What if they decided to not tell anyone cause they thought stretching it out would make for good television.
I honestly believe that's what happened it's what news corporations really bank off of
I'm imagining a live video feed of the imploded sub at the ocean floor with a 96 hr audio feed of the various media outlets counting down to their deaths.
Wow. Pretending they were still alive this whole time was a lot crueler than any crab meme shared on hexbear
What I'm saying is we need to up our game next time
Idk if it's even possible to out do the US military in terms of pointless cruelty.
Someone said "you know we haven't had one of those really good 'people are trapped' international news events in a while, let's play this one out"
Do you think there was like 2 seconds where a tiny leak started, and they looked at it and said "that's not good" before being smashed into a singularity?
James Cameron said in an interview like yesterday or something, that they probably heard the hull groaning or whatever word he used. Er er er er er eerererrrerr that kind of shit.
And then it took literally 1 millisecond to incinerate everyone inside the cabin and pack them into a dense wad of ash that then exploded less than a millisecond later
Yes apparently they were all incinerated in a flash hotter than the surface of the sun, because they were riding essentially an enormous cavitation bubble
wait what, how does that work? like theyre underwater but its hotter than the sun?? Username relevant to my inability to understand this btw
Oxygen is flammable, compression can ignite it due to the heat generated sort of like how a diesel engine combusts by super high compression rather than a spark plug. Air molecules got super-compressed and flash ignited.
Yeah this video shows near-vacuum bubbles collapsing and striking a beer bottle. Note that the glass doesn't break because of a shockwave traveling through the the glass - it breaks because of the tiny bubble collapsing and causing a little bit of water to slam into the glass.
The bubbles are just above 0 atmospheres, while the surrounding liquid is basically just at standard earth air pressure at sea level, around 1 atmosphere. So the difference in pressure here is 1 atmosphere.
The titanic wreck is sitting under 375 atmospheres of pressure and the cabin was at 1.
Know how in a diesel cylinder, the fuel ignites just because of pressure, with no spark plug needed?
and now realize that those billionaires were not different enough from diesel for the difference to really matter
Unlikely they heard any noises from the hull, as it was carbon fiber and not steel or something else that would bend.
The ceo probably saw the leak as an opportunity to disrupt the marketplace of life, and said give me another 250k or we go deeper, and the other rich people couldn’t disrupt the market enough to convince him otherwise
At they pressure they were at, any tiny leak would have been like a water jet cutter.
WTF is an implosion sound? Write out the sound you detected like a comic book sound effect bubble you cowards! Was it a KAKLONK sound or more of a SQUEEEEESH?
The bottom panel makes a strong case for "KRUMP" "THLOOSH"
Like a kkkTUNK like the sound made when you fire one of those t-shirt guns
There is a type of crab that snips so fast that creates tiny implosions. Id look for it but i dont do youtube.
Mantis shrimp make cavitation bubbles by springing their arms forward so quickly it has the same force as a .22 caliber gun and create underwater shockwaves that can kill prey even if they don't make physical contact with it.
there are also pistol shrimp that are totally different but also shoot little cavitation bubbles
I'm assuming there were either liability requirements or Laws of the Sea requirements. My understanding is that mariners aren't supposed to give up on rescue attempts until they're sure, even if they people they're trying to rescue are complete shitheads.
My guess? There’s more to it than just rescuing some billionaires.
yeah a free naval training exercise
Is it okay if I just feel bad for the sub, and not the passengers?
How many teenagers every day are pressured into doing dangerous things like working in sweatshops to fulfill the demands of capitalists?
Why should the teenager of a capitalist get a pass?
Twitter syndrome, on my Hexbear?
It's more likely than you think!
This is where I do most of my browsing, but it's always been apparent to me that others here really can't peel themselves away from Twitter for some reason. I used it for like a year and it was fine, but it never felt special or de-isolating in the way that this place is (especially when you remove the Twitter-brain)
Yeah i guess that's what I'm getting at, if people spend all their time there on "dunk on lib/chud central" it sucks to see it bright back here.
Definitely ran into it a couple times, even in at least one case where I was endorsing the Hexbear party line on a topic, but brought up one counterpoint.
subscribe to every community except the dunktank. i've found that helps
Yeah I used to do that when it bothered me more. Good thing is on the new Lemmy you can block the comm outright as well
His father wasn't even a billionaire so I doubt he was one himself.
Google says his net worth was estimated about at a third of a billion. Not really much point in fretting over the distinction at that scale.
Still feel sorry for the kid. Maybe he could have learned something from watching his father become part of a historical monument to the arrogance of wealth, and the way everyone celebrated it.
Seems like it was being used as a practice exercise honestly, which makes sense. Not like people actually go missing in the deep ocean much so use what you can to train.
we need to send down another team of billionaires to investigate just to be sure
actual A/V recording of the event source: US Navy
cw: lmao
and came out
