re: Titanic tourist submarine goes missing

To be fair, they didn't know where it crashed (or if it did). They at least know exactly where this sub went in and at exactly what time. They can model somewhat where it drifted. Situations aren't comparable.
Still a very, very hard undertaking.

Understood.

The Newfy seismometer is a bit intriguing because it’s land based. The direct p-wave would’ve passed through several haloclines and thermoclines at depth as well as the shelf break. I’m surprised there isn’t a secondary set of deflections from the Rayleigh wave once the direct hit the shelf.
SPL diminishes with time and distance, anything is possible. Rayleigh ray bending is not out of the question.
Good stuff, thanks.

The lack of comms with Titan's USBL transponder lends credence to the first, assuming it has backup batteries as usual.
Given the seismic trace I agree on the implosion. Where is the USBL located on the submersible? Maybe it landed upside down or on its side

They wouldn't necessarily be crushed as much as vaporized by the violence of the sub failing. The nitrogen stuff happens when your body is put in a high pressure environment and nitrogen compresses and diffuses into your bloodstream. Rapid decompression causes it to very rapidly expand and in extreme cases can literally blow you apart.
The sub was at close to atmospheric pressure, so what happened here is the opposite, Rapid compression. Absent of the sub, I guess they would be smashed and compacted into a shoe box sized spherical blob. With the sub though, it would be a very violent implosion. They basically just cease to exist.

what a way to go

"50 year old white guys with military experience" would be exactly who I'd want to be hiring. Ex-Navy sub guys.

USBL is on the mothership. It interrogates a beacon on the submersible and the beacon/transponder will “respond”. They would’ve used an omnidirectional beacon so landing on its side wouldn’t matter. The sub more than likely wouldn’t land upside down as the drop weights are attached to the bottom, thus would have landed upright-ish.
But that’s a moot point, she gone.

People are relatively incompressible. That's why saturation diving is possible in the first place. We aren't as squishy (well some of us) as many think we are.

I saw his stupid quote and I also looked at their website. Everyone on it is either a 50s white guy or the chief pilot, who looks to be a 40s white guy who was a professional diver. Do you have some other information?

11AM Thursday is when they run out of oxygen...

It's a difficult area to model because it's where two major currents meet, which creates complex and unpredictable water movements.

I suspect (or rather, for their sake, I hope) the oxygen left the sub when it imploded.

Fun fact - it would have liquefied during the implosion before dissolving into the water.

Does it bother you that you constantly have to do mental gymnastics to carry water for progressive bullshite? You know it's wrong, but you do it anyway. That's cult-like devotion.
Look in the mirror. It’s hilarious that you’re trying to make this a political progressivism gone wrong boogeyman b/c you need to completely ignore all of the documented corner cutting, cost skimping, and unrealistic goals that Stockton Rush pushed. Once again, it does not matter who he had doing the designs b/c he absolutely did not give a frick about safety standards he deemed to be out of date regulations stifling innovation. He wasn’t going to listen to anyone that told him it couldn’t be done. He wasn’t even willing to pay for it to be tested. His firing of David Lochridge in 2018 proves that.
Hell I wouldn’t be shocked if the old white guys comment was a thinly veiled jab at people like Lochridge and the dozens of outside experts who all called into question what Rush was doing as far back as 2018.

My brain tells me, if I’m 80% water, I only need to use 20% of my body to swim.

Did anyone on the vessel have ties to the Clintons by chance?
