Traditional subs can be opened from the inside. They have them spinney handle thingys. Sorry for the technical terminology.
More the fact that you're sealed into something like a prisoner. Besides, couldn't such a vessel be opened from the inside at a safer depth? They lost comms not long after they began the descent.I mean, of course it can’t be opened from the inside when doing so would immediately kill everybody on board. Opening it from the inside serves no useful function. It’d be like having a handbrake on a spaceship.
How do you open a door deep underwater with a pressure of a few 1000psi. You would need to equalise the pressure to open the door.Traditional subs can be opened from the inside. They have them spinney handle thingys. Sorry for the technical terminology.
It's happening at 30min intervals, of course its the subEh? SoS means human. It also means communication. IE this is our situation.
They don't know if this banging is actually the sub.
Well you wouldn't, but you can open em when you're on the surface.How do you open a door deep underwater with a pressure of a few 1000psi. You would need to equalise the pressure to open the door.
As you say you need to eaqualise the pressure to have a slightly inboard positive pressure to open the hatch. But beyond 600ft, it aint happeningHow do you open a door deep underwater with a pressure of a few 1000psi. You would need to equalise the pressure to open the door.
Having a door that opens from the inside on an aircraft is fine because the pressure inside the aircraft at altitude is much higher than the the outside pressure which seals the door shut. It takes tonnes of force to open an aircraft door at 40,000ft.I’m no expert but on a sub you can just build a door that’s 6 inches thick and slap a valve on it so you don’t have to bolt/unbolt it every time - makes it logistically easier but nobody would ever actually open the door while under water.
Submersibles don’t have that structural luxury, doors just become vulnerabilities to high pressure.
And it's the best smell in the world after being submerged for monthsWell you wouldn't, but you can open em when you're on the surface.
I can imagine, being enclosed with a 100 hairy arsed sweaty blokes and stale farts. :)And it's the best smell in the world after being submerged for months
You're telling me space ships can't do doughnuts and handbrake turns? Dreams ruined...I mean, of course it can’t be opened from the inside when doing so would immediately kill everybody on board. Opening it from the inside serves no useful function. It’d be like having a handbrake on a spaceship.
Can I just say, as someone who has tried potholing you're fucking mental. :-)As a reformed caver/potholer, you'll never understand that sense of exploration unless you've ever been into it yourself. Given affordable chance would I like to see the world's most famous ship wreck? Absolutely.
This is my thinking. I absolutely understand why someone would want to undertake such an adventure, I would too. But having had a look at the technology and the size of the thing I wouldn't step aboard in a month of Sundays. It hardly scream safe or remotely comfortable to me, incredibly poor judgement from those on board.A submersible operated with a game console controller, the people that got into that death trap must have had more money than sense.
The salty sea dogs inside don't smell too good though ;-)And it's the best smell in the world after being submerged for months
Yes I would love to see the wreck but the vehicle used would have to be approved by James Cameron before I stepped into it.This is my thinking.

No, they literally said they dont know if its the sub.It's happening at 30min intervals, of course its the sub
We all stunk, but we don't know it because we were all the sameThe salty sea dogs inside don't smell too good though ;-)
I never said it wouldn't help, simply arguing it's not needed as long as they are banging at timed intervals, which they are.No, they literally said they dont know if its the sub.
I cant be arsed m8. I'll leave you to your argument that using morse code wouldnt help.
