The US Navy and others, I’m sure, have listening devices planted all along the sea floors to keep track of underwater traffic noises.
That’s your guess. My guess is that with the “peace dividend” and the presidencies of Clinton, Obama and Biden a lot of things were turned off.
Hey, I get mad at the fences they erect near cliffs. The hatches that are welded shut on vehicles in museums really gripe my butt.
When reading about the thresher, it was described as being in a shotgun barrel. Thankfully for these poor people they wouldn’t have time to even blink.
I used gross approximations. It you use .444444 PSI per foot instead of .5 PSI, you get 5777.8 PSI the easy way.
For sea water, each 33’ of depth is 1ATM or 14.7psi.
Take 14.7 / 33, you have .4454545454 PSI per foot.
I carried a higher precision in my constants than you.
If it automatically surfaced and they lost comm, they are as gone as if it imploded 13k feet down....and submersible may not be found for years - on the surface.
Clearly not enough redundancy back-up systems in many areas......
I suspect they are goners - if not now, soon..........
The headline says it has emerged. Last I heard it had not emerged. So, which is correct?
Wonder if someone forgot to bring extra batteries for the game controller.
Or maybe the new intern figured if he threw in the solar charger for said batteries they could minimize their carbon footprint for this trip?
