This is haunting.
There's no gore or anything, it's just twisted metal and cables. Still, seeing it and thinking "humans were alive in there mere days ago" made my gut drop. It's not like looking at wreckage of an old ship or plane or something, it's different. Because it's so small, it feels more intimate. Like looking at a coffin vs looking at a graveyard
The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic
Omg so tru. *Comits genocide
The death of a billionaire however, is hilarious 🤣
I truly hope you people are not being serious..
They are probably very young. People get less extreme in their views as they grow older (usually).
just more complacent to the poor state of humanity due to a lack of energy to change, or because the old benefit from the status quo.
I did not expect this thing to actually be hauled to shore. Kind of thought they were just going to leave it. How much did it cost to pull that thing up?
Hopefully, examination of the wreckage will yield valuable information about the cause of the failure and help future designs of deep-sea submersibles.
We already know how to build submersibles. Engineers told the CEO that this submersible was not built to spec and not safe. He fired them.
Sure we do but there's always something to be learned from a failure. This sub was unique in it's design and while that design ultimately failed, the knowledge gained from the failure could potentially lead to an improved design that maintains some of the benefits such as low cost and high occupancy.
Interesting - I had imagined it being imploded into bits like the simulations on the news show.
I'm certainly no expert but I understand submarines have an inner and outer hull. The inner hull has to withstand the pressure of the deep but the outer hull does not. The inner hull would be crushed into bits but the outer hull and any equipment in-between would likely be ripped into large chunks as such a violent event occurs inside of it.
Wow I didn't know they were going to recover it at all. Pretty cool. Can't wait to read about how shitty the design was.
