Now please, troll, sod off.

A Canadian military surveillance aircraft detected underwater noises as a massive search continued early Wednesday in a remote part of the North Atlantic for a submersible that vanished while taking five people down to the wreck of the Titanic.
A statement from the U.S. Coast Guard did not elaborate on what rescuers believed the noises could be, though it offered a glimmer of hope for those lost abroad the Titan as estimates suggest as little as a day's worth of oxygen could be left if the vessel is still functioning.
Meanwhile, questions remain about how teams could reach the lost submersible, which could be as deep as about 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) below the surface near the watery tomb of the historic ocean liner. Newly uncovered allegations also suggest there had been significant warnings made about vessel safety during its development.

You are very brave to pronounce your sweeping disapproval from the comfort of your home computer. Bravo!
You know, I don’t know what’s wrong with you today.
You’re just being a nasty, hateful person for absolutely no reason.
As I recall, you’re on hurricane threads worried about those.
Somebody points out the real risks of extreme adventures and you turn into some sort of thread Karen when nobody even initially spoke to you.
Take your meds, or whatever you need to do and go hassle somebody else.
You’re making a fool out of yourself and acting like a troll.
I think you nailed it. Very strange and uncalled for.
Per the above, US still not taking advantage of Magellan’s offer to use their ROV...
Murphy more than Darwin I would say. Those poor bastards.
I’d totally agree with you had this been the first voyage. But they’ve been doing these trips successfully for awhile. They had a guy who took the last trip and said it was definitely worth it.
I’m hearing it was untested (at this depth) and now you’re telling me several had been made?
I must admit this particular vessel is a new one on me so I’m just now learning about it
Usually I mostly read about ROVs at those depths
But I think James Cameron(?) made a trip (don’t remember the vessel).
In a discussion forum, it is entirely appropriate to point out your own risk aversion, as you pronounce (in a most Karen way) the terrible choices others make. If everyone was like you, we would not have landed on the moon. Heck, we would all probably be living in Europe if brave oceanic explorers had not discovered America.
Take a moment to look at the Apollo 11 lunar landing module, affectionately known as "Eagle."
Your flailing insults toward me prove you have lost the discussion. Bravery and ingenuity are the hallmarks of the American Dream and success.
So an old far superior P-3 Orion sub hunter out performed the overpriced totally inferior P-8 Poseidon sub hunter.
Honestly hard to say how true any thing is now a days. The guy who went on a previous mission could have exaggerated his experience. Hopefully these five are found and safely rescued.
[Hopefully these five are found and safely rescued.]
I would certainly hope so. I can’t believe nobody was on site with an ROV soon afterwards.
Of course, almost any minor hull failure would be catastrophic.
Now I’m wondering if she had a single-layer carbon fiber hull and no inner pressure hull. That would make the vehicle much heavier of course.
I have not watched the video Travis posted on another thread. Too many things to juggle before a little travel (local) today.
I forgot to mentioned the whistleblower said she’d be rated back to 3,000 meters (other thread) because of cyclic damage though there had been previous tests to 4,000 meters before the damage was observed.
I was going to go on that but I couldn’t spare the half mill, well to be honest, I’m scared of fish.
“Risky space travel is out of the question.”
The “next level” space travel currently being discussed, worked on, planned for at the national political level, and beginning to be funded, is not just “risky”. It’s suicidal. This will become painfully apparent, such that the Moon phase and the ultimate Mars objective won’t even make it fully out of the starting blocks.
Risky? That’s a euphemism.
Heh
If you had 500 million dollars and you gave me 50 million out of that, I wouldn’t attempt to scale that either.
I think 380 + atmospheres or around 5,500 psi by my calculations
That was a Twilight Zone episode about a US Navy sub.
Yeah, you are being pretty unnecessarily snotty here.
