Five rich idiots visit Titanic using a garbage can and Xbox 360 controller

Missing sub's rescue unlikely in frightening human drama, say experts: 'The math is not great'

Experts say there is limited opportunity to rescue the five passengers aboard the OceanGate who have been missing since Sunday during a planned trip to the Titanic wreckage.

Deep-sea vehicle industry insiders say the combination of the enormous depth, the lack of communication and the rapidly dwindling window of opportunity make rescue of the five people aboard the OceanGate highly unlikely.

The OceanGate was bringing its passengers to see the wreckage of the Titanic, about 12,500 below sea level, when it went missing on Sunday.

The OceanGate has about 40 hours of oxygen remaining, the Coast Guard reported Tuesday afternoon, assuming the vehicle did not suffer an instant catastrophic explosion, as some experts have said they fear.

"The math is not great," one career expert in autonomous underwater vehicles, more commonly known as drones, told Fox News Digital.

...


He maintained that diving to Titanic depths for the purposes of thrills is inherently dangerous.

"It’s one of these super-rich adventure-guys kind of things. Anybody should do what they want. But I wouldn’t do it," he said.

"These are not systems that have been formally approved by any kind of agency. I’m sure they had to sign their lives away."

Apparently the waiver to go on this dive was essentially "you're probably gonna die, but wouldn't it be cool if my literal garbage can submersible actually worked out??"

the passenger manifest
nobody important. just a bunch of rich douches

 

[Sleepy]

Not sure why you'd take the risk when ROV submarines are common use now and anybody that rich can easily afford one

When I eventually become rich I need to skip the private sub tour, noted.

Play stupid games..., as the saying goes.

On a personal note, I am unsure why anyone would willingly go into the ocean for non business or travel reasons. Water is not your friend, and the things that live in it are also not your friend. It is functionally, for our tiny human bodies and means, as vast, dark, and hostile as the vacuum of space, albeit for much different reasons.

If anything in the ocean was your friend, it'd meet you at the shore, and be awesome, like those people Brazilians that worked out the deal with the dolphins to catch fish:

Apparently the controller thing isnt that strange

A lot of mil drones use xbox controllers

And this is from a US nuclear submarine to control the periscope

But that is at least wired lol

 

[GirlOnInternet]

@fleacollerindustry I added "rich" to the title as well. The tickets for riding this hunk of junk were like a quarter mil.

 

[TinFoilHatGuy]

[Maniac Version 2]

Oh well they end up with what they deserve which is ded many times over. Should have made sure the sub worked . Not like visiting the titanic is a hike in the woods

The 360 controller is being used for a lot of military and civvy industrial type shit.
I've seen them hooked up to IFV fire control systems and pipe inspection robot terminals. More intuitive than the bespoke solutions and 1% of the cost.

If this video doesn't convince you that water is not your friend, I don't know what will.

And yeah, sure, Bruce Lee said "be like water", but he didn't say "be water", let alone "be in water". Just "be LIKE water".

Microsoft Xbox controllers, sure. But that was a cheaper logitech controller, apparently one with a number of known problems.

For a bunch of rich fucks they couldn't spring for the extra $30 for a nice Xbox controller.

They put their lives in the hands of the mad catz controller because your dumb ass friend was too cheap to buy another official one.

 

[FukkenUsername]

I dont understand any of this. Why are 5 guys so interested in something so gay as the titanic that they are willing to die to see it?
It makes no sense to me.

lol @ that "If you don't want to take a risk then don't even leave your house" falacy

There's a difference between:

"taking a risk to chart out a new frontier that no one else has done before, and are willing to risk your life such that your children don't have to"

and

"taking a risk because you didn't want to consult nor listen to actual experts because they were too old and too white, and the only person with ANY oceanic experience was a retired Coast Guard admiral on the Board of Directors":

Reposted video, but it should be cued up to the following relevant section:

Cool, so we'll get recordings of them dying because it's impossible to recover shit from that depth
