This definitely sucks. Submarine lost.

I can see this scenario being asked and played out in psychometric/stress testing in the future:
"Imagine you are stuck at the bottom of the ocean enclosed in a tube with only 96hrs of oxygen for the 5 of you. Onboard, there's a British Billionaire, Pakistani Billionaire with his teenage son, and a French Explorer. You are the 5th person and also Captain of this shithole. As you wait for rescue, do you:
1) Behave like a captain, calm everyone down and share precious resources like oxygen with everyone
or
2) Start doing the math, calculate who to take out and in what order, so as to give yourself more oxygen and higher chance of lasting till being rescued
or
3) Pull the self destruct plug and end the misery asap. Your career is toast anyway.
What would you do and why?"
I bet this was first and foremost on all of their minds...

Remember when Mel Fischer found the Atocha? Florida never bothered to look for it but they thanked Mel for his efforts then said, "the treasure is ours."
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Spain get in on the thievery? They claimed the ship belonged to them, even though they didn't lay any claim to it for over 600 years.
Fischer and Florida eventually settled. Spain probably figured out that they weren't going to get anything.
After than, maritime salvage law changed dramatically all over the world. The governments of the world were not going to let another Mel Fischer cash in on sunken treasure again.
I bring this up as an example of how this disaster could affect maritime law again. Look how much money has probably been spent by several governments on the rescue efforts.
In order to prevent this from happening again, and expending government funds, I'm willing to bet that there will be mountains of regulations enacted for future subsurface craft to comply with.
You heard it here first on SH!

Pretty horrific. I'm assuming they were in total darkness, in a capsule at the bottom of the ocean. Thats approaching the wood chipper and brazen bull as bad ways to go.
Yep… keep talking about some chum at the bottom of the ocean.
Logitech's stock just shot up. WTF?
I hope this hasn't started a fad.
The controls need to come with a Warning label. "Not to be used to operate homemade submersible sunbmarines."

Dead bodies at the bottom of the ocean in a sub in near subzero temperatures ain't decaying for a while....
There aren't bodies. There are little bits of organic matter that look like they come from Fancy Feast cans...

Damn, and Gordon Lightfoot just died recently. Who is going to write the song about THIS disaster?
In a 2.5 meter tin can, with no water food or bathroom. If they did not go quick I bet they wish they had.
‘It was a suicide mission’: German adventurer recalls his past experience aboard Titanic-exploring submersible now lost at sea
“The first submarine didn’t work, then a dive at 1,600 meters had to be abandoned.”

Wonder if it was the World Economic Forum dude?
So seems they have found landing parts and frame. The 'capsule' is nowhere to be found.
My guess is that it imploded into Carbon Fiber splinters and some cat treats. And those floated away on the currents. It was instant. As Ballard said. There was no 'sitting around waiting to be rescued.' They never knew they died.
Maybe heard some cracking right before the whole world ignited.
Oh well.
I had not heard that the sub made it to the Titanic 20 times, per a post above. I thought it never made it... had several false starts. But I am probably wrong. If it made it 20 times... that certainly would have caused the Carbon Fiber to delaminate and crush. It's not made for that stuff.

But think of the money he saved…….titanium ain’t cheap
Hey they are the only budget game controller tested at that depth, I understand Atari is in talks for their next sub to use a joystick from 1983.Logitech's stock just shot up. WTF?

Several options...

Blink-182. I mean... they have been part of this from the beginning.

If that's a modern Canadian, I say we load up the truck and go conquer Canada.
Good point..
You wanna know what God thinks of money..??
Just look at a lot of the people he gives it to, so to speak..
Soros for a decent example.

Just the thing for pretending to be a sailor in one of those "Sailor" bars on Crescent St. in Montreal. @Sean the Nailer probably knows what this is.

Barista looks disturbingly like Trudeau, almost as if they are cloning him for some nefarious purpose...
We're definitely not all like that, but invade away. It would take comparatively few pro gun, pro freedom people to take over Canada and fix it than would be required for the same job in the USA. And there's lots of wide open space to shoot long range here too.Titan Five's last moments above water revealed

So this is what the moron had to say about the view port....
It’s acrylic – plexiglass,' Rush tells Estrada after being asked what the window mounted at the front of the Titan vessel is made of.
'It is seven inches thick and weighs about 80lbs. And when we go to the Titanic, it will squeeze in about three-quarters of an inch and just deforms,' he explains.
'And acrylic is great because before it cracks or fails, it starts to crackle so you get a huge warning if it’s going to fail.'
Bwaaahhhhhaaaaahhhhhhhhh........
"Hey did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
"Sounded like a crackling sound....there it is agai.................

Safety record of Titanic sub called into question
The safety of OceanGate's Titan submersible missing with 5 people on board near the wreck of the Titanic, has been called into question
divemagazine.com
I also heard laminated carbon fiber was not impervious to salt water and would began degrading from the onset.
Even if a vessel made a successful round trip intact, it should be considered disposable and scrapped based on that.
At 250K a head, the company was making enough profit to use a fresh sub each trip.
I don't know exactly when the sub imploded but I'm pretty certain I could beat the fuck out of that guy with one hand tied behind my back.
To me that looks like rope for lifting it back aboard. It might be covered in plastic to protect it from elements.
Debris field is discovered in search area near the Titanic
The landing frame and rear cover of the missing submersible were discovered today by a remote operated submarine in a devastating blow to any hope that the men may still be found.
All things considered, it was a pretty impressive rescue attempt, considering none of the parties were on notice for the dive (USCG always is, but not for that kind of depth)
Somewhere there's an animated graphic that shows 8 or more ships getting up a head of steam and converging on the site. USCG, Canadian and French resources. Those guys deserve a toast, even though the search only confirmed the worst fears.
I'd bet the Navy heard the implosion, but won't say for obvious reasons. IIRC, they heard Scorpion, and it was thousands of miles away, and with much older technology.
Its all over but the lawsuits.

He was also touting the fact that the hull was outfitted with strain gauges that would annunciate/alarm when dangerously high levels of deflection were detected, due to the extreme pressures they would be operating in...........
