This definitely sucks. Submarine lost.

There was also a lot of creaking and crackling being reported before it blew. They knew they were goners.

i guess you 2 karens have never flown on an airplane either or you would be in terror most of the trip

Planes never bothered me. But flying to New Jersey in 2005 was a bit tense for me because of 9/11. I promised myself that if a swarthy individual was to stand up and holler all a who snack bar or even just looked cross-eyed, I was going to see to it that he got off the plane in a body bag WHEN we safely land.

Nothing happened flying to NJ and back. On take off from Newark Intl., the plane has to bank hard right over the Hudson because of noise abatement rules. So, for a brief moment, I could look out the window to my right and see Manhattan. That was cool. By the time the plane was level and rising, we were into Pennsylvania.

Planes are built to flex and bend. Deep diving subs are not.

 

[hlee]

I’ve flown more than many. Planes make a lot of noises. I would describe none of them as creaking, cracking, or groaning.

 

[Im2bent]

Also the funk in that sub was probably off the charts

 

[GreenGO Juan]

Nearly 1100 bars of pressure/16000psi.

Where as Fl400 is around 2 3/4psi from 14.7 at sea level.

Not ever in close in comparison.

No doubt. Everyone had to be exhibiting the smell of fear.

And this is why I refer fed agents and fbi flops as Keystone Kops. Which is probably an unfair comparison to Keystone Kops. Especially the actors portraying them with such precision.

We watch TV and expect Criminal Minds or FBI and we get McNamara's Morons.

I searched and I don't think anyone actually posted it in here. So, I must.

I am old enough to remember when my mom had a hairdo like that. As opposed to my grandmother, who preferred a tight perm.

Willing compliance sometimes was a function of the alcohol consumed.

the world is going to roll me.
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.

She was looking kind of dumb
With her finger and thumb
in the shape of an 'L' on her forehead..."

Is it true this thing was glued together?

 

[Threadcutter308]

Is it true this thing was glued together?

The Titanium End Bells were glued onto the Carbon Fiber "hull" (or vis versa, depending on how you wanted to look at it). There were recesses machined into the Titanium where the Carbon Fiber fit into. Glue was introduced into the recesses to "fill the void".

The gluing process is shown in some of the construction videos on youtube.

 

[NoDopes]

"was" I see what you did there.

Who coulda known that materials with different compression rates would have issues staying together.

Along with skipping post dive and post crash inspections
