rich people deserve to die and anyone stupid enough to by rush's bullshit also deserved to die

>>935896483 (OP)
i think i have that cheapo matt hes got. its like a super basic and thin weightlifting matt

Had it worked, he could have sold trips down to the titanic for two, who then could have had romantic sex alone within the Titan, right next to the remains of the ship.

Easy income.

>>935896485
Gaben owns the only pod that can do that can actually do that repeatedly, interestingly.

>inspector tells Rush that his deathtrap submarine is going to kill everyone on board in an email
>threatens him with legal action in response, then dies
what a chad

What made Rush think nobody was innovating in this field? How far up his own ass was his head shoved?

For me it's the fact that $3 MILLION from the taxpayers was spent on a fruitless rescue operation just because they were rich boomers

>>935896488
The last deep sea submersible to really change the game was Alvin, built in the 19 fucking 60s

>>935896483 (OP)
Rich people accomplished something and they deserve our respect.

That blonde intern chick was fucking Rush right? She seemed way too emotional to be just a former employee

Why is /tv/ so obsessed with this? What about this event appeals so much to 35+ nerds?

aw man I thought this was a Stargate thread

>>935896489
What’s worse is that the US navy knew they were dead they just didn’t want to admit it because they don’t like talking about the spy buoys they have all over the world’s oceans.

imagine your first job is working for a suicidally retarded millionaire building a death trap that will inevitably come to a disastrous end with paying customers on board and everyone around you is either a kool-aid drinking moron or like you, can't afford to burn this bridge and end up with a bad reference at the very start of your engineering career.

They got 80 deep dives out of it for 1/10 the cost of James Cameron’s 1 man cuck sub.

>>935896510
Why didn't you tell them that and why didn't you save them? The did a bunch of trips before that. So no, it doesn't just implode immediately

So did that breathable liquid from "The Abyss" ever happen or what, seems like that should be the way to do it.

>>935896515
Hey now, plenty of people died while hiking around active volcanoes and they will continue to do that. It's totally worth dying for.

>>935896498
They showed the wreckage, if they ever recover it they'd be lucky to even find bone fragments

>>935896519
It exists it’s just super thick and very uncomfortable (if not impossible) to use properly. They’ve found ways of improving that though. The human body easily withstand the pressure at 4000 meters. Once we have that tech figured out we can just lower people down on platforms instead of using shitty subs.

>>935896521
There are huge chunks of the sub intact, what? Do you think that everything in the titanic is pulverized as well?
That's not the issue. Who cares where their stupid bones are?

>>935896510
Carbon fiber can be used to make pressure vessels though

>>935896508
An old rich white man was her boss. You're on 4chan. It can't be his fault. It has to be that woman's fault.

>>935896523
The titanic didn't implode

These people were hit by a wall of water moving so fast it vaporised the air before turning them to mush. Any of the human paste on the wreckage would have already been eaten by bottom feeders too

should have hired some of these 50 year old white dudes

>>935896493
If you watched the Netflix special (or was educated on the case originally) I don’t know how you could ask this. The guy was able to reach a height through sheer bullshit that is really impressive. He was warned by multiple people in multiple industries (even Boeing) that he was going to kill somebody. The fucking guy was such a megalomaniac that he took this information and still got on his own sub.

This stupid acoustic warning system of his was actually working and warning him of impending implosion. He STILL went down.

The guy was clearly delusional to the point of severe mental illness and still managed to produce a working submersible and used it to reach a depth that only a handful of machines are capable of doing. He did this while firing and driving off engineers right and left. It’s an absolutely compelling story.

>>935896531
He did but they quit or he fired them. That comment was most likely an excuse for him to hire kids fresh out college that wouldn’t argue with him (which he did).

As much as chuds here want to act like this was caused by DEI, it wasn’t. It was caused by a 50 year old white guy.

>>935896532
He was the bad guy in every Michael Crighton novel. Amazing how that guy keeps being right about rich assholes after he's dead.

>>935896508
Rerard.

>>935896487
Why didn’t he just report him to the FBI or something? Or leak things onto 4chan? I wish I worked somewhere important so I could leak shitty iPhone captures onto 4chan.

