I think the document they had to sign mentioned death 3 times. I think it imploded, the only good thing is if that happened they would have known nothing about it, it would have been that fast. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but billionaires hire lawyers who find loopholes, like evidence the company wilfully misled the clients because there was evidence the sub in question wasn't as safe as they said etc. etc. Notable that a few people have already come forward suggesting they had safety worries years back. The one conspicuously thriving group of survivors from here on in are lawyers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FinalChapter 59 Posted June 22, 2023 Even in the best case scenario where the find the submersible intact, there’s no precedent for pulling a ship up from a depth of this level and the time it would take to find one would likely exhaust their remaining air supply.

Ulitzer95 11,087 Posted June 22, 2023 Listening to an expert on the Beeb talking about this. Takes the brain 4 nanoseconds to register that something is wrong. The nature of the implosion would have occurred in about 2 nanoseconds. They were dead before they could even register panic. That's pretty reassuring to the families at least that there was no suffering involved. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thankfuly it is that quick because during that high a presure implosion you will undergo compression ignition the same as fuel in a diesel engine! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,464 Posted June 22, 2023 At risk of hypocrisy and not wanting to get all Old Testament fire and brimstone preachy about it, but you'd like to think this might be seen as a sign for rich tourists to stop poking their noses into what's essentially a mass grave. I feel sadder about the cross-channel charity swimmer who went missing this week, with far less media fanfare. He probably didn't die in two nanoseconds. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,464 Posted June 23, 2023 For any common or garden millionaires now looking to snap up a cheaper deal (or YTS kids looking for jobs), I’m afraid Oceangate’s website appears to have imploded. The incident should be referred to as Oceangategate, I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 3,483 Posted June 23, 2023 The very definition of chickens coming home to roost. In some ways a shame Mr Rush didn't have a chance to register his hubris before he imploded. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
