This definitely sucks. Submarine lost.

[RUTGERS95]

The one eye congressman stated that they had the assets to deploy on Monday and they denied the request.Granted the request on Tuesday then denied again.Tapping noise that they were hearing was consistent with SOS every 30 minutes on Wednesday. They knew the location of the sub early on.

wasn't sos and they didn't need to divert anything as that sub was imploded by the time the distress signal went out to the world

Is it ironic that the moron who started this company called it "OceanGate?"

I mean... you don't call anything %$#@Gate.

Not since Watergate, Irangate, Russiagate, Pizzagate, Spygate, Strippergate..... I mean are these people completely tone-deaf??

And yet they sold out tickets...

The legend lives on thanks to James Cameron
Of the big ship they called the Titanic
The ship, it is said, lying on the sea bed
Attracts rich folks who’ve gone slightly manic
With a load of hardware from the local junk yard
An ivy leaguer set out to explore her
He came up with a plan and built a cheap-ass tin can
With a joy stick that was kind of squirrely



The can was a joke as it was built by some wokes
But they headed out for the Mid-Ocean
As the DSV’s go it was lamer than most
With a crew and good captain of retards
Concluding some terms for some quick quarter mils
They pushed off for the central Atlantic
And later that week when they looked towards the deep
Could it be a beer can they were sailing?

The clicking torque wrench made a tattle-tale sound
And the hatch fitted down like a jar lid
And no one really knew except the captain or two
That the crew sphere was made out of Bondo
The Ship started down and they started to grin
When the dreams of Titanic came on them

But five thousand feet down smiles turned into frowns
As the acoustical sensor began crackling
At 6 thousand feet the young wokies radio’d in
And said “Fellas you’re almost half way there”
At 7K feet the cheap window caved in
And ignited the crew like Napalm
The capsule went boom and the crew went "Oh s..."
Getting crushed to the size of a crayon.
And later that day when the comms went astray
Came the wreck of the Beer Can Explorers


Does any one know where the passengers go
When the pressure turns them into mere Twinkies?
The searchers all knew that there was no captain or crew
But the distraction was too good to pass up.
They might been breathing or they might have been mush
They may have floated up to the smooth surface
But the fact that remains and the whole event screams
Of a way to protect Hunter Biden


The Med has its shoals and the Atlantic has Bergs
and they swallow up ships like they're snack food
The Pacific has waves that are big as a mount
Its bottom is littered with iron
The South China Sea even seems kind of calm
Until you crash your airline down upon it.
But the ships that go cross and the mariners who are boss
Know you don’t go deep diving with Morons!


In the crusty old site called the Bear Pit they laughed
and made memes and brought up lordship Darwin
The Glowies chimed in yet the whole thing has been
About trannies with blue hair and nose rings
The legend lives on from the Bear Pit on down
Of the the junk that was not made in China
Titanic, they said, now has a bunch more rich dead
As the 50-somethings retired too early!

pretty much,
but don't forget that trump's own lead impeachment attorney believed that trump never condemned nazis or white supremacists at charlottesville until the night before the trial started and he finally saw an uncut version of what trump had said.

i bet 30% have still never seen it and still believe the lies that democrats tell to this day.

Crenshaw weighs in, blames...everybody?

Missing Titanic sub live updates: Family of billionaire Hamish Harding says ‘we lost him doing what he loved’

Follow the Post’s latest updates as the five passengers who were aboard the Titanic submersible “have sadly been lost” after they vanished off the coast of Canada.

nypost.com

"Missing Titanic sub live updates: Ex-Navy Seal Crenshaw blasts emergency search as ‘epic failure of leadership’"

"Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), a former Navy Seal, blasted the emergency response to the missing OceanGate submersible as an “epic failure of leadership,” after its crew was presumed dead from an implosion on Thursday.

“I have been hearing a lot of concerning things from people,” Crenshaw told reporters from the steps of the Capitol, Fox News reported. “What appears to be the case is epic failure in leadership. Where exactly that leadership failure is, I don’t know. Is it the White House, Coast Guard, Navy? I’m not sure.”

