Titanic Tour Submarine Missing.

[4Waters]

The amount of money spent by the CIA on that escapade to extract a very small portion of that sub 20 years later was about the biggest boondoggle of federal spending ever. At least Hughes made some bank on the whole ordeal though...

I believe it was about six years later

 

[fat rat]

The good to come from this is that know the life cycles of the vessel. But I’m sure someone will build a better craft.

You are correct, Sir. Soviet sub (K-129) sank in '68 and the Glomar raised pieces in 1974. The sub was obsolete by 1974 (it was commissioned in 1960) when any pieces were raised to daylight again. Still an incredible story though!

Exactly

 

[Jed-O]

It had no windows so what was the point

Exactly my thoughts. Plenty of video out there and it didn't cost yourself your life or $250,000.00 .
Darwin at his finest...?

 

[OCMerrill]

This whole deal with the Navy and the implosion info being withheld sucks. They never suffered as they were gone in a 1/4 second but allowing the drama and false hope to continue just speaks Government. Perhaps closure once the debris was found was the hopeful end game here?

My buddy's son flying in a C-130 for days on end Grid searching in a converted flying gas can to families hanging on some positive update for days, for me also difficult to understand.

May they all RIP

Govt also tried to cover it's ass by planting articles in Popular Science and other technical publications at that time in advance of the mission referencing the new mining breakthrough.
Remember reading about it in Jr. High.

"The decoy story was the ship was built to mine seafloor manganese nodules IIRC. That didn't fool the Soviets, they had a ship within spying distance"

At the time the story put out it was, oh schucks - we had it, but we dropped all but a little of it, so we’re leaving now. Ya, right.

I feel a new saying coming on. In stead of "what ever floats your boat", what ever sinks your sub? I feel the sub you be imploding in. Dont count your air supply until the implosion is over.
RIP

There seems to be significant interest here about ocean exploration. Much of it is conducted quietly for various reasons; wealth, national Security, science, historical verification etc etc. Some has been done on a shoe string budget. Check out the Mel Fisher musuem in Key West. He did very well, but it was always a struggle. I know people who still live in KW who worked for Fisher. They made out well. So did some of their parents, who were original investors and stood behind Fisher. Most other exploration contractors conduct vastly expensive operations. Some may receive govt funding, due to the nature of their work. Others, super rich billionaires, do it on their own. Check out the late Paul Allen and his R.V. Petrel. They discovered over 20 military wrecks of various significance. Odyssey Marine Exploration was once a popular place TV series of documentaries. Believe they’re no longer on TV. But, they continue to exist, often conducting operations on behalf of various countries.

There’s been mention of condition of artifacts, even bones on the bottom of the ocean. If interested, check out the Black Sea. Ancient artifacts have been found on that bottom in amazing condition. Human remains (?).

With an experimental sub that takes tourists on board, you would think that a government agency would get involved with required licensing, testing, and certification safety standards.

careful what you ask for... you just might get it. at some point personal responsibility has to come into play. the Gubment cant save us all. they will try if you let them.

So a legitimate question is what happened to those souls who went down in 1912. Obviously sea life has gotten to them. But their bodies must have been crushed once they hit the bottom?

This test using dead pigs was done at 300 feet, so one can imagine what 12k feet would do.

 

[Sleek-Jet]

The titanic victims didn't experience explosive decompression, but I can imagine what trapped gas in the bodies did as they sank...

 

[RiverDave]

For the person driving lickity split... Absolutely! I do feel sorry for the passengers, they didn't sign a waiver indicating the driver was going to try and race...

You do know that lickity split was barely doing a 100 when it crashed…. I’m not even sure why it’s brought up in this thread.

Wouldn't trapped gas make them float???

Isn't it more like explosive compression? Those bodies aren't trapping anything.

 

[hallett21]

Yes. But if they were in the ship it didn’t matter.

 

[OCMerrill]

I think of it as a diesel engine. Humans and remaining oxygen become fuel essentially. I read that this morning on a science website along with... at 12k feet down its the weight of the empire state building built out of solid steel pushing on that largely composite vessel.

Hull implodes compressing everything inside. The compression ( like a diesel) causes a violent explosion.
This all happens in a 1/4 of a second which is faster that you can feel a burn on your fingertip from a hot pan for instance.
The crew never suffered as they were basically vaporized. There are no human remains to collect.

This is the better of the horror choices the founding idiot could have put them all through. Remember the viewing port was only certified for 4500 ft.

The crew never knew their life was ending as there was no time to process anything.

Still looking

I remember that. There were illustrations of an undersea craft lighting the ocean floor and dozens, if not hundreds, of large roundish dark rocks that purportedly contained millions of dollars of manganese.

This was on YouTube last night, very interesting points by James Cameron. No holding back.

Sounds like he’s starting the process on making a movie.

Couldn’t image hearing it delaminating for 3 seconds before it let go.

 

[Sleek-Jet]

Yeah, that's what I meant. I guess I got that exactly backwards, and I was thinking about people sinking in/around the Titanic.

He's gonna need a new movie or 4 to cover the cost of making Avatar 2-5 - that series is imploding too

Post 202 is what I'm referring to. Read the first sentence. I don't see any difference between the Titan sub accident and the Lickity Split accident. Per that post though the Lickity Split accident should be viewed the same as the Titan accident, as well as any accident from a hobby or related that is expensive. Just some well off people with an ego that get what their poor judgment and decision making granted them. In this case both suffered loss of life, by an accident, of what I'm guessing are good harmless people. People should be judged by character, not wealth.

 

[stephenkatsea]

The Glomar Explorer project included the recovery and proper burial at sea of Russian Navy seaman. The burial ceremony was filmed and handed to their families. May they RIP.
