It does have a toilet.
But food supplies, and I imagine water, were limited.
It was a Logitech G F710. Logitech’s stock took a dive (no pun intended) and there’s a healthy market for the gamepad at the moment.
This was actually the 5th trip the sub made.
They have limited supplies of water?
I heard 1 bottle of water and a sammich.
I find it ironic that a doomed vessel went toward the bottom of the ocean to visit a doomed ship.
Fitting if the vessle with the chewy nugat center was resting along side the Titanic.
Well, nothing seems to be working as far as we can tell. Do you suppose that any desalination system that they may have had is still working?
They didn’t expect to be down there for several days. They probably took water aboard.
That seems unfair. Logitech's product was never intended to control a submersible, so I don't see what happened as their fault.
I was just teasing you, because they are surrounded by water at 500 atmospheres.
So many foreseeable things that could go wrong and the guy took a maglev train through every one of those foreseeable things.
lmao!
The news organizations pushed the controller issue very early on with an utter disregard for all of the other safety issues. Logitech just got ran over in the process.
“and several such SMEs plus those who are in the carbon fiber fabrication industry have commented about the bad layup technique chosen.”
The cross layup is required with fabric that has single direction fibers. These rolls are manufactured with fiber patterns designed for particular uses.
I haven’t seen any of the comments you refer to.
I’m going to take a guess and say the CEO dispensed with safety concerns, because of money issues. It became a choice between not launching subs and losing his company or launch subs and try and correct problems along the way.
In my opinion, if I’m correct, he should have perhaps been more modest about what he could do. There is a lot to see when you go 1000 feet below the sea. He might have been able to generate a lot of business by being more realistic and still work on a sub that he could go 12,500 feet.
“where the atmospheres are about 100,000 times the surface.”
About 400x.

Yours is more accurate but his is more fabulous.
In my retelling of the story Ima make it 1,000,000
I’m aware that carbon fibre, while stronger than steel, can be prone to sheering if the forces against it goes against the grain. It probably wouldn’t have been my material of choice to use for structural purposes.
I admit to sometimes making napkin calculations and not worrying too much about accuracy. I may be Aspergers, but I’m not that Aspergers.
That’s the thing about carbon fiber. It looks fine to the naked eye one second and it disintegrates the next.
This doesn’t seem to have been ‘best tested’ equipment.
It’s true that the people made their choice and took their chances; but it doesn’t seem to have been a fully informed choice.
Even with cross-laid fabric strips, the pattern of layup is critical. Go over to Sub Brief’s review of the current situation and check the comments - you can also Google those comments and find articles making similar comments well prior to this incident.
