  1. ​ @johnsmith-zh1iv Items like wires and electronics etc do not implode because they are solid, so there is no pressure change to force material from areas of high pressure to low pressure. There are fragile items like fine-china dinnerware and chandeliers intact at the Titanic wreck site. Even fragile objects can remain undamaged under extreme pressure.

  4. Worst case scenario is maybe a few seconds of awareness the structure was compromised then instant death. They wouldn't even have time to drown. There are plenty of worse ways to shuffle off your mortal coil.

  6.  @LoricSwift  I wonder if they will show the reassembled submersible to the public, like they do with airplanes that have crashed or exploded in mid-air?

  7.  @bgddogdflgd3013  Would you want a piece of an airplane or car that someone you loved died horribly in? What are you going to do with it...put it on your mantlepiece to remind you for the rest of your life of your loved one's gruesome death? It's not hateful, it's just a weird idea..."Here you go Mrs Smith...it's a piece of the submersible your husband was in when it imploded. Careful...it's a bit icky on one side!"

  10.  @Crowwillbe  Yes, we should all lock ourselves in our rooms and never leave the house because something bad might happen to us. We would all still be living in the stone-age if no-one ever took a risk to try something different.

  23. Grab a full tube of toothpaste, unscrew the lid, wrap some plumbers tape around the end of the tube, screw the lid back on, run over the toothpaste tube in your car avoiding the lid and watch what happens! 😉

  24.  @darthwader4472  Same process. If the carbon-fibre hull suffered structural failure and imploded, it would be distorted almost instantlyfrom it's original shape and ripped from the titanium dome. We can see in the video the dome seems to have retained it's shape unlike the other pieces that were being lowered onto the truck. But I'm no engineer or physicist so I'm just guessing really. We will find out from the experts who examine the recovered wreckage what really happened.

  27.  @bgddogdflgd3013  You are the one who thought it would be a good idea to give pieces of the vehicle people died in to the grieving family members. What's your actual point?

  28.  @bgddogdflgd3013  If it was a personal item...yes. But I would feel no need to possess a part of something someone I cared about died in. But everyone is different. Some people attach great significance to symbolic items. If that is what helps them grieve and cope with loss, then a person should do what works for them. For me, when someone is gone, they are gone. I don't need a physical item to remind me what they meant to me. It is nice to have something a loved one owned and cared about though. 🙂

  30. They are probably the same type of people who never take a chance doing something risky for the excitement of the experience. I would prefer to be one of the guys on the submersible than never to have done anything that is not 100% guaranteed safe.

  40.  @Crowwillbe  I've done plenty of things once or twice that I probably wouldn't do again, but I don't regret any of them. What do you mean there is nothing to discover? Just a few decades ago it was discovered life could exist absent from the benefit of sunlight, which was not known until scientists explored volcanic vents on the bottom of the ocean. There is so much about the deep ocean we don't know, and will only find out if humans continue to push the known limits of technology.

  41.  @rigelb9025  Do you think there is "nothing to discover" in the oceans depths too?

  42.  @rigelb9025  If other people want take a certain degree of risk in things they choose to do, why should they be prevented from doing it? Every person aboard that submersible was a high-functioning, intelligent person. They were fully aware of all the risks and deemed them acceptable, including the person who designed and tested the vehicle.
    1
  43.  @rigelb9025  Obviously, I was being overly dramatic, but I stand by the sentiment. Human life has always been lost at the forefront of advancing new technology like flight and space-travel. Often, big (sometimes fatal) leaps forward, accelerate technology and knowledge exponentially beyond what would have been attained by trying to achieve the same result in safe, incrementally small baby steps. This is especially seen during times of human conflict where time is of the essence and safety is considered secondary to outcome. Humans are also competitive in nature and I think this was a factor in OceanGate pushing ahead with the Titan submersible.

  47. It had done previous dives on the Titanic so it can't be called "unproven".

  48.  @welovettrpgs  Well, to me if you do something once, you have proven it can work. That doesn't mean it was fail-safe of course, but if that was how we decided whether or not to do things, we would never have gone to the moon and back. Human knowledge advances when we push the envelope of what is considered safe.
    1
  49.  @welovettrpgs  That's right...and the Titan completed safely at least 10 trips down to the Titanic and back by some estimates. If I had $250'000 to throw away, I would happily spend it on a dive in the deep ocean on a submersible that had already successfully completed many similar voyages. That's not a difficult concept to grasp. 😉

  57. @@user-wt7do4lz9x Every one of those people were intelligent, high-functioning adults. They had access to all the vast amount of information about OceanGate, the Titan submersible, and Stockton Rush that was publicly available before they signed up for the trip. They all made a voluntary choice to get in the Titan and go to the bottom of the ocean knowing the inherent risks it involved. No-one put a gun to their heads. People should accept that sometimes shit happens and there are consequences to choices they make... not run around looking for someone to blame and sue when things go wrong.
