This definitely sucks. Submarine lost.

Looks to me like One unintentional suicide, and 4 negligent manslaughters.
 
But,but,but......there's banging sounds.......
Water distorts and re routes sound. The banging could come from anywhere, possibly the Titanic herself.

I doubt you could bang on the inside of a composite capsule hard enough to be heard even if they did have a tool, a metal wrench or something to bang with, which I doubt.

Very cool documentary that will embed.

Cool about the Ship of Thebes. Interesting paradox.

for those not familiar:

You buy a brand new AI.

-You replace the stock.
then the barrel
then the trigger. and so on until eventually youve replace every part.

Now, is it the same AI you bought?

People on the surface and on dry land are attempting to move heaven and earth to save five men because they hear banging sounds. There's nothing wrong with that.

So where is the same concern for a baby in the mother's womb when a heart beat can be heard?

Okay, I've slipped into something flame retardant. So fire away.

Well the baby probably isn’t a Princeton billionaire. And not being used by genocidal leftists to cover up Bidens shit.

So… I can see the difference.

You are correct, the baby doesn't have a billion dollar bank account to reward rescuers with. However, The One who made dry land the air and the sea has placed a worth on the babies far more than gold and filthy lucre. So if He values that baby, I do as well. I just wish I had billions of dollars to save their lives.
 
And just for some light reading... This is how a DSV/DSRV is built properly.


Note that it is also for a crew of three highly-trained divers/submariners. Not for tourists. And even it had a couple of close calls.

Interesting reading. 2" titanium pressure sphere. I wonder if it was from the same load of titanium that the CIA conned out of the Soviets to build the SR71's. with. That was a great op, too! "We are making titanium Pizza Ovens in your socialist brother nation of Lesotho..." "Da, Comrade. We sell you Titanium." Ah ha ha ha haha. (Well, story goes something like that... )

Cheers,

I would say the DSV Limiting Factor is the gold standard these days. Been to Challenger Deep repeatedly, been to the deepest spots in all 5 oceans, postively ID'd the USS Johnson (at 20000 feet), found the USS Samuel B. Roberts at 22523 feet, and... was independantly certified to 14000 msw (45931.759 fsw) so good for 10000+ fsw deeper than the Challenger Deep aka it has a safety factor. Pressure vessel is a 90mm thick titanium sphere. Those portholes are no joke either! Still not getting in it.

Victor Vescovo. Has to be a bit of a loon but I respect the fact that "...Vescovo achieved the Explorers Grand Slam by reaching the North and South Poles and climbing the Seven Summits, and he then visited the deepest points of all of Earth's five oceans during the Five Deeps Expedition of 2018–2019."

Limiting Factor was purchased by Gabe Newell's Inkfish. He did a stint at MSFT and then bailed to co-found Valve and later Steam.

Is the front part with the window metal?
 
Wasn't there an old story about a wealthy man at sea with a lot of gold coins? The hull of the passenger ship had been breached and she was going down.

Prior to going to the life boats, he rushed to his cabin to retrieve as much of his gold coins that his pockets could hold.

When he got to the life boats they were all deployed and full of passengers. He could not get in the life boats full of people.

His only choice was to jump off the sinking ship. The gold coins in his pockets cost him his life.

Davy's locker. 5 souls enter. None leave.
Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.
 
Pay $250000 for the ultimate adventure.

I have a theory about this whole disappearance. I think they were swallowed my some sea monster that’s been down there chilling since the dawn of time. I bet they found the key to eternal life at the bottom of the sea. The same thing probably sunk the titanic. I bet it only comes up to feed…like never…thought the ship looked like some snack. I bet they’re just chilling inside of that prehistoric thing. Just sayin…Don’t threaten me with a good time. I prefer being under water. 🦑🦭🦈🌚
