As some one in engineering. Everything I keep learning about this the more I think they deserved this. This was a piece of shit rigged system I would have never stepped in. Rich people are retarded and probably were in awe for the system.

I don"t get insulted when people call me poor, but faggots always wanna say the rich are smarter than me which -- well statistically they're not. If these people could do math they'd figure that out.

They are typically not smarter they just have no qualms against screwing people over. Just imagine if you had no issue blatantly stealing from people. You could be rich in no time.

They were certainly warned, but they put themselves beyound unnecessary risk on the path to guaranteed death (and so it wasn't an accident).

Was it stubbornness, presumption, vanity or simply a mistake? I prefer to raise my alert levels and lower my indulgence. The OceanGate tragedy is so stupid I suspect it might insurance fraud.

This last doubt will be solved when their corpses are rescued and I think to be impossible due to the extreme conditions at the bottom of the north atlantic ocean....

Meanwhile, I'm inclined to think these guys faked their own deaths. There are many reasons why a billionaire would do this, including getting out of millions in debt.

There are no corpses. They were liquified. They did not slowly depressurize or suffocate, it was instantaneous. Imagine having a 5,000 pound hammer hitting every inch of a body.

About the only way I would step into something like this with a carbon fiber hull is if it was a home-built very low depth sightseeing sub. Nothing deeper than like 10 or 20 feet, and even then the thing would need extensive rework.

Joke aside, the submersible most certainly had an inner hull just to attach things like lights, handles, and other equipment.

[ - ] TheGreatWar 3 points 2.0 yearsJun 24, 2023 10:52:32 ago (+3/-0)

And the inner hull was probably attached to the outer hull with deck screws.

From video you can see a metal mesh. And of course the carbon fiber was wound around some kind of spool.

If 4 little mounting screws are compromising the integrity of the hull we have a problem.

Yep. Doesn’t know a thing.

One of the first jet airliners ever built for civilian use failed because it had square Windows. Literally the corners of the windows because they were square propagated cracks throughout the metal which eventually caused the failure of the fusilage. The tiniest disturbance in a structure can migrate and cause it to fail. In the case of carbon fiber unlike metal carbon fiber fails quickly and without warning like a sheet of glass fails.

I am familiar with the windows thing, but that's a different material. I have 2 people claiming they know about carbon fiber but not even saying what would happen or why.

I don't know how thick that inner hull is or whatever. if they do, they're not saying so. That would be relevant would it not?

Hmm that was more to do with the use of rivets iirc

I can't tell anything about its construction from that but neat pic.

We really need a secret way to identify the percentage of diversity hires in a company before anyone uses their products. It should be the opposite of dei or maybe dei is actually the perfect way to do it. If we can see the dei of the engineering department of a company then we will know which companies and which products to avoid and which ones are likely to fail and cause us harm.

Gotta love when the jews' pet niggers get them killed with their stupidity.

No one pointed out the absurdity of going to the Titanic in a sub to look at it through a monitor and not a window.
Why even bother?

Guys, there is no way that made a single dive constructed how you seem to think this photo makes it seem.

You are assuming something dumber than dumb.

Everyone here is acting like the team was a diversity experiment but just look at their group picture.

OOh Like South Africa. The new USSA.
