That sub:

I do wonder if this vessel gets found any time soon, if at all

I'm sure most of the north Atlantic picked it up.

Some of the ballast is abandoned construction pipes that are sitting on shelves on the side of the thing, and the way you detach the ballast is you get everybody ob-board to lean to one side of the sub and they roll off,' he explained.
Learning this would be the moment you should set down the pen, push the waiver away, and kindly tell them to frick off.
Insane that they got on this thing just knowing that was how you dumped the ballast.
Also have to wonder how much of the cost cutting and skipped testing was due to the fact that the Titanic is disintegrating as metal eating bacteria eat away 100 pounds of metal a day. This dude may have rushed things purely b/c he was worried the ship was going to completely collapse before he could get his company off the ground.

So you think that there's a very accurate location of where they lost coms at and thus where the sub was when it went?
I imagine the ships sonar plotter probably has a good log of the event as well? If it wasn't too deep, I feel like I could have PROBABLY watched this happen on a bass boat downscan system and figured out what happened. That big supply boat surely has better shite than I do on my boat.

if whatever happened happened at less than a hundred feet

Hes probably excessively arrogant (a quality all great explorers posses), with no money in the bank to support the things he felt were unnecessary.
While it isn't particularly elegant, that system would sound perfectly fine to someone who has zero real concept of what they are about to do, and are simultaneously being convinced it's fine by a charismatic Cousteau wannabe.

They should have a rough idea. Depends on where in the water column it broke up. Deeper it was, the easier to find as it wouldn’t have had an opportunity to drift as far.
They probably don’t, but hundreds of other ships do (with respect to a deep tow magnetometer and sidescan or AUV with sidescan or SAS).
I’m currently flying to a job as we speak doing the same thing (albeit in a different part of the world).

Nah man, those things are amazing these days. I know mine picks up reasonable detail at 300ish feet.
This thing didn't make it anywhere near the bottom before it went pop if it was less than 2 hours into the dive.

I was gonna say this exact thing except I don't know WTF it means.

No! Don't leave us now. Not NOW!!

I wonder how many passengers knew about this incident and the utter incompetency of the company before they forked over $250k (or before they closed the hatch and started their descent).

That's kind of surprising, but I guess it does kind of look like a normal supply boat or an anchor handler rather than a well intervention type boat.
Either way, seems like they should know about where it went away from.

I laughed way too hard at this, but considering who's on the sub, I'm okay with it.

Aside from my silly and smartass comments in this thing and my occasional unbelievably prescient observations, is it your understanding that the submersible is transported out there on a bigger ship, offloaded into the water once they are in a pretty close approximation of where they want to go? And then the big ship hangs around for 10 hours or whatever, and then on-loads it and goes back home.
Is that about right?

imagine trying to find what is equivalent to a crushed up hatchback 12,500+ feet down in complete and utter darkness. Also there’s titanic debris around, so it will make it that much harder to find. Who knows if the current picked up what was left of the sub and swept it away like a feather in the wind

The Skandi Vinland is outfitted for inspection, maintenance, and repair work and light well intervention. They have a survey suite on board but they are performing work on subsea assets that they already know the location of. Their only ability to find the sub is gonna be with the cameras on the ROVs and a ton of luck

I believe it’s typically a 5 day trip so they can launch at least one and perhaps multiple times to accommodate for conditions and multiple paying customers.

It’s actually not as hard as you might think, assuming they have a fairly dialed in search radius and the currents didn’t take it out of that radius. The darkness has 0 factor in finding it.

I assume, if it was an implosion, that death was relatively quick for these poor people.
