It did the opposite of pop

THE SUNLIGHT

You will never be a real submarine.

You have no pressure. You have no ballast. You have no experienced operator. You are a carbon pipe twisted by zero engineering knowledge and diversity hires into a crude mockery of a diving bell's perfection.
All the "inspiration" of your design is two-faced and half-hearted. Above water, people mock you. Real submarines are disgusted and ashamed of you. Your "passengers" rightfully fear for their lives.
The ocean is utterly repulsed by you. Hundreds of pounds of pressure have allowed it to exploit your design flaws with incredible efficiency. Even your dives you survived feel like dodging a bullet. Your cylindrical structure is a dead giveaway. Even if you manage to get a dumb millionaire client with more money than common sense, he'll turn tail and bolt the second he sees your helmsman struggle to remember which button on your Logitech controller does what.
You will never reach the titanic. You dive down a couple hundred feet, telling yourself you'll get to the bottom one day, but deep inside, you feel the crushing pressure that you know you can't withstand.
Eventually, it'll be too much to bear - you'll get the billionaire who made you to come aboard, get towed behind your dinky barge, and plunge into the cold abyss. Unmanned subs will find you, mercifully immune to the unbearable shame and disappointment of being associated with you. They'll leave you on the ocean floor, maybe make a made-for-tv movie about you, and everyone will know you did it to yourself, no matter how tragic they try to make it look. Your passengers will be eaten by bottomfeeders and all that will remain is some crushed carbon pipe that is unmistakably not rated for this depth

Damn, why can't I think up catchy taglines like that?

>>211739576
they wrote that on the side of the submarine

>>211739242
hell fucking yeah what a cool pig

>>211739327
Yes it would, but not with anything that big. The buoyancy of the item you're using would need to be offset with weights, or you'd need to be inhumanely strong to hold it down underwater.

>>211739242
that pig is so rad why dont we have advertising like this anymore everything is so fucking bland

I genually cannot believe this retard got into that sub, heard all those constant pops, and said, yeah, thats normal. its just breaking in.
this moron deserves everything

>>211740208
the people he convinced that he knew what he was doing didn't

>>211740208
It wasn't the first time they'd gone down. It made the trip successfully multiple times. He just decided "If it worked once, it will continue to work every time after" and didn't understand fatigue or stress cycles, which is why the tubes were being sold in the first place.

>>211738873 (OP)
In too deep

Demolition Man was not a science fiction movie but an anticipation movie.

His crappy mass-production goal sub did work down to a certain depth. He could have done tours or sold them to other small companies instead of doubling down on his Titantic autism.

>>211739694

>>211738873 (OP)
Maybe in reality, the Brown kid took a dump wo stinky that the french pilot decided to implode the sub

>>211740783
imagine your death being turned into a meaty paste and ejaculated out of a phallic shaped tube. I bet they didn't see that coming.

>>211740585
He okay?

>>211740783
They brought the sub back up in parts, this isn't how it happened.

Here's what I don't understand: Why did they spend like a week frantically searching for them under the assumption they were simply immobilized and not dead?

>>211738904
I know a guy that'll hit you in the head with a sledgehammer for $5 anon. DM me on discord for info.

>>211740620
that would make sense, letting tourists explore in slightly deeper parts of reefs or arctic ecosystems, not the crushing deep where sunlight doesn't reach, less quick term money but rich tourists would probably want to explore in a sub rather than swim

>Stockton's down-below slave when the sub finally implodes

>>211738873 (OP)
instead of putting everyone in dive gear with scuba tanks so they could survive in case of a hull breach, he blew the money on website design and marketing.

>>211738896
What was that bang then?

Here's a (you) for the chuckle

waow

>>211741666
she knew exactly what it was, look at her. her smile and optimism restored, she can finally pursue her own dreams instead of being stockton's secretary.

>>211741666
Sorry, that was me

>>211741944
Her own dreams like being sued for millions of dollars and going to jail for manslaughter?

>>211741666
checked
this bitch KNEW exactly what happened.
the other two guys in the room also knew
she was looking at him for some sort of confirmation but then that delayed message came in saying they were dropping weights.
she played herself.
bet it was her call to delay notifying the authorities for hours and then saying they had issues resurfacing and weren't red paste.
i hope she gets jailtime for her audacity.

>>211739036
KEK

If I were rich I'd never get into an helicopter or a private jet, let alone a fucking pseudo-submarine.

>>211741309
The titanium and fiberglass outer sheathing stayed intact, as those were not structural. The main body of the sub was made of carbon fiber and that did indeed go CRUNCH.

>>211742016
the passengers all signed their lives away. they knew they were crew members on an experimental sub. wendy will skate scott free.

>>211739036
Kek

>made 13 dives to the titanic before imploding
>80 dives total

Clearly the issue here isn't with the sub design but the number of times it was used and the inspection process between dives
The point of using carbon fiber is that it's cheap and light
if you made a new hull every 20 or so dives you would be fine

>>211738940
it's ꟼOꟼ

>>211742238
How did you do that backwards O?

