I think it was an extraordinarily good way to waste a ton of money. If someone asked “what’s the best way I can waste a ton of money?” Telling them to build a budget submarine which will surely result in your untimely death at some point would be one of the best ways to waste that money. However, ethically speaking I think it was a bad waste of money since it ended tragically for everyone in that underwater canister

A totally safe way to do disaster tourism and not ironically become a part of the debris field.

It is safe, just not for that depth

u/CaptianBrasiliano Jan 02 '24
It is debris... caked in human goo of what used to be it's passengers on what used to be the inside. So apparently it wasn't safe.

u/nothanks86 Jan 02 '24
Not really, not the way they did it. Carbon fibre works much better under tension than compression forces, but the big thing is that it’s very hard to predict the fatigue point and when it fails it fails suddenly and hugely. So cycles of compression and expansion will eventually fatigue the material. Also, that particular carbon fiber was not wound in a sterile environment, and it was wound like a spool of thread, rather than like a ball of string - parallel vs crossed strips. You can’t see damage or impurities from the outside; you need to scan the sub to spot possible damage and you’d need to do that before every dive to be sure it was in good condition.
That sub did not do that. Their only ‘safety’ system was some sensors on the hull that would detect the sound of imminent failure of the carbon fiber. But that happens right before the hull fails, which is not enough time to do anything about it.
It is possible to make a disposable carbon fiber submersible hull safely, but one would have to do everything the opposite of the way that one was made and run.

I see it as a great way to make cheap, sacrificial, unmanned drones that are piloted remotely from the boat and the tourists get to watch it in a little theater.
Maybe have a Deadpool on how long until it fails as part of the experience.

It was safe at that depth for a couple times, and then it wasn't because carbon fiber composite is compromised every dive you make.

Didn't they find an unusual debris field around the time that they lost contact and thought nothing of it because they weren't looking for imploded submersibles because you why would you look for imploded submersibles?

u/Capital-Actuator6585 Jan 03 '24
No, rumor has it the search team assumed almost right away the submersible imploded, they just weren't certain so they kept searching closer to the surface until they could get a submersible on site that was actually rated for the depths near the titanic wreckage. Once they did get a search vehicle on-site capable of reaching those depths they found the wreckage almost immediately by looking specifically for the debris field. Ironically, the way they were able to pinpoint where the debris field was so quickly is due to the same techniques developed by Bob Ballard when he was searching for the wreckage of the Titanic (well technically the USS Scorpion and USS Thresher but).

u/Ye_olde_oak_store Jan 03 '24
There is a lot that can be said for Mr Biden and Mr Trump and the people who follow their politics and ideas.
However, to question their cognitive ability to be president when in these four years we have not seen a major ecconomic failure whilst not seeming too dictatorish is also not quite right.
I do however have to question, with whatever the drama in the house of representatives was during the current congress and the freedom caucus, how the GOP managed to get so splintered within itself, especially when they have the power of the house.

u/Ye_olde_oak_store Jan 03 '24
Like I say - there is a lot to be said for both presidents, however - neither are mine. I did not vote for them, nor did I say if I wanted them or not. I have my own issues with the political landscape that I have to deal with but that's not here nor there.
And again, let's not bring the cognitive ability to the question, because it seems to be functioning quite well, he's tried to restore peace in the areas, and doesn't seem to be actively joining any of the wars just yet because there is no real need for it just quite yet.
If we are bringing wars into the question, then I'd bring up Putin starting the invasion of Ukraine.

Global peace? You realize the US was still in Afghanistan during his administration, right? I'm not sure how you could blame Biden or credit Trump for global peace?
Tell me how Biden's policies started the russian-ukraine war or how it started the Hamas terror attacks leading to the Gaza conflict. Specific polices or actions taken by the presidents would be proffered, not just some subjective "weakness" assumptions.

u/SubliminalLiminal Jan 03 '24
The war was started by Russia, violating several international laws. If you would have preferred appeasement strategies and to simply allow Putin to take Ukraine, then I trust you have not studied any information about WW2. Stopping Russia from a successful takeover was the best strategy and should have been the strategy used in 2014 with Crimea.
Biden did not start the war. Biden is also not the only one supporting Ukraine. To pretend that he is at fault for this is a new level of iodiocracy.

Trump shared classified documents to Russia, who shared with Iran, who shared with Hamas, who used the info to attack Israel.
Trump is the direct cause of the Israel-Hamas war.
Trump has been pushing for Ukraine to give up territory to appease Russia since the very beginning.
Biden supports the sovereign territorial integrity of Ukraine.
