RandomGuy. Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 One upside of this is the new slew of theories about "what's under the oceon" making noises. Every time anyone ever listens to the ocean underwater theres sounds, nobody can explain them and all sorts of monsters get blamed, then they discover it was just the sound of waves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ferrino Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 3 hours ago, Shotgun said: On the lack of sympathy issue - These billionaires have wealth beyond the dreams of avarice. They could have used it to save dozens, if not hundreds, maybe thousands of people's lives without the slightest inconvenience themselves. There are countless ways in which they could've made the world a better place, even if it was just making daily life pleasanter for the employees who created their wealth. Instead, they spent it on their own needless and trivial wants. Much like Michael Jackson spending millions on funfairs that only he could use, these twats were selfishness and greed personified. I'm with the 'Counterpoint' guy from Airplane quoted upthread. f**k 'em. Michael Jackson didnt build the funfair just for himself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I don't think any of the videos doing the rounds of railway tankers imploding really convey what a sudden and violent act the implosion would've been.

GordonD Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 QI repeat on Dave tonight had a round about a really crappy British submarine from the First World War. Then later on they got the contestants to karate chop a length of wood, with a big sheet of paper holding the other end down because of air pressure.

alta-pete Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Getting the timing right would be the biggest issue (ie having led a full live and knowing there’s not much more to give) but I reckon that’s the way to go. Crushed to death in a millisecond and not knowing one damn thing about it and also no remains to be burnt/buried, therefore depriving some deviant undertaker of having their wicked way with me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 To add to everything else, OceanGate is alleged to have bought their carbon fibre second-hand from Boeing on the cheap, because it was too old and stressed to be used in aircraft (pressure differential 0.7 atmospheres) and he then put it in his deep sea submarine (pressure differential 400 atmospheres). Stockton Rush seems to have been an absolute weapons-grade fuckwit of the highest order. https://www.insider.com/oceangate-ceo-said-titan-made-old-material-bought-boeing-report-2023-6?amp 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to cut a lot of corners and there seems to be next to no regulation. I still find it bizarre that people would pay so much to go into that thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
