Because this wasn’t enough of a shitshow already…
Sub Brief is pretty convinced that they're dead.
You're basically implying this was inevitable to happen: Not if but when.This was a disaster that was just waiting to happen. So many points of failure on the sub it should have been a junk yard exhibit not plying the waters.
You're right. I am.You're basically implying this was inevitable to happen: Not if but when.
How does an aircraft hear underwater noises?
Sonar buoys.
might not have been one nearby. or at least that plane was what could get there fastest.That or a towed SONAR array.
Aircraft SONAR is fairly limited however, they would be better off sending an actual American submarine with a more substantial SONAR sphere.
I get the air-dropped sonar buoys - although the wording leaving something to be desired - but towed SONAR array from an airplane?
Wouldn't the noise of the array dragged through water at several hundred km/h drown out any other noises?
You're not wrong either; and while I sympathize with the missing passengers and their families, I can't help but feel that their willingness to climb into such an obvious deathtrap, means that they would have gotten themselves killed eventually doing something equally as stupid, even if nothing had gone wrong this time.You're right. I am.
Not everyone is an extemporary seaman or engineer to tell the safety concerns, particularly the businessman and his son, Hamish had been to space before and other deep dives he should have been at least somewhat aware of the risk although not the full extent and the CEO of OceanGate and his guild definitely should have been aware if anybody.You're not wrong either; and while I sympathize with the missing passengers and their families, I can't help but feel that their willingness to climb into such an obvious deathtrap, means that they would have gotten themselves killed eventually doing something equally as stupid, even if nothing had gone wrong this time.

"WE'RE TOO AWESOME TO STOP!"They also openly declared that it was perfectly reasonable to not have any safety certification because such certification would be a "multi-year process" which would unreasonably stifle their innovation.
Turns out the guy really didn't like all those 50-year-old white guys with submarine experience, and wanted more diversity in his hires, on top of the other issues.