>>935896533
DEI and Affirmitive Action before it were just old white guys handing out middle positions to stay on top. An old boomer I worked for told a black employee to his face interracial marriage was wrong then hired another, more retarded nig to be his assistant director. When he retired and the educated moron took over, the place went to shit so hard even the other boomers demoted the nig.

A certain variety of person enjoys communicating in that manner, it's vague and reddit-esque. They quarrel and try to make long-winded screeds instead of tldr

>>935896493
Because it was so easily avoidable if Rush wasn’t such a dipahit.
Anyone who knew any details instantly grasped that it was a death trap, but the one person who didn’t get the memo was the guy going down in it. It’s hubris that wouldn’t feel out of place in a comedy.

>>935896510
It wasn't the carbon fiber that failed tho but the glue holding the pieces together which wasn't spread evenly enough.

The entire business idea only worked if the sub was lightweight enough to be moved around easily and cheaply. It had to be light and carbon fibre was the only approach they had. If it didn't work in principle the entire idea was dead in the water. (pun not intended)

Yeah, his own submersible which was also a bathysphere with an outer shell containing some remote controlled thrusters, lights, cameras and ballast tanks, just like Alvin, but built even stronger and able to go even deeper.

>>935896551
That I’m not getting drawn into a your game of semantics by responding to your strawmaning driven by (you)r desperate need for attention.

>>935896518
The retard was told by multiple people on several occasions that the sub was going to fail. His response was to fire them. Then his sub failed and he died.

The best part is you don't even actually get to see the wreck through the plastic window. You have to use this camera and monitor which totally negates having to go down there since we could just do this from the surface!

If he put explosive bolts on the front dome so they could escape and had everyone wear a scuba tank & gear, this all could've been avoided. He was a cheap bastard.

It was actually just unfiltered narcissism, probably cause by his wealthy parents dismissing him constantly because he was just an average guy.

Also they get to break out all the search & rescue gear and operations and use it as a training mission

>>935896556
I have yet to see any refutation. Alvin was revolutionary, it had a pressure vessel and capacity for 2 or 3 people to survive for several days at the bottom of the ocean, and everything they needed to navigate there and do science and return to the surface in one self-contained vessel, everything before it was either very rudimentary, couldn't go anywhere close to the bottom of the sea, needed to be tethered to a mothership at all times, or all 3. But 60 years after Alvin, every deep sea vehicle is just Alvin but a little better. They're still all bespoke vehicles built for gorillions of dollars that can fit 2 or 3 people and take them to the bottom of the ocean for a couple days and bring them back after doing some science. Rush was a fucking retard, but he was right that the little club of deep sea submersibles was and still is stagnant, now even more since nobody's gonna try to build cylindrical composite pressure hulls any time soon.

>>935896579
>needed to be tethered to a mothership at all times
Is there any known instance of a bathysphere's cable breaking and sending the occupants down to their glomping

>>935896579
There's nowhere else to go with it. Sure, you can use fancier composites, but all this does is increase the risk due to their inherent lack of uniformity. Making the submersibles bigger just massively increases their weight and cost for the sake of adding an extra person or two.

Rush was a retard who ironically set back the world of DSV by showing that a moron with too much money could still skirt around regulations, ensuring whoever comes after him with a good idea is absolutely priced out of the market because regulatory bodies do not want another rich retard killing himself.

>>935896581
I promise you rich people will still be able to be retards who ignore regulation. Just look at who’s president lmao. The only people who will be forced to bend the knee are just regular people.

You're so stupid it hurts.

It was built in 1960, true.
Then it SANK in 1968, it was recovered, and the hull was entirely rebuilt in 1973. It had entirely new electrics for the RMS Titanic voyage, and new crew compartment and viewing for the thermal vents. By 2001, that sub was only the same name and shape, but entirely rebuilt, every part.
It's disassembled and inspected every 3 years. It was overhauled in 2011, 2020, 2022, and 2023.
Fuck you for not even doing basic research.

He did not tell those people how shitty the sub was. He lied to them and everyone else claiming that the sub was 100% safe. One of the victims was a child who only came because his father really wanted him to come.

The only person on that sub that diserved to die that day was the grifter who invented it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of billionaires, but celebrating a person's death solely because they got scammed, would make me a massive hypocrite.