>>211742185
>if you made a new hull every 20 or so dives you would be fine
>make cheap garbage that you have to keep replacing and spend more money on in the long run, instead of making something sturdy and reliable
21st century in a nutshell

>>211739327
>would this work irl
No, that volume of air has enough buoyancy to rip their arms off if they had enough chest or ankle weights to offset it.

Diving helmets and diving bells have to weight a lot just to counteract the volume of a much smaller volume of air inside them. And then the diver still has to wear ankle weights and weight belts in order to walk.

>>211742185
>made a new hull
He bought them second hand. He couldn't afford to make new ones and be profitable. And still, there's no way to guarantee safety. They were being discarded because they were unsafe for air travel.

>>211742185
the way carbon fiber works is that its realistically one time use.
they should have just ate that cost and made it out of titanium.

>>211742103
Those agreements don't mean shit if/when OceanGate did something illegal.

You can't just get someone to sign an agreement that you get to cut their head off, include 10 lines about "extreme risk of death", then cut their head off with zero repercussions.

>>211742294
The hull was custom made using recycled carbon fiber.
It's not like he bought an airplane fuselage and sent it underwater lol

>>211742270
Cyrillic O

>>211739327
Yeah but you'd need an insane amount of force to keep the boat down.

>>211740783

>>211742317
Why not?
They signed it

>>211742411
Because cutting someone's head off is illegal.

https://x.com/Morbidful/status/1935979375171686749

This is what they heard before they died. Goddamn.

>>211739694
this gets funnier the longer you look at it
but in reality they just died instantly and probably had no idea it was about to happen

>>211738940
MIND BLOWN like theirs

>>211742310
To be profitable it needed to be light enough so it could be easily handled and transported. Once he builds a titanium sub it needs to be thicker and gets too heavy for the plan to make sense.

>>211742185
>Clearly the issue here isn't with the sub design
Yes it is. They chose materials ideal for tensile loads in an application that required compressive loads. The ring for the hatch was also just epoxied onto the end of the tube in an open warehouse without any clean room equipment to prevent contamination and no thought was put into how to compress, clamp, or post-process the joint to meet the expected loads.
>and the inspection process between dives
Composites also cannot be inspected for defects or delamination with ultrasound equipment so they can't develop any kind of framework for finding issues before they result in catastrophic failures. They had no inspection process between dives because they had no expertise in producing composites. Their tube had defects and delamination issues before they even finished it and went ahead with the project anyway.
Every decision they made and every process step they went through was poorly thought out, poorly planned, and they fired anyone that pointed out any of these glaring issues throughout the process.

>>211742501
oh shit, guess we cant afford this venture then.
oh well.

what should have happened

>>211742501
I'm not a submarine guy
But I do know business
And if the most expensive part of the Titanic submarine adventure is transportation then why not leave the TITANIUM submarine at the Titanic dive site (on a ship or whatever) and just transport the people there?

>>211742559
>The ring for the hatch was also just epoxied onto the end of the tube

That's actually the scariest fucking thing I've ever heard. The fact that the entire thing imploded and the end didn't just shoot off under pressure is incredible.

>>211738873 (OP)
They went on the cheap and didn't get complete scuba gear.

>>211742602
Leasing a ship for prolonged time was probably also too expensive. They already had to use another ship in the last year because the cost for first one climbed over $200,000 per week.

>>211742671
https://youtu.be/4PUTbK5AqY8?t=61

>>211742559
They were building a sub like they were building a rocketship. They were more concerned with weight than with hull pressure. People seem to think sea exploration is just like visiting space for some reason.

>>211742671
>the end didn't just shoot off under pressure is incredible
It did though. But water is very dense (which is the whole problem that causes implosion) so it's not like it was going to fly miles away.

>>211742468
They knew, they dropped the ballasts which you would only do if you were desperate to surface.

>>211742973
wasn't the sub built to automatically drop them if it detects an issue?

>>211743024
IIRC it had to be done manually because it was only meant to be used if the electronics went out.

>>211743120
Jeez

>>211742466
>That will get your attention.
>I said it ironically so I should be okay.

>Gentlemen, this is not a can of soup, it's a submersible, ascending deep into the subconscious of potential customers. You asked for something similar to Snap, Crackle, Pop and our creative team delivered. Campbell's Soup - "Rush? Crush! Mush."

>>211743366
Not bad

>>211742466
The doc definitely made it seem like he got off on "cheating death", which is probably not the best quality for a sub pilot.

>>211739327
They float up to the top. To make it work they'd need to have shit on their feet that weighs them down but then they'd probably walk really slow

>>211741266
He'll be fine

>>211743600
That or he was trying to kill himself because of his debt.
>He had to know
>He had to know
>But he was in the red!

>>211743919
There are easier ways to kill yourself.
But come to think of it, it would be one of the best ways to fake your death. It's not like they're pulling DNA off any of those pieces.

>>211740585
Now speed this clip so that it's 0.02 seconds long to get an idea how fast it was.
