If fired employee’s story is true, very ominous.
What I don’t understand is why the Sub did not have an Airplane style
pinger. Capable of holding up to the pressure at that depth.
Regardless if Sub imploded.
My understanding is that it did not have an Airplane Style Pinger.
The company mouthpiece said early on that Titan did have a pinger beacon that would work automatically in case of an accident. But it seems to work so good that it’s now hiding out somewhere in the North Atlantic. Same genius also said the tub would automatically float to the surface in case of a failure. Yup, says right here-—
One thing is dam sure: They will find it since it will be a hazard to navigation forever, otherwise, being in the exact same place where the Titanic hit an iceberg. It’s big enough, and dense enough, such that hitting it near the surface would do serious damage to a commercial ship——this being an active shipping lane and all.
Curiously, one of the fastest ways to find it would be to sic one of our fast attack subs after it. Their sonar arrays, built for traveling under the ice pack, can zero in on anything that doesn’t belong there, and they could do it quickly. Sending down punkass ROV’s that can see a few yards might take the rest of the century.
Unfortunate your ignorance on this subject.
“Airplane style pinger” Dumb. Do you mean a locater beacon ?
Do you have a half wit that even if the ‘rescurers’ knew down to the inch, ain’t gonna happen ?
An airplane style pinger that could handle pressure at depths cost a lot of money. This was a cheapskate operation. The tin can was driven by an X-Box controller and the grab bars were purchased at Camper’s World. This thing looks like something a high school kid built in his dad’s garage.
