So the last estimate now is 5 hours before oxygen is out. Beside that, the hull of the vessel is only 5 inches which is 2 inches less than the company engineers expected. Also safety is overrated says the missing CEO.

If this is proven to be true, perhaps the submersible would have already imploded (and the occupants crushed) by the immense water pressure down there even long before reaching the depth at which the Titanic rests:


Even if assuming that the submersible remained intact when it reached the seabed floor after losing contact with the surface ship, the remaining oxygen supply onboard would have ran out by now.

May all 5 occupants onboard RIP...

An investor told CNN that the vessel was designed to automatically float back to the surface if it was below water for 24 hours. Either they are floating on top of the ocean somewhere or they were long dead already. Seems more then likely something catastrophic in the depths.

Exactly. I know I'd probably be able to net a higher paying job in a Five Eyes country with my degree, but I'm still going back to Singapore because it's simply a far nicer place to live. The infrastructure, safety, cleanliness, sanitation, healthcare etc is leagues and leagues ahead of any western nation. China learned a lot from Singapore in terms of city-planning. A lot of the larger Chinese cities resemble Singapore nowadays.

And we haven't even got to the food yet lol.

I'm jealous bro lol

This is starting to feel more and more like an, unfortunately common, case of a company cutting corners for more profits. I read they used two material construction to save as much weight as possible so that they wouldn't have to upgrade the winch on the mothership. Then there are the unconventional interior, lack of a beacon, and now this window thing. I won't comment further as this is not my expertise.

Their ballast system is literally made from garbage. Also, the sub is designed not to be opened from the inside, so even if they floated to the surface the would have suffocated by now. Literal example of fuck around and find out.

It doesn’t have a beacon?

No matter how much money you have, you can't buy working brain cells.

Looking at the picture of the ballast system, it doesn’t look like the CEO would even give you bacon sandwiches if the guest don’t want to pay for it themselves.

nope, they had a discussion about it previously after the sub got lost for 5 hours, but apparently didn't implement.

The same person said that OceanGate didn’t do any testing on the hull in their lawsuit. Alongside the 2 inch thinner than expected hull from 7 inch -> 5 inch. This lawsuit was settled out of court.

Lochridge brought up concerns that no non-destructive testing had been performed on the Titan’s hull to check for “delaminations, porosity and voids of sufficient adhesion of the glue being used due to the thickness of the hull,” the suit says. When Lochridge raised the issue, it says, he was told no equipment existed to perform such a test.

The company also gloated that it designed and engineered by the University of washington*… except they said they never did other then testing it in shallow waters.

The filing says OceanGate’s vessel was the result of over eight years of work, including “detailed engineering and development work under a company issued $5 million contract to the University of Washington’s Applied Physics Laboratory.” But according to the University of Washington, the laboratory never dealt with design or engineering for OceanGate’s Titan vessel.
