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??

So, the pressure in the escape pod is not changing as he ascends but he explodes anyway, despite there being no Delta P inside the escape pod.

Now, if he reached the surface and opened the hatch without decompressing, yes. A big mess.

Or perhaps I'm missing something.

I wonder what countries can do in the future to prevent this?

Since the voyage occurred in international waters, the only thing I could think of would be countries banning companies that have commercial vessels that aren't tested and certified from being on their soil/water?

It is true that he is absolutely full of himself. And he's a d-bag. I wonder about pretentious, though, because he has actually been actively involved with submersibles for decades now. He's even descended into the Mariana trench. I figure that when it comes to this type of event, he has a lot more practical experience and knowledge than large swathes of the population so I would listen to what he has to say. If he's talking about other matters, not so much.

I didn't get that same feeling watching the interview. Cameron has skins on the wall, so to speak, and knows what goes into the preparation for deep ocean dive.
I thought he was just being very forthright and truthful with is feeling and knowledge.

This is just all very sad and there are so many things that could've been handled differently and 5 people died as a result of someone's ambition causing them to compromise safety.
At the same time, it doesn't sound like the company made any secret of the risks involved. The waiver itself explicitly mentions death as a possibility multiple times. Along the lines of what DJLN has said, at some point, you have to let people accept the risks even if they're far above zero.

I don't see a compelling reason why any change is necessary, personally.

wouldn't you imagine that they were turned into crab patties and pretty much consumed by whatever creatures exist down there. I mean, I can't even imagine there was any structure left to their carcasses after implosion

I agree that the people that went on these voyages knew there was a significant risk, but I also don't believe OceanGate, from what I've read, was very honest about their relationships with NASA, the University of Washington, and Boeing.

Boeing flat-out said they never worked with OceanGate and UW said the only relationship was they let OceanGate use their facilities for testing (without any UW faculty present or having any input), and NASA saying they only recommended some inputs for the design and nothing else.

I could see how someone could say **** it if they believed OceanGate had meaningful relationships with reputable institutions and experts, but in this instance it seems that the summary of their relationships were either extrapolated or outright inaccurate.

This whole search costs $$$. And while it is purposeful to help people out in need, you can't just consistently spend time and $$$ to try to rescue people in dire conditions that are in a vessel that cut corners on safety regulations.

Yes, same with the Abyss implosion scene. I get that it's a movie, but it's always bugged me.

I remember watching that scene as a kid with one of my brothers. One who doesn't understand a thing about science/physics. I got punched in the head, again.
