They had no idea it happened.
The implosion was probably a 10th of a second... Once the weakness in the vessel structure started to move The exponential rate of decay under that kind of pressure would be lightning quick.no one wished death on anyone...just wanting the death to be fast and painless
according to hubby who knows it all.....take 1.4 sec for pain to reach the brain....the implosion most likely was just under that
Yeah me too, I'm just a realist. They lost communications after a couple of hours and the sub did not surface."I was hoping that the mini sub just imploded rather than being a 4 day torture chamber for these 5 people."
I was hoping that they would be saved.
Yeah probably but I don't understand is why they didn't immediately surface unless they tried to and just didn't make it.So, then, just to clarify, they did not know the implosion happened whe nit actually happened. That;s how fast it hapened when it finally imploded.
But they knew it was coming when the sensors told em the hull was cracking under pressure.
cameron took the russian subs down...not the oceangate one
This man never pressure tested his his vessel. This is more or less like playing Russian roulette. I'm not sure who engineered that thing but the enormous pressure present on the sea floor at 2 miles should require a full structural testing after each dive. Prior to this most recent dive I can guarantee you that a non-destructive scan of the hull structure would have revealed micro cracks that were no doubt present. On a unibody structure like that you cannot repair a micro crack you have to scrap the entire structure and start over. If the walls on that sub were anything less than 24 in thick whoever designed it was an idiot.
why didn't they wash their hair the night before?no one wished death on anyone...just wanting the death to be fast and painless

As a pilot he had to have some basic background in engineering. I'm sure in the back of his mind he knew he was taking a great risk. Someone mentioned that these were international waters and so they were unregulated. He never would have been able to get a diving permit inside of some regulated area without having shown recent inspection reports after each dive.I read an article that the owner of the company did not want to hire 50 year old men. He wanted younger people who would inspire 16 year olds.
If they were leaning toward being libertarians they would be opposed to regulations and certification. The ridiculous political mindset comes back to bite every time.
I understand that the hull was carbon fiber. Some experts say that was not a good choice because it can be brittle. As you said, an inspection before the dive could have detected any micro cracks, etc.This man never pressure tested his his vessel. This is more or less like playing Russian roulette.

This is a perfect example of why this type of industry needs regulation. This is what happens when you leave it up to somebody's greed.... I can get one more dive! I can get one more dive! I know I can... before I have to repair the ship.Yeah, I know. He actually talkied about that in the discussion. Particularly the technology.
But he's in that very small community. These people all know each other. He warned that this was going to happen to that sub.
Which, btw, included writing letters to so-called authorities on the topic.
So I'd expect some sort of regulation to come along, largely influenced by the big shots like Cameron.
These are also very competitive people, but they're all in the same clique. Basically. They know what each other are doing and what they're building.
There should have been an inspection after every dive...I understand that the hull was carbon fiber. Some experts say that was not a good choice because it can be brittle. As you said, an inspection before the dive could have detected any micro cracks, etc.

Yeah I don't think they ever hit oxygen shortage. From the account that I read they were gone seconds after they made the announcement of the problems they were having.Everyone was hoping they would be saved.
The discussion is whether they died in an implosion or from suffocation.
Would your callous opinion be the same if they were middle class and paid a buck and a half?
The passengers bear some responsibility for their own demise. If somebody heated up a 500 lb cannonball red hot and said: " here catch!"..I’m mystified that people spend big money on stuff like this.
Dangerous, expensive, ostentatious
Please do cut yourself on all that edge.
No seriously, down the street, trash, not across the tracks.
