If you can see the site, scroll down to "Deep Trouble" (you may need a VPN).

I will come up on the TVNZ You Tube channel sometime, so I will post a link when I see it.

My VPN has an NZ server, but they want a lot more than that.

 

[quadraginta]

Yeah.

That 60 Minutes piece is the same piece I posted as the TVNZ I]Sunday[/I] program.

Guillermo Söhnlein is absolutely full of ****

The Aussie 60 Minutes segment is up on YouTube.

Note to playboy undersea billionaire dickheads. Put a goddam acoustic beacon as required to fly a commercial aircraft. Cheap bastard. I rejoice that pellagic things are eating your balls!

According to James Cameron, they had an acoustic beacon. It stopped transmitting at about the same time as the text system fell silent.

The craft imploded. No kind of beacons or other rescue devices could have saved them. A sensible, well dimensioned, and thoroughly tested design and construction could.

Oh sure, but where's the adventure in that?

Just so we're clear here. The beacon was for the recovery of the dumb **** wreckage.

Failure of general battery power and not having a dedicated power source for the beacon would be my guess. Or just placed in such a crappy location it got squished in the implosion.

Ah, well. That would have to be some sort of "black Box", otherwise it would be unlikely to survive an implosion.

There is much one can blame them for leaving out, but a device for locating the wreckage after a catastrophic failure may not be one of them.

It's always fun and games until somebody's ship implodes.

Likley just in case communications were somehow disabled so you could at least try to find the thing before a potentially survivable event became unsurvivable. Like say they were able to surface but considerable distance from the support ship.

Indeed, pity the dumb **** didn't include a friggin device that makes a very very loud noise so folks would not waste huge amounts of time and money looking fer yer stupid ass.

I don't know if you are having a go at me or merely reiterating what I said. If the former, I don't know why you bothered. If the latter, I apologise for my tone.

I was responding to a post that suggested that Rush should have put a beacon on his sub by pointing out that he did have one and by implication (it stopped transmitting when the sub imploded) it didn't do any good.

And yes, I do know: if it had continued transmitting, it would just help them locate the wreckage.

 

[jeremyp]

Cameron suggested that it was independent of the other electrical systems which would suggest it had its own power. I can't be sure that that was the case, or even that Cameron was not guessing.

Or just placed in such a crappy location it got squished in the implosion.

I think that if you are planning for an implosion, you probably shouldn't be letting people get on the sub.

Yes, I suppose we were simply talking past each other.

We can certainly agree that this project could have done with a few improvements, some of them fairly cheap and obvious.

Indeed, thats why airplanes...

Maybe the thread title needs changed or updated, since it's not exactly missing anymore, at least in the 'location unknown' sense anyway.
Suicidal Titan Underwater Project Implodes, Death?

Don't be shy, tell us how you really feel.

I assure you my friend if you accompany me to the ocean depths in a dumb **** machine our meat will be videoed being eaten by the creatures down there.

But he did include such a device: the hull. It made a very loud sound when it imploded, which the navy dutifully recorded.