What a douche nozzle. What precisely would he have the Navy or Coast Guard do?

There was a maritime vehicle in distress,Coast Guard deployed, Navy probably passed along info of a POSSIBLE implosion, and assets from Canada, France and the private sector did their damnedest to attempt a rescue until it was proven the submersible had been destroyed. That's all that can be asked of them. Administration, as fubar as it is, stayed out of the fray and let the Coasties handle the show. Even in tragedy there are lessons to be learned, even if the biggest ones are cautionary tales for other would be explorers. What is the point of some congressman wading into the mess? What precisely would he do differently?

[Ronws]

IIRC the billionaire's remaining kid took a selfie at a rock concert so he's probably not too shook up.

Yeah and he kind of had a look and smile similar to Tom DeLonge, too. Good thing it was a Blink-182 show. It helps to know "All the Small Things."

See what I did there? You are welcome.

Him AND his son.

iwill count this as a win then

Three piece. It had another cap like that on the other side, just without the window.

And the o-ring seals? Designed for depth with rings that tighten as pressure increases?

Were they just expecting pressure to sandwich the flanges together?

Of course they were. What was I thinking?

Sirhr

 

[JBoomhauer]

I saw the same. Could not make out any sort of gasket. Appeared to be titanium on titanium. Flat to flat. Could not make out any taper either. Add in a few undersized fasteners way too far apart, only accessible from the outside and you have yourself a sub.

At Least 2 were WEF types. Good riddance.

But how could any person look at that and say “this is safe?” Anyone with a brain can look at that engineering and know it can’t stand 12k+ feet.

They really are that dumb…

Sirhr

 

[nikonNUT]

Probably that gasket maker stuff they sell at the autoparts store.

Seal could have been in the “hatch” face. And that would be totally wrong! O-ring should be in the flange on the body so that pressure deforms the o-ring into a “D” creating a tighter seal as pressure increases. Plus mating tapers would have been a good idea but I’m not a <cough> sub designer. Just a lot of years fucking with hydraulics trying to keep fluid in not the other way around.

 

[Cardboard55]

Look at the control panels

https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/NYPICHPDPICT000012909222-3.jpg

All the switches right where people can bump into them, no guards, what could go wrong?

No wires dressed, those labels, mickey-mouse all the way.

I'm going to guess carbon fiber tube delamination, with the under-rated window failing as a very close second. Titanium flange leaks on either end as 3rd.

Failure was not a question of if, but when. Pretty surprising it made as many dives as it did.

 

[Hardholder439]

Those onboard took a calculated risk and lost. The only tradgedy here is that it wasn't a submarine version of the Titanic with Bill Gates, John Kerry, The Clinton Crime family, George Soros and his spawn, The Biden Crime family, Klaus Schwab and every member of the WEF on board too. I could have gone on but I'll let others add the rest. Hints... Xi Jin Ping, All those involved in the 4 coups against Trump, Castro's son, the current leader of Canada etc. etc.

You and I called it early on. Not really an indication of genius....to my mind collapse of the pressure vessel was a given if they didn't pop ballast and surface. Speculation about being entangled was, to my mind and I believe yours, wishful thinking.

I don't believe that they had time to even know something happened.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Three piece. It had another cap like that on the other side, just without the window.

I am just seeing now that the passenger compartment wasn’t a sphere… it was two half spheres with a cylinder in the middle? Dafaq???

Every other deep submersible is a sphere… for obvious reasons.

I assumed a carbon fiber sphere…. Not tube with spherical ends. There is no point in spherical ends if the damn half-spheres are connected by a cylinder!!!

Yes, fine, in a true submarine, but there is a reason they don’t dive down deep. Because cylinders crush!!! But you can pack them with crews, reactors, torpedos and missiles. Excellent. But you can’t take one to go visit the Titanic at 12k+ feet.

The engineers on this shit show should be criminally charged… and go be innovative in women’s prison.
