't a major problem.

My two major questions is why didn't they get a flight stick or something to control the sub and if being a tourist attraction was the point of this why didn't they just purchase the submarines that have already made the journey successfully multiple times? At least they died quickly rather than suffocating for 15 minutes.

The CEO of OceanGate was a fucking narcissist and moron and was a techbro. Techbro thought he was smarter than everybody else and invented this submersible himself.

He wanted to do touristic expeditions to the Titanic and there are no deep-sea submersibles that can take on like 5 people. That's why his company built it. But the rest, like not asking a company who knows what it's doing or getting his shit certified by the ABS or buying leftover carbon fiber, Boeing deemed over shelf life, is on him. And he got warned multiple times, but he thought he was the Elon Musk of the deep sea so he laughed all those off.

I bet he thought he was the modern Bill Gates for using a 30$ Logitech controller instead of an "unnecessary expensive" controller.
