The First Images of the Titan Submersible bein bought ashore
  • It would have been sufficiently terrifying... You'd be hearing the hull pop, groan, and creak, then the laptops used to drive the boat start lighting up with "DANGER! HULL INTEGRITY FAILURE!", followed by Stockton frantically grabbing that video game controller to drop the ballast, do an emergency blow, but it's already too late... You don't know how long before you get turned into shark chum, but the suspense....

  • I'm inclined to agree with you on this - sometimes, rumors get exaggerated.

    The Guardian article I linked above says the Coast Guard recovered "presumed human remains" - though I'd think it would be hard to recognize much of anything exposed to that much force. A few bits of snarge, I'm guessing.

  • I don't know if that kind of temperature lasts more than microseconds, so that might not be enough time for much combustion to happen.

    In any case, the forces from a 300 atm pressure differential would mash the people to goo in the blink of an eye. Like being inside an exploding bomb. Except exploding in. They're fish food.

    EDIT: There are reports that the Coast Guard recovered "presumed human remains".

    What could possibly be left of them after that implosion?

  • What other less-toxic system could work instead of karma?
  • Related to this, one thing I've seen on Youtube & elsewhere is troll-alerting on ancient vids & posts, causing users to get slapped right & left for ridiculous bullshit.

    I propose a general statute of limitations - no banning or punishments for crap that was posted more than a month ago.

  • c'mon
  • IIRC, the biggest problem in a vacuum is that your lungs work in reverse, expelling oxygen from your bloodstream into the void, so you have about 15 seconds of consciousness with which to panic before you black out.
